Answer:

a) 1470 ways

b) 2835 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not correct, in the correct question The number of independents should be 3 not 2

there are 7 republicans, 10 democrats and 3 independents.

C(n,r) is the number of different combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

a) it will consist of 1 Republican and 4 Democrats

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,1) × C(10,4) = \frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 7 × 210 = 1470 ways

(b) it will consist of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents (consist of 2 independents not 3)

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,2) × C(10,2) × C(2,2)

 =\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!}* \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!} = 21 × 45 × 3 = 2835 ways

Please help :( Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.
wariber [46]
The grade of the path in the mountain is calculated by determining first the ratio between the rise over the run and multiplying the ratio by 100%. 

For Path A: 

                 grade = (rise / run) x 100%
                 grade = (1414/ 3535) x 100% = 40%

<em>Answer: 40%</em>

For Path B:
              grade = (rise / run) x 100%
              grade = (4.26 m/ 22 m) x 100% = 19.36%

Answer: 19.36%
