FIND the number of combinations 8C2
1 answer:
Answer:
8c2 = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
You can plug this into your calculator (on a TI-84, it's MATH -> PRB -> 3) as 8 nCr 2.
Let's try to understand what the output means, though! The nCr function is based on Pascal's Triangle (see the attachment for a picture).
When we do 8 choose 2, we are basically thinking about having 8 possible values and 2 spots to fit them in, and we don't care about what order they're in. The probability of this is 8*7 / 2 = 28. Our answer makes sense!

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.
<u>Table A</u>
These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.
<u>Table B</u>
These fractions are equal and each shows the numerator to be half of the denominator. This is proportional.
<u>Table C</u>
These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.
<u>Table D</u>
These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.
