Answer: 4004ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Students =15

Total number of students to be on the committee =5

Since two members are of the same major and must not be on the committee, then we are left with choosing 5 people from just 14 People after we eventually remove one from those two students with same majors.

Hence to select 5 people from 14 people, we use the combination formula 14C5.

From the two students with same major we also use the combination Formula in knowing the number of ways any of the two students can be chosen. To choose one from these two students, we use the combination Formula 2C1.

Hence, the total number of ways to choose the committee of 5 and ensuring the two students with same major aren't on the committee becomes:

= 14C5 * 2C1

= 2002 * 2

= 4004ways.

URGENT!: Which best explains why these two figures are similar or not similar?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

These two figures are similar because \frac{5}{3} equals \frac{15}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures will be similar if their ratios of the two sides are equal. So we need to check the ratios of the figures to see if they are similar or not.

For the smaller figure the ratio is \frac{5}{3}, and for the bigger figure the ratio is \frac{15}{9}. which upon simplification reduces to  \frac{5}{3}.

So we see that the ratios are equal. Thus the figures are similar.
