Answer:

\binom{18}{5}= 8568

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we have in total 18 items. Even though we are given information regarding the amounts of items per type, the general question asks the total number of ways in which you can pick 5 out of the 18 objects, without any restriction on the type of chosen items. Therefore, the information regarding the type is unnecessary to solve the problem.

Recall that given n elements, the different ways of choosing k elements out of n is given by the binomial coefficient \binom{n}{k}).

Therefore, in this case the total number of ways is just \binom{18}{5}=8568

Answer:

Given:

Number of objects: n = 18

Type A objects: 10

Type B objects: 5

Type C objects: 3

To find:

In how many ways can you Pick 5 of the 18 objects (order does not matter)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order does not matter we use Combination.

Formula to calculate combination:

C(n,r) = n! / r! ( n - r )!

n = 18

r = 5

Putting the values:

C(n,r)

= C(18,5)

= 18! / 5! ( 18 - 5 )!

= 18! / 5! ( 13 )!

= ( 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 ) / ( 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 ) * (13 * 12 * 11 * 10 *9* 8 * 7 *6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 *1 )

Cancel 13!

= (18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 ) / ( 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 )

= 1028160 / 120

= 8568

So you can pick 5 of the 18 objects in 8568 ways.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 70*M

B = 500 + 50*M

Costing the same means equal, so we have the equation:

70M = 500 + 50M

-50M           -50M

 

20M = 500

20M / 20 = 500 / 20

m- 25 months

There are a rack of 14 billiard balls. Balls numbered 1 through 8 are solid-colored. Balls numbered 9 through 14 contain stripes
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

3/7  /    42.8% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 striped balls (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) solid colored balls. So, 6 / 14 balls are striped.

(6 / 14  = 3 / 7)

this means that the probability of a ball being striped has the odds of 3/7

(3/7 = about 42.8% chance)

1. Sarah and Maya both need notebooks and pencils. The equation that represents Sarah's
STALIN [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y = 13 - 3x and y = 7 - x.

=> 13 - 3x = 7 - x

=> 2x = 6, x = 3.

Then y = 7 - (3), y = 4.

Hence the price of a pencil is $3 and the price of a notebook is $4. (C)
