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.

What property is (a•3)x b = b x(a•3) Using algebraic Expressions
Archy [21]

Answer:  Commutative Property of Multiplication

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Commutative property is when two terms trade places.

(a · 3) × b = b × (a · 3)

Notice that (a · 3) switched places with b

Find the perimeter of a rectangle of which length is 5 more than the width
Leokris [45]

Answer:

<em>the</em><em> </em><em>perim</em><em>eter</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>4</em><em>W</em><em>.</em>

<em>where</em><em> </em><em>W</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>wid</em><em>th</em><em>.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

mathematically, perimeter (p)= 2L +2W

where L= length.and W=width

<em>from</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>exp</em><em>ression</em><em> </em><em>;</em><em>length is 5 more than the width</em>

<em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>wri</em><em>tten</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em>L = 5+W

<em>sub</em><em>stitute</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>formu</em><em>la</em><em> </em>

P= 2(5+W)+2W

P=10+2W+2W

P=10+4W as the perimeter of the rectangle.

When the sample size and the sample proportion remain the same, a 90 percent confidence interval for a population proportion p w
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval for <em>p</em> will be <u>narrower </u>than the 99% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for a population proportion is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

Here \hat p is the sample proportion.

The margin of error of the confidence interval is:

MOE= z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The MOE is dependent on:

  1. Confidence level
  2. Standard deviation
  3. Sample size

The MOE is directly related to the confidence level and standard deviation.

So if any of the two increases then the MOE also increases, thus widening the confidence interval.

And the MOE is inversely related to the sample size.

So if the sample increases the MOE decreases and vice versa.

It is provided that the sample size and the sample proportion are not altered.

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 90% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}= z_{0.10/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645

And the critical value of <em>z</em> for 99% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}= z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.05}=1.96

So as the confidence level increases the critical value increases.

Thus, a 90% confidence interval for <em>p</em> will be narrower than the 99% confidence interval.
