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.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salted package be represented with 1 and the unsalted, 2.

So:

\mu_1: Mean of salted package

\mu_2: Mean of unsalted package

Considering the given options, the null hypothesis is that which contains =.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

The opposite of = is \ne. So, the alternate hypothesis, is that which contains \ne

So, the alternate hypothesis is:

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0

The Moores paid $6 more for skate rentals than the Cotters did. Together, the two families paid $30 for skate rentals.How many p
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider Cotters paid "x" dollars:

According to given condition:

Moores paid "x+6" dollars.

Both paid total $30

Hence,

(x) + (x+6) = 30

Solving for x:

2x +6 = 30

    2x = 30-6

    2x = 24

       x = 24/2

       x = 12

So amount paid by Moores  = x +6 = 12+6 = $18

*****To find number of pairs of skates: price of one pair must be given.
