Answer:

There are 8008 possible outcomes are there the first time he grabs 6 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the chocolates are chosen is not important. So the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

How many possible outcomes are there the first time he grabs 6 chocolates?

6 chocolates from a set of 16. So

C_{16,6} = \frac{16!}{6!(16 - 6)!} = 8008

There are 8008 possible outcomes are there the first time he grabs 6 chocolates

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

The problem with the here is that we might have introduced bias into our sample by failing to randomize the assignment of gender. By pacing the male gender in the treatment group and females into the control group, this might spring up a spurious association in our experiment as a result of a possible confounding variable, gender. Therefore, assignment of subject shouldn't be on the basis of gender.

2.)

Using a coin toss in placing subjects into groups will give a good random assignment, however, since only ten subjects are available and of which 5 will be placed into each group, there is no certainty that there will be equal number of heads and tails during the 10 flips. Alternatively, a random selection of the name of the 10 subjects could be chosen from a raffle.

3.)

Each batch of rat might be homogenous and hence will affect our experiment and definitely our conclusion. It would be best to assign rats from each batch to all treatment groups in other to obtain a good random design

What is the value of x?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:  x = 7

`Step-by-step explanation:

Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:

 9 cm       72 cm

----------- = -----------

3x - 20      56 cm

Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²

Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:

3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7

Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27.  Then x must be 9.
