Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r

ooks? Translation for those who are not familiar with chess: pick 8 unit squares at random from an 8x8 square grid. What is the probability that no two chosen squares share a row or a column?

Answer:

The probability is \frac{56!}{64!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.

The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8, 64 \choose 8 .

For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function  f : A \rightarrow A , with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.

Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.

We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

\frac{8!}{64 \choose 8} = \frac{8!}{\frac{64!}{8!56!}} = \frac{56!}{64!}

What are the solutions to<br> (m +11)2 = 64?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(21 + 11)2 = 64

So, I don't think teachers do this, but this is my way of doing it

Okay, so first, I divided 64 by 2 :

64 ÷ 2 = 32

Then, I subtracted 11 from 32:

21

Now, to check, just do the problem :

(21 + 11)2 = 64

      32 * 2 = 64

If I have a 62% in a class, what percentage do I need to get on a 50% weighted test grade to have at least a 70% in the class?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

78%

Step-by-step explanation:

70 = 0.50 (62) + 0.50 (x)

70 = 31 + 0.5x

39 = 0.5x

x = 78

You must get at least a 78% on the test to have at least 70% in the class.
