Answer:

The probability that no guest gets their own hat back = (44/120) = 0.3667

Step-by-step explanation:

The hats can be returned to the guests in

5! different ways. That is, there are 120 difderent permutations of people getting their hats back.

And the number of combinations in which no guest gets their own hat back is 44. (Using the derangement theory)

A derangement is an arrangement of n objects in which no object retains its original position.

It is represented by !n and it is evaluated as the closest whole number to (n!/e)

That is,

!n = (n!/e) (note that e is the rulers number we're used to in mathematics)

e = 2.7183

So, the derangement of 5 guests would be

!5 = (5!/e) = (120/2.7183) = 44.1 = 44.

So, the probability that no guest gets their own hat back = (44/120) = 0.3667

Hope this Helps!!!

you can transform 4x + 12 = 9x - 3 again into a simpler form by subtracting 4x form both sides to get 12 = 5x - 3, if you subsit

Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.

12 = 5(3) - 3    

12 = 15 - 3

12 = 12  

So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .

Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.

4x + 12 = 9x -3  

-4x           -4x

 12 = 5x -3  

+3           +3

15 = 5x  

x = 3

Find the value of X in the triangle shown below.
Travka [436]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangle's angles are 180 so since you know one angle is 80, you would put 2x + 80 = 180, which would be 2x = 100, which simplifies to x = 50
