Answer:

The number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 9 cars.

These 9 cars are to divided among 3 racing groups.

The condition applied is that there should be 3 cars in each group.

Use permutation to determine the total number of arrangements of the cars.

  • For group 1:

       There are 9 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 1.

       This can happen in ^9P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^9P_{3}=\frac{9!}{(9-3)!} =504 ways.

  • For group 2:

       There are remaining 6 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 2.

       This can happen in ^6P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^6P_{3}=\frac{6!}{(6-3)!} =120 ways.

  • For group 3:

       There are remaining 3 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 3.

       This can happen in ^3P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^3P_{3}=\frac{3!}{(3-3)!} =6 ways.

The total number of ways to arrange the 9 cars is: ^9P_{3}\times ^6P_{3}\times ^3P_{3}=504\times120\times6=362880

Thus, the number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.

LenKa [72]

4 friends evenly dividing up a n - slice pizza

So each one get \frac{n}{4} slices of pizza.

 For example, if n = 12 slice then each friend gets 12/4 = 3 pieces.  If Harris ate one slice less then he ate  \frac{12}{4}-1=3 -1 =  2 pieces.

So the general expression for slices of pizza did Harris eat is

\frac{n}{4}-1

The standard deviation for actuary salaries has a standard deviation of $36,730 . You collect a simple random sample of n=36 sal
Yanka [14]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 111000, \sigma = 36730, n = 36

Hence, the lower bound of the interval is:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 111000 - 1.96\frac{36730}{\sqrt{36}} = 99002

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.
