Step-by-step explanation:

<em>"A total of 12 players consisting 6 male and 6 female badminton players are attending a training camp."</em>

<em />

<em>"(a) During a morning activity of the camp, these 12 players have to randomly group into six pairs of two players each."</em>

<em>"(i) Find the total number of possible ways that these six pairs can be formed."</em>

The order doesn't matter (AB is the same as BA), so use combinations.

For the first pair, there are ₁₂C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 12.

For the second pair, there are ₁₀C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 10.

So on and so forth.  The total number of combinations is:

₁₂C₂ × ₁₀C₂ × ₈C₂ × ₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 66 × 45 × 28 × 15 × 6 × 1

= 7,484,400

<em>"(ii) Find the probability that each pair contains players of the same gender only. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."</em>

We need to find the number of ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs.  Using the same logic as before:

₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 15 × 6 × 1

= 90

There are 90 ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs, which means there's also 90 ways that 6 girls can be grouped into 3 pairs.  So the probability is:

90 × 90 / 7,484,400

= 1 / 924

≈ 0.0011

<em>"(b) During an afternoon activity of the camp, 6 players are randomly selected and 6 one-on-one matches with the coach are to be scheduled.</em>

<em>(i) How many different schedules are possible?"</em>

There are ₁₂C₆ ways that 6 players can be selected from 12.  From there, each possible schedule has a different order of players, so we need to use permutations.

There are 6 options for the first match.  After that, there are 5 options for the second match.  Then 4 options for the third match.  So on and so forth.  So the number of permutations is 6!.

The total number of possible schedules is:

₁₂C₆ × 6!

= 924 × 720

= 665,280

<em>"(ii) Find the probability that the number of selected male players is higher than that of female players given that at most 4 females were selected. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."</em>

If at most 4 girls are selected, that means there's either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 girls.

If 0 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₆ × ₆C₀ = 1 × 1 = 1

If 1 girl is selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₅ × ₆C₁ = 6 × 6 = 36

If 2 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₄ × ₆C₂ = 15 × 15 = 225

If 3 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₃ × ₆C₃ = 20 × 20 = 400

If 4 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₂ × ₆C₄ = 15 × 15 = 225

The probability that there are more boys than girls is:

(1 + 36 + 225) / (1 + 36 + 225 + 400 + 225)

= 262 / 887

≈ 0.2954

Find the radius of each figure. round to the nearest tenth.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

8.25475 m

Step-by-step explanation:

pi*r^3 is the formula for a sphere.


Using this, pi is a nmber (about 3.14) and we only don't know the radius, but we know what it equals.


pi*r^3=1,767.1

First divide by pi, then get ride of the cube by cube rooting both sides.


The cube root of 1767.1/pi (remember to cube root both denominator and numberator!!!) is about 8.25475 m

I WILL MARKED BRAINLIEST IF YOU COULD ANSWER THIS!
tester [92]

Answer:

s = -2400t + 17400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say t is the x value on a coordinate plane, and s is the y. Then, we have the points (0, 17400) and (6, 3000). The slope of these is 14400/-6 or -2400.

Now we just have the equation y = -2400x + b, and from the point (0, 17400) we can find that b is 17400. So, we have y = -2400x + 17400. Convert these back into t and s and you get your answer, s = -2400t + 17400.

2. What is the value of x? Show your work.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Find the scale factor

30 ÷ 25 = 1.2

→ Multiply answer by 20

20 × 1.2 = 24

→ Equate equation to 24

4x - 4 = 24

→ Add 4 to both sides

4x = 28

→ Divide both sides by 4

x = 7
