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

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder:

V \approx 150.796 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder, you need the this formula:

V = \pi r^2h

-Use the given height and radius for the formula:

V = \pi 4^2 3

-Then, solve the formula:

V = \pi \times 4^2 \times 3

V = \pi \times 16 \times 3

V = \pi \times 48

V = 48\pi \approx 150.796

So, the volume of a cylinder is approximately 150.796 ft^3 .

What’s 4x + 7y + 4 + 5x + y
fomenos

Hello!

Okay, so first we need to add like terms... so first, add the terms with the same variables. That gives us:

9x + 7y + 4 + y

Now add 7y and y

That gives us:

9x + 8y + 4

This can't be added anymore... this is as far as we can go because they are no longer like terms.

You are inscribing a regular hexagon in a circle. You need to know the angle measure between the vertices. You divide 360° by wh
Svet_ta [14]

To know the angle measure between the vertices, you divide 360° by 3. Option C

<h3>Interior angles of a hexagon</h3>

Formula for interior angles of polygon is given as;

= ( n -2 ) × 180 degrees

Hexagon has 6 sides, n = 6

= ( 6 - 2 ) × 180° = 4 × 180° = 720°

Each interior angle = 720/ 6 = 120

To get 120 from 360

= \frac{360}{120}

= 3

Thus, to know the angle measure between the vertices, you divide 360° by 3. Option C
