I will give brainliest to simplest explanation! There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committ

Alika [10]

Answer:

117,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using fundamental principle of counting , according to which , if there are m different things and n different things,

then there m*n ways to combine.

Example: if there 5 shirts and 3 ties,

then number of ways in which different combination shirt and tie can be worn is

5*3 = 15 ways.

____________________________________

In the problem,\

number of states is 50,

let those states be

A1, A2, A3, A4 ......A50

in each state there are 2 senate

Condition

3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same state.

then

first member can be chosen from any of the 50 state,

hence first member can be chosen in 50 ways

for simplicity lets take state A1, you can choose any one you wish

second member cannot be from state A1, then number of state left = 49

second member can be chosen from any of 49 state left

hence second member can be chosen in 49 ways

for simplicity lets take state A2,

Third member cannot be from state A1 and A2, then number of state left = 48

Third member can be chosen from any of 48 state left

hence Third member can be chosen in 48 ways

for simplicity lets take state A3,

Hence no. of ways of choosing 3-Senator committee be formed such that no two Senators are from the same state = 50*49*48 = 117,600 ways

Which set of ordered pairs is not a direct variation?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The first option is not a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of a direct variation, as one value increases, the other value increases too

Or as one value decreases, the other value decreases

A direct variation is of the form;

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is the coefficient of variation that must be a constant value all through the set of values

The values we are comparing here are the x and y values

let us take a look at the options;

The first option is not a direct variation

For the first option, the rate of increase is not constant;

2/6 = 1/3 , 8/12 = 2/3 , 14/18 = 7/9

for the second;

the ratio is 1 to 1

for the third;

3/6 = 1/2 ; 6/12 = 1/2; 9/18 = 1/2

for the fourth;

2/6 = 1/3, 4/12 = 1/3 , 6/18 = 1/3

Describe and correct the error in finding the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 12, 20, 28.

ycow [4]

Answer: The tenth term is 76

=======================================================

Explanation:

We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term

$a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)$

Plug in $a_1 = 4, \ d = 8, \ n = 10$ and you should get the following:

$a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(10-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(9)\\\\a_{10} = \textbf{76}\\\\$

The tenth term is <u>76</u>

---------

We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

$\begin{array}{c|c}\boldsymbol{n} & \boldsymbol{a_n}\\1 & 4\\2 & 12\\3 & 20\\4 & 28\\5 & 36\\6 & 44\\7 & 52\\8 & 60\\9 & 68\\10 & \textbf{76}\\\end{array}$

---------

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in $a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)$ which shifts everything one spot to the left.
