<h3>Answer: 0.027145</h3>

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

Work Shown:

You will be using the nCr combination formula here. Refer to the attached image below (figures 1 through 5).

We have a pool of n = 6 freshmen and we're selecting r = 2 individuals from this pool, so there are nCr = 6C2 = 15 ways to pick the two freshmen (see figure 1).

There are 84 ways to pick the sophomores since 9 C 3 = 84 (see figure 2)

Refer to figure 3 to see how 8 C 4 = 70. So there are 70 ways to pick the juniors.

Refer to figure 4 to see how 10 C 5 = 252. There are 252 ways to pick the seniors.

Finally, refer to figure 5 to see how 33 C 14 = 818,809,200. This is the number of ways to pick 14 students from a pool of 33 (add up all the students).

--------------

Multiply out the results of figures 1 through 4 to get:

15*84*70*252 = 22,226,400

This represents the number of ways to select all the students as mentioned in the instructions.

Then divide this over the result of figure 5

(22,226,400)/(818,809,200) = 0.02714478537858

This rounds to 0.027145 when rounding to 6 decimal places.

{{Geomotry}} <br> please I need help! My math grade depends on it! ;w;
lozanna [386]
This basically means that you have to multiply the x and y values by 3. So 2 time 3 is 6. And -7 times 3 is -21. So the new coordinations are (6, -21)

Hope this helped and pls mark as brainliest!

an online sporting goods store charges $12 for a pair of athletic socks. shipping is $2 per order. write an expression that hana
djverab [1.8K]
For one pair of socks you pay $12 plus $2 shipping.

Let's use x as the variable for how many pairs of socks someone might buy.

If someone buys 5 pairs of socks, they will pay $62. $12 * 5 + $2

So, we can write the expression as 12x + 2.
