Answer:

a) 286

b) 1,037,836,800

c) 285

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since order is not important, the total possible number of ways to choose 10 players out of 13 is the following combination:

C(13,10)=\frac{13!}{(13-10)!10! } \\C(13,10)=\frac{13*12*11*10!}{(3*2*1)10! }\\C(13,10) = 286

b) The total number of possibilities to assign positions by the selecting 10 players is the permutation of 13 players for 10 positions:

P(13,10) = \frac{13!}{(13-10)!}\\P(13,10) = 13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4\\P(13,10) =1,037,836,800

c) The number of ways to pick 10 players including at least one woman is equal to the total number of ways to pick 10 players (found in item a) minus the the number of ways to pick 10 players without picking a single woman.

Since there 10 male players for 10 positions, there is only one possible way to pick a team without women, therefore:

P=286-1 =285

Can someone please answer?<br><br> Which theorem is it?
tamaranim1 [39]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  HL

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are right triangles, opening the possibility of using the special right-triangle congruence theorems.

The hypotenuses are marked congruent, and one leg is shared. No angles (except the right angle) are marked congruent. With only two sides and one angle, the AAS, SSS, and ASA theorems cannot apply.

The HL theorem can be used to show the triangles are congruent.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br><br> How can you use subtraction to describe division?
STatiana [176]
Division is repeated subtraction, just like multiplication is repeated addition. If you divide 50 by 10, you get 5. This is also the question: How many times do you have to subtract 10 from 50 to get 0?

Gary wants to buy a video game with a selling price of $48, on sale for 50% off. The sales tax in his state is 4.5%. How much wi
Anna [14]

Answer:

$25.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take the 50% off the sales price:

($48)*(-0.50) = -$24.

($48 - $24) = $24 sale price.

Tax on $24 is ($24)*(0.05) = $1.20

Add the price and sales tax:

$24 + $1.20 = $25.20
