Answer: 8648640 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of positions = 7

Number of eligible candidates = 13

This can be done by solving the question using the combination Formula for selection in which we use the combination formula to choose 7 candidates amomg the possible 13.

The combination Formula is denoted as:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!

Where n = total number of possible options.

r = number of options to be selected.

Hence, selecting 7 candidates from 13 becomes:

13C7 = 13! / (13-7)! * 7!

13C7 = 1716.

Considering the order they can come in, they can come in 7! Orders. We multiply this order by the earlier answer we calculated. This give: 1716 * 7! = 8648640

What’s the probability of getting each card out of a deck?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a. 1/13

b. 1/52

c. 2/13

d. 1/2

e. 15/26

f. 17/52

g. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. In a deck of cards, there are 4 suits and each of them has a 7. Therefore, the probability of drawing a 7 is:

P(7) = 4/52 = 1/13

b. There is only one 6 of clubs, therefore, the probability of drawing a 6 of clubs is:

P(6 of clubs) = 1/52

c. There 4 fives (one for each suit) and 4 queens in a deck of cards. Therefore, the probability of drawing a five or a queen​​​​​​​​​​​ is:

P(5 or Q) = P(5) + P(Q)

= 4/52 + 4/52

= 1/13 + 1/13

P(5 or Q) = 2/13

d. There are 2 suits that are black. Each suit has 13 cards. Therefore, there are 26 black cards. The probability of drawing a black card is:

P(B) = 26/52 = 1/2

e. There are 2 suits that are red. Each suit has 13 cards. Therefore, there are 26 red cards. There are 4 jacks. Therefore:

P(R or J) = P(R) + P(J)

= 26/52 + 4/52

= 30/52

P(R or J) = 15/26

f. There are 13 cards in clubs suit and there are 4 aces, therefore:

P(C or A) = P(C) + P(A)

= 13/52 + 4/52

P(C or A) = 17/52

g. There are 13 cards in the diamonds suit and there are 13 in the spades suit, therefore:

P(D or S) = P(D) + P(S)

= 13/52 + 13/52

= 26/52

P(D or S) = 1/2

MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $350 per week

20% commission on sales

20/100 × 925 = $185

Total earning = $350 + $185 = $535

b) For $x in sales, commission is

20/100 × x = 1/5 × x = x/5 or 0.2x

Total earnings = $350 + $ x/5 or $350 + $0.2x
