Answer:

3780.  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will start by just considering the number of ways to arrange 9 objects. We can do this in  9!  ways.

However since we have 3 reoccurring letters in Tennessee namely n,s and e we need to remove the times these form the same arrangement. Let me give an example to show what this means. Lets say we have the arrangement:

ennetssee

Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide  9!  by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.

Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by  2! .

The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by  2!  again.

Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by  4!  here.

Now we get the following result:

9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.  

So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

generally people cover 110 yards in 11 seconds. express the speed in feet per second. (3 feet = 1 yard)
ivolga24 [154]
1 yd = 3 feet....so 110 yds = 3(110) = 330 ft

330 feet / 11 seconds = (330/11) = 30 feet per second

The centers for disease control and prevention reported that 25% of baby boys 6-8 months old in the united states weigh more tha
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

0.1971 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of weighing more than 20 pounds,

Since, the binomial distribution formula is,

P(x)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

Where, ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Given,

The probability of weighing more than 20 pounds, p = 25% = 0.25,

⇒ The probability of not weighing more than 20 pounds, q = 1-p = 0.75

Total number of samples, n = 16,

Hence, the probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds,

P(X

=^{16}C_0 (0.25)^0 (0.75)^{16-0}+^{16}C_1 (0.25)^1 (0.75)^{16-1}+^{16}C_2 (0.25)^2 (0.75)^{16-2}

=(0.75)^{16}+16(0.25)(0.75)^{15}+120(0.25)^2(0.75)^{14}

=0.1971110499

\approx 0.1971
