DJ Giovanni is making a playlist for a friend; he is trying to decide what 12 songs to play and in what order they should be pla

yed. If he has his choices narrowed down to 22 country, 11 reggae, and 5 pop songs, and he wants to play an equal number of country, reggae, and pop songs, how many different playlists are possible? Express your answer in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place.

Answer:

5.78×10¹⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

The playlist has 12 songs, and he wants the same number of songs for each genre, so he must pick 4 songs per genre.

The number of ways he can choose 4 country songs (ignoring the order) is ₂₂C₄ = 7315.

The number of ways he can choose 4 reggae songs (ignoring the order) is ₁₁C₄ = 330.

The number of ways he can choose 4 pop songs (ignoring the order) is ₅C₄ = 5.

The total number of combinations is 7315 × 330 × 5 = 1.21×10⁷.

Once he has his 12 songs selected, the number of ways he can arrange them is ₁₂P₁₂ = 12! = 4.79×10⁸.

So the total number of possible playlists is:

(1.21×10⁷) × (4.79×10⁸) = 5.78×10¹⁵

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean weight was 3398 grams with a standard deviation of 892 grams.

This means that $\mu = 3398, \sigma = 892$

Proportion that weighed between 1614 and 5182 grams:

p-value of Z when X = 5182 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1614.

X = 5182

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5182 - 3398}{892}$

$Z = 2$

$Z = 2$ has a p-value of 0.9772

X = 1614

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1614 - 3398}{892}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a p-value of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544.

Out of 614 babies:

0.9544*614 = 586

The number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams was of 586.

Factor the trinomial step by step & explain 2x^2+ 5x + 3

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

One way to factor equation is to find the zeros. Its obvious that x=-1 is solution for this. So one factor is (x+1)

the next factor should include 2x at first (because we have 2x^2 in the equation which can not be made any other way)

Let's suppose the factor is (x+1)(2x+b)

Since we do not know what is b open the brackets 2x^2+bx+2x+b. If this is equal to 2x^2+5x+3 then b=3. We are left with (x+1)(2x+3)=2(x+1)(x+3/2)

Would go for other shorter solutions, but they require some deeper understanding like Horner's scheme,Fermat's Theorem or even deeper which I assume You will not understand)

PLEASE HELP ASAP! The quotient of two rational numbers is positive. What can you conclude about the signs of the dividend and th

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

They either both have to be positive or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 1 = 1

-1 / -1 = 1

This gets you positive, when both dividend and divisors are positive or negative.

-1 / 1 = -1

1 / -1 = -1

This gets you negative, when both dividend and divisors are different signs.
