Answer: N = 20C2 = 190

Therefore, Timika has 190 ways of choosing the pairs of children to lead the way

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total number of children = 20

Number of children to lead the way = 2

Since all the children have equal possibilities of being selected to lead the way, and for the order is not important.

Then the number of ways to select two leaders from 20 children will be given by;

N = 20C2 = 20!/2!(20-2)! = 20!/2!18!

N = 20 × 19/2

N = 190

Therefore, Timika has 190 ways of choosing the pairs of children to lead the way

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

90 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Against wind DATA:

distance = 600 miles ; time = 5 hrs. ; rate = 600/5 = 120 mph

With wind DATA:

distance = 600 miles ; time = 2 hrs ; rate = 600/2 = 300 mph

Equations:

p + w = 300

p - w = 120

2p = 420

p = 210 mph (speed of the plane in still air)

Since p+w = 300, w = 300-210 = 90 mph (speed of the wind)

Consider the provided information.

Observational study: In this study observer only observe the subjects, and measure variables of interest without allocating treatments to subjects.

For example: you want to examine the side effect of smoke on lung.

Experiment study:The researchers are applying treatments to experimental units in the research, then the effect of the treatments on the experimental units is observed.

For example: Flipping a coin

Now consider the provided information:

Thirty university students are divided into two groups. One group receives free tutoring in mathematics comma the other doesn't. After one semester comma scores on final mathematical examinations are compared.

Here, the researcher applying treatment to experimental units.

Thus, the provided study is an experiment.
