A group of k elements can be chosen from a group of n elements in \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} ways.

(^{12} _4)=\frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!}=\frac{12!}{4! \times 8!}=\frac{8! \times 9 \times 10 \times 11 \times 12}{2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 8!}=\frac{9 \times 10 \times 11 \times 12}{2 \times 3 \times 4}= \\ \\
=3 \times 5 \times 11 \times 3=495

The answer is B. 495.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

6/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Because england, scotland and france are european team and they make up 3/5 of all the teams, you multiply 3/5 by 2/5 because the south american teams are brazil and argentina which make up 2/5 of the total teams. So the probability that a european team will play a south american team is 3/5*2/5 which is 6/25

alex is running in a clockwise direction around a circular track with radius 60 yards. he runs for 20 minutes at a speed of 4 ya
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.
