Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don

Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

$nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

The formula can now be applied as follows;

$\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}$

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.

Two groups of staff at a store are making flowers to decorate the entrance. If Group A were to do it alone, it would take them 1

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$\dfrac{6750}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowers. If Group A were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 10 hours to complete the task, then they make $\dfrac{x}{10}$ flowers in an hour. If Group B were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 15 hours to complete the task, then they make $\dfrac{x}{15}$ flowers in an hour.

The groups decided to work together. They can make $\dfrac{x}{10}+\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{x}{6}$ together in an hour and it takes them $\dfrac{x}{\frac{x}{6}}=6$ hours. Group B took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes ( $1\dfrac{2}{3}$ hour), then Group B works

$6-1\dfrac{2}{3}=4\dfrac{1}{3}$ hours.

Thus,

$\dfrac{x}{10}\cdot 6-\dfrac{x}{15}\cdot 4\dfrac{1}{3}=300,\\ \\\dfrac{3x}{5}-\dfrac{13x}{45}=300,\\ \\14x=300\cdot 45=13500,\\ \\x=\dfrac{13500}{14}=\dfrac{6750}{7}.$
