A store sells 8 colors of balloons with at least 28 of each color. How many different combinations of 28 balloons can be chosen?

Len [333]

Answer:

(a) $Selection = 6724520$

(b) $At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

(c) $At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

(d) $At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Colors = 8$

$Balloons = 28$ --- at least

Solving (a): 28 combinations

From the question, we understand that; a combination of 28 is to be selected. Because the order is not important, we make use of combination.

Also, because repetition is allowed; different balloons of the same kind can be selected over and over again.

So:

$n => 28 + 8-1$ $= 35$

$r = 28$

$Selection = ^{35}^C_{28$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{(35 - 28)!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29*28!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}$

$Selection = \frac{33891580800}{5040}$

$Selection = 6724520$

Solving (b): At most 12 red balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 13 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 15 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13)

So:

$n => 15 + 8 -1 = 22$

$r = 15$

Selection of at least 13 =

$At\ least\ 13 = ^{22}C_{15}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{(22-15)!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{7!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = 170544$

Ways of selecting at most 12 =

$At\ most\ 12 = Total - At\ least\ 13$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 12 = 6724520- 170544$

$At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

Solving (c): At most 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 9 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 19 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 9)

So:

$n => 19+ 8 -1 = 26$

$r = 19$

Selection of at least 9 =

$At\ least\ 9 = ^{26}C_{19}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{(26-19)!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{7!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = 657800$

Ways of selecting at most 8 =

$At\ most\ 8 = Total - At\ least\ 9$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 8 = 6724520- 657800$

$At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

Solving (d): 12 red and 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways for selecting 13 red balloons and 9 blue balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 6 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13 - 9)

So:

$n =6+6-1 = 11$

$r = 6$

Selection =

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{(11-6)!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{5!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = 462$

Using inclusion/exclusion rule of two sets:

$Selection = At\ most\ 12 + At\ most\ 8 - (12\ red\ and\ 8\ blue)$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 170544+ 657800- 462$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = Total - Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 6724520 - 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$

What is the radius of the Brazilian coin that has a circumference of 84.78 mm? Explain your work. Use 3.14 pi

ICE Princess25 [194]

Hey there!

Sorry If this answer is late, but here ya go.

To find the radius of this Brazilian coin, first multiply 3.14 by 2. This will give you and answer of 6.28. Then, divide 84.78 mm by this, and you will get your radius of 13.5.

Have a good day! And stay CRAZZZY! :D
