\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}} ~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\cfrac{\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}}{x}~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \textit{we know that } \begin{cases} y = 8\\ x = 3 \end{cases}\implies 8=\cfrac{k}{3}\implies 24=k~\hfill \boxed{y = \cfrac{24}{x}} \\\\\\ \textit{when x = 10, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad \qquad y = \cfrac{24}{10}\implies y = \cfrac{12}{5}

In how many ways can a quality-control engineer select a sample of3 transistors for testing frm a batch of 100 transistors?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

161700 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the transistors are chosen is not important. This means that we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

3 transistors from a set of 100. So

C_{100,3} = \frac{100!}{3!(100-3)!} = 161700

So 161700 ways.
