Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 120 Pianist in a competition

(a)In first round 30 pianist is selected

this can be done in $^{120}C_{30} ways$

$=\frac{120!}{(120-30)!30!}$

$=\frac{120!}{90!30!}$

(b)In the second round 5 pianist is selected out of 30

this can be doe by $=\frac{30!}{(30-5)!5!}$

$=\frac{30!}{25!5!}$

$=142,506$

What ratio is represented in the table ?

dezoksy [38]

1. The tables represent a ratio of 3:5. For example, 6 x 3 = 18, and 6 x 5 = 30. Also, 20 x 3 = 60, and 20 x 5 = 100.
2. The table has a ratio of 3:4, so the missing blank is 64.

The time to assemble the first unit on a production line is 8 hours. The learning rate is 0.81. Approximately how long will it t

pochemuha

Answer:

4.428 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If the learning rate is 0.81, the slope of the learning curve is:

$b=\frac{ln(0.81)}{ln(2)} \\b=-0.304$

The time it takes to produce the n-th unit is:

$T_n=T_1*n^b$

If T1 = 8 hours, the time required to produce the seventh unit will be:

$T_n=8*7^{-0.304}\\T_n=4.428\ hours$

It will take roughly 4.428 hours.

Colby is making a home video consisting of a 5-minute introduction followed by several short skits. Each skit is 6 minutes long.

givi [52]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: There are a total of 16 skits in the video.

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement, we know that the total length of the video is 101 minutes and it contains a 5-minute introduction, the rest of the minutes are short skits (which are 6 minutes long each one).

So, we need to write the following equations:

First equation:

$TotalDuration=Introduction+n*Skit$

Second equation:

$Skit=6Minutes$

Where,

$TotalDuration=101Minutes\\Introduction=5Minutes\\n=NumberOfSkits\\Skit=6Minutes$

So, replacing and substituting the second equation into the first equation we have:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+n*6Minutes\\n*6Minutes=101Minutes-5Minutes\\n*6Minutes=96Minutes\\n=\frac{96Minutes}{6Minutes}=16$

So, there are a total of 16 skits in the video.

Let's prove it substituting "n" into the first equation:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+16*6minutes\\101Minutes=5Minutes+96Minutes\\101Minutes=101Minutes$

Have a nice day!
