Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

b.

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

c.

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%

marie can make 1/8 quart of orange juice in 3/4 of a minute by squeezing oranges. At this rate, how much juice can she make in 1
scZoUnD [109]

we are given

Marie can make 1/8 quart of orange juice in 3/4 of a minute by squeezing oranges

it means

\frac{3}{4} min=\frac{1}{8} juice

Since, we have to find for 1 minute

so, to find 1 on left side , we will have to multiply both sides by 4/3

\frac{4}{3}*\frac{3}{4} min=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{1}{8} juice

1 min=\frac{1}{6} juice..............Answer

1. The graph below represents five cities and the routes between them. An out-of-state road inspector is asked to fly into Potts
ollegr [7]

Please see attached image for the graph.


a.       Yes, it is mathematically possible because the degree of vertices for P=3, T=3, M=2, C=4, and R=2 and in Euler’s theorem, the graph has to be connected, which in this case it is and the number of vertices in the graph whose vertices is odd, is 0 or 2. And in this case, we have 2 that have a degree of vertices that are odd, therefore mathematically this is possible for the driver. The route would be P > R > C > M > T > C > P > T.

 

b.       <span>It is mathematically possible. The router would be P > C > R > T > M > C > T. Essentially, you travel each road once.

</span>

c.       The driver would use a Hamiltonian circuit. The route would be J > R > A > C > V > M > T > P > J.
