Answer:

a) N = \frac{n!}{(7-m)!m!}

b) N = N = N(1)+N(2)+N(3)+N(4)+N(5)

N(i) = P(n)(i) = \frac{n!}{i!}, i = {1,2,3,4,5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Supposing Sanjay has n total marbles, and the order which the marbles are positioned is important(it means that B-B-B-O-B-B-B and O-B-B-B-B-B-B are different outcomes), the number of ways N that Sanjay can set up a 7 marble long line is a permutation of n with repetition(where m is the number of black marbles and 7-m is the number of orange marbles).

Mathematically, this is written as:

N = P(n)(m, 7-m) = \frac{n!}{(7-m)!m!}.

where P means permutations.

10 outcomes for this problem are:

B-B-B-B-B-B-B

B-O-B-B-B-B-B

B-O-O-B-B-B-B

B-O-B-O-B-B-B

B-O-B-B-O-B-B

B-O-B-B-B-O-B

B-O-B-B-O-O-O

B-O-O-B-O-B-B

B-O-O-B-O-O-B

O-O-B-B-O-B-B

...

b) For this question, you have to consider the ways that Sanjay could set up a line with one marble(N(1)), two marbles(N(2)), three marbles(N(3)), four marbles(N(4)) and five marbles(N(5)). The number of ways is N = N(1)+N(2)+N(3)+N(4)+N(5), where

N(i) = P(n)(i) = \frac{n!}{i!}, i = {1,2,3,4,5}.

What is the greatest value of 2,463.9051
RoseWind [281]

Hey There @Bre18016,

The answer is \boxed{2}

The greatest value of 2,463.9051 would be the thousands place (2) simply as it is the biggest number out of the other places.

For instance, if we had the number 300, 3 would be the greatest value.

Or let's say we had 10,000 the 1 would be the greatest value.

Furthermore, you could look at the first digit in the entire number to deter mine the greatest value.
