Since order does not matter, ie Joe, Jim, and Dave is the same as say Jim, Dave, and Joe.  You would use the "n choose k" formula for unique combinations...

n!/(k!(n-k)!), where n=number of possible selections and k=selections made...

12!/(6!(12-6)!)

12!/(6!6!)

924

So there are 924 possible different committees of six people from a pool of twelve people.

What is the area of the given sector
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Assuming the shape is a piece of a circle, you can determine the ratio of the shape to a full circle. A full circle will have 360 degree but this shape is only 40 degree. Then the ratio would be: 40/360= 1/9 full circle.

Then, using the circle area formula, the area of the 1/9 circle would be: 
full circle area= pi * r^2
full circle area= 22/7 * 6^2
full circle area= 792/7
1/9 full circle area= 792/7*9= 88/7 = 12.57

22% of the customers visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit, 30% will purchase a shirt and 28% wil
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

If there are 1000 customers in the store one week, how many will purchase exactly one of these items

1000 CUSTOMERS*28%=280

Step-by-step explanation:

A The event that a persons buys a suit  

B The event that a person buys a shirt  

C The event that a person buys a tie  

 

P(A)=  22%

P(B)=  30%

P(C)=  28%

P(AB)= 11%

P(AC)= 14%

P(BC)= 10%

P(ABC)= 6%

A u B u C Is the event that any item is bougth

AC u AC u BC Is the event that any two events occured

So the wanted probability is

P[(A u B u C )(AB u AC u BC)^c

P[(A u B u C )=P(AB)+ P(BC)+P(BC)

P[(A u B u C ) =0.22+0.30+0.28-0.11-0.14.-0.10+0.06

                      =0,51

0,51=+0,23+P[(A u B u C )(AB u AC u BC)^c

        =0,28

1000 CUSTOMERS*28%=280

Answer:

Graph the second equation by finding two data points. By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis. At the point of intersection of the two equations x and y have the same values.
