Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of permutations of boys and girls on the team are:

¹⁶P₅*¹³P₄

1.

Bob will be one of the fixed boys to be picked. Hence, actually 4 boys are to be picked from 15. The permutations of girls being picked remains the same.

Probability = Permutations with Bob as one of the boys / Total permutations

Probability = (¹⁵P₄*¹³P₄) / (¹⁶P₅*¹³P₄) = ¹⁵P₄ / ¹⁶P₅

Probability = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!}/\frac{16!}{(16-5)!} = 15! / 16! = 1/16

2.

Now, Bob is one of the fixed boys and Jane is one of the fixed girls. Hence, actually 4 boys are to be picked from 15 and 3 girls are to be picked from 12.

Probability = Permutations with bob as one of the boys and jane as one of the girls / Total permutations

Probability = (¹⁵P₄*¹²P₃) / (¹⁶P₅*¹³P₄) = (1/16)*(1/13) = 1/208

3.

Now, the probability that at least Jane or Bob will be picked has been asked. This probability is a combination of three probabilities:

Probability = (Probability that only Bob will be picked) + (Probability that only Jane will be picked) + (Probability that both will be picked)

Probability = 1/16 + 1/13 + 1/208 = 0.123

4.

Total teams possible = ¹⁶P₅*¹³P₄ = 8994585600 teams are possible

5) Assume this is an acceleration graph, where the X axis represents time in seconds and the Y axis represent velocity in m/s. W
Stels [109]

Answer:

D) Acceleration is positive and increasing.​

Step-by-step explanation:

In formulae, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time; for example:

a=\frac{v}{t}

where Δ V is the variation of velocity and Δ T is the variation in time.

The graph depicts the velocity of a moving item as a function of time. As we can see ΔV is the increment on the y-axis, while ΔT is the increment on the x axis: therefore, the ratio ΔV/ΔT is the curve's slope. In fact, the slope of the curve in a velocity-time graph corresponds to the object's acceleration. In this graph, we can see that the slope of the curve is growing, which means that the acceleration is positive (since the slope is positive and the velocity is increasing) and increasing (because the slope is increasing).

I need help now is due today!!!! : An animal shelter houses only cats and dogs, and there are 25% more cats than dogs. If there
bija089 [108]

Answer:

30 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 40 cats, and 25% more cats than dogs. If you find 25% of 40, you get 10. That means there are 10 more cats than dogs. 40-10= 30.

30 dogs.
