You need to know the number of different arrangements possible for five distinct letters. You decide to use the permutations rul

e, but your friends tells you to use 5!. Who is correct? Explain.
Both methods are correct, since you are counting all possible arrangements of 5 items taken 5 at a time.

Your friend is correct because applying the permutations rule in this setting would be inappropriate.

Neither method is correct. The combinations rule should be applied in this setting.

Your method is correct because you are applying the permutations rule in the appropriate setting.

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we want to arrange a number of objects or letters or numbers n then we must check whether

i) repitition is allowed

If repitition is allowed then total number of ways = n!

ii) repitition not allowed.

In this case again we have to check whether order matters or not.

If order matters then no of ways nPn.  

Here n =5

We find that nPn = 5!

Thus both are correct.

Hence option A

1. Let U the set of students of the university of Cambridge. Let the subsets of U:
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

A) A ∩ C means in both sets, in this case A and C, and in this question all students both over 20 years and with social stratum of 1, 2 and 3.

B) A ∪ B means in either set or both, both will do, in this case meaning all students in A or B or any in between, and in this question all students over 20 years and/or are women.

C) As is already explained above, B  ∪ C means in this question all students that are women and/or have social stratum of 1, 2, and 3.

D) This is the same as A). Refer to A).

E) A ∪ C is already explained above, and in this question means all students over 20 years and/or have social stratum of 1, 2, and 3.

F) Same as E). Refer to E).

G) Same as A). Refer to A).

H) A ∩ B ∩ C means in students in all three sets simultaneously, and in this question all students that are over 20 years, women, and with social stratum of 1, 2 and 3.

I) A - B, in set theory would mean all students in A but not in B, in other words the difference. In this question, it would mean all students over 20 years that are not women.

J) (A - B) ∩ C would mean, as already explained above, all students over 20 years that are not women and with social stratum of 1, 2 and 3. Usually, it's easier to treat all unions or intersections or whatnot inside brackets as one whole thing, kind of like how you do algebra.

K) B 4 C is nonsensical, there is nothing in set theory like this.

L) Same as K).

The given description between C) and D) would be that they are the same, and comparing F) and G), it seems that the question is trying to make the point that they are almost the same but defined differently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped!

Caleb started with 50 bacteria for his science experiment and they doubled in one day. Jenna also started with 50 bacteria for h
MrRa [10]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The second power basically means that you multiply the number by itself that many times depending on the power, and since it's 50^2, the answer is Caleb - 100 | Jenna - 2,500. (Tip: Just multiply 50 x 50)
