Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A Permutation is an ordered Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation. There are basically two types of permutation:

  • Repetition is Allowed: such as the lock above. It could be "333".
  • No Repetition: for example the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.

Formula is given by:

nC_r= \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!} , where n is the number of things to choose from,  and we choose r of them,  no repetitions,  order matters. Here , n=13 , r=3.

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(13-3)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13(12)(11)10!}{3(2)(1)(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = 13(2)(11)

⇒ 13 C_3 = 286

∴ Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

What is the probability that a point chosen at random on the grid will lie in the shaded region?
Mashcka [7]

Given:

A grid with a shaded region.

To find:

The probability that a point chosen at random on the grid will lie in the shaded region.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of small boxes = 100

Number of blue boxes (shaded region) = 36

Now,

probability that a point chosen at random on the grid will lie in the shaded region is

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Number of blue boxes (shaded region)}}{\text{Total number of small boxes}}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{36}{100}

To find the probability in percent, multiply it by 100.

\text{Probability}\%=\dfrac{36}{100}\times 100

\text{Probability}\%=36\%

Therefore, the correct option is A.
