Answer:

(A) P (n,k) = n!/(n-k)! divided by 2

(B) C (n,3) = n!/(12)(n-3)!

(C) C (n,k) = n!/(n-k)!(k!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation deals with order or arrangement or position of objects. Where this does not matter, we use the Combination formula.

We divide by 2 in all cases, because no 2 chosen chairs should be adjacent.

For (B), n=10

C (n,3) = n!/(n-3)!(3!) divided by 2

3! = 3×2×1 = 6

The expression divided by 2 means it will be multiplied by 1/2

Hence 6×2 = 12

And we arrive at

C (n,3) =n!/(12)(n-3)!

A book sold 31,100 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 7.8% of the number of copies sold to date. How
zvonat [6]
For this problem you can create a proportion.
Since 31,100 copies is 7.8% of the total copies spoke up to date you can make this proportion:
31,100. 7.8%
——— =. ———
x. 100%
Now you cross multiply and you will get
7.8x=3,110,000
After this you solve for x by isolating the variable.
7.8x/7.8. 3,110,000/7.8
x=398,717.949
Since the question asks you to round to the nearest whole number which is 7 then the final answer would be 398,718
Answer: There has been 398,718 copies sold to date.

Alberto measures the length of a piece of wire to be 105 cm. The actual length of the wire was 120 cm. What was the percent erro
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

105 over 120 is the fraction that he got so you subtract 105 from 120 to get how much he missed. 120-105=15

He miscalculated by 15 cm out of the total of 120, 15/ 120

15/120=5/40=2.5/20 multiply the top and bottom by 5 to get the percentage out of 100. 2.5 times 5 =12.5, so he miscalculated by 12.5%
