Answer:

10626 different arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have a total of 23 students and we want to form groups of 3, where the order of the 3 students matters, we can solve this problem using a permutation of 23 choose 3.

The formula for a permutation of n choose p is:

P(n,p) = n! / (n-p)!

So, using n = 23 and p = 3, we have:

P(23,3) = 23! / (23-3)! = 23! / 20! = 23 * 22 * 21 = 10626

So we have a total of 10626 different arrangements of first, second and third place.

4. Can two lines be parallel and perpendicular? Explain.
lidiya [134]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to understand that parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. On the other hand, perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle.

However, lines can't be both parallel and perpendicular because they either intersect each other at a right angle or never intersect.

So no, two lines can't be both parallel and perpendicular.

Few students manage to complete their schooling without taking a standardized admissions test such as the Scholastic Achievement
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.

Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60

Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50

I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3

Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.

Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00

And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.

One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00
