Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of students in cooking club = x

Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x

Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x

Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club

Then ;

Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42

2(1/5)x = x - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

-0.6x = - 42

x = 42 / 0.6

x = 70

Hence, number of students in chess club :

(2/5) * 70 = 28

How can you determine if you need to use a combination or permutation to count the number of outcomes? Which will usually have m
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}
