7) PG & E have 12 linemen working Tuesdays in Placer County. They work in groups of 8. How many

BabaBlast [244]

Part A

Since order matters, we use the nPr permutation formula

We use n = 12 and r = 8

$_{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{479,001,600}{24}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = 19,958,400\\\\$

There are a little under 20 million different permutations.

<h3>Answer: 19,958,400</h3>

============================================================

Part B

In this case, order doesn't matter. We could use the nCr combination formula like so.

$_{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{8!(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8!}{8!*4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4!} \ \text{ ... pair of 8! terms cancel}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{11880}{24}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\$

We have a much smaller number compared to last time because order isn't important. Consider a group of 3 people {A,B,C} and this group is identical to {C,B,A}. This idea applies to groups of any number.

-----------------

Another way we can compute the answer is to use the result from part A.

Recall that:

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

If we know the permutation value, we simply divide by r! to get the combination value. In this case, we divide by r! = 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320

So,

$_{n}C_{r} = \frac{_{n}P_{r}}{r!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{_{12}P_{8}}{8!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{19,958,400}{40,320}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\$

Not only is this shortcut fairly handy, but it's also interesting to see how the concepts of combinations and permutations connect to one another.

Sakura speaks 150 words per minute on average in Hungarian, and 190 words per minute on average in Polish. She once gave cooking

marusya05 [52]

Answer:3 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Sakura speaks hungarian =150 words per minute

Sakura speaks polish =190 words per minute

and it is given she speaks 270 more words in polish than in hungarian

She speaks for a total of 5 minutes

let she speaks hungarian for t mins

therefore $150\times t+270=190\left ( 5-t\right )$

t=2 mins

therefore sakura speaks hungarian for 2 mins and polish for 3 mins

Consider an urn containing 8 white balls, 7 red balls and 5 black balls.

weqwewe [10]

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

1) The probability of getting 2 white balls is equal to:

$=\frac{8}{20} \times \frac{7}{19}\\\\= 0.147368421053$

2) the probability of getting 2 white balls is equal to:

$=C^{2}_{5}\times (\frac{8}{20} \times \frac{7}{19}) \times (\frac{12}{18} \times \frac{11}{17} \times \frac{10}{16})\\=0.397316821465$

3) The probability of getting at least 72 white balls is:

$=C^{72}_{150}\times \left( \frac{8}{20} \right)^{72} \times \left( \frac{7}{20} \right)^{78} +C^{73}_{150}\times \left( \frac{8}{20} \right)^{73} \times \left( \frac{7}{20} \right)^{77} + \cdots +C^{149}_{150}\times \left( \frac{8}{20} \right)^{149} \times \left( \frac{7}{20} \right)^{1} +\left( \frac{8}{20} \right)^{150}$

$=\sum^{150}_{k=72} [C^{k}_{150}\times \left( \frac{8}{15} \right)^{k} \times \left( \frac{7}{15} \right)^{150-k}]$

The table below shows the numbers of tickets sold at a movie theater on Friday.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Number of Adult's tickets sold on Saturday = 3,356

Number of Children's tickets sold on Saturday = 2, 928

Total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the number of tickets sold on FRIDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 1,678

Children's Tickets sold = 976

So, the total number of tickets sold on Friday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 1,678 + 976 = 2,654 .... (1)

The number of tickets sold on SATURDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 2 times the number of adult tickets sold on Friday

= 1,678 x 2 = 3,356

Children's Tickets sold = 3 x the number of children's tickets sold on Friday.

= 976 x 3 = 2, 928

So, the total number of tickets sold on Saturday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 3,356 + 2,928 = 6, 284 .... (2)

Now, the total number of tickets booked in these two days :

Sum of tickets booked on (Friday + Saturday)

= 2,654 + 6, 284 = 8,938

Hence, total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Divide. Express the quotient in simplest form.<br> x^2−x−12/2x^2÷x^2+x−6/2x^3

sertanlavr [38]

Hey there!

These are technically expressed as fraction. When you divide a fraction by another, you can replace the second fraction with its reciprocal and you can now multiply the fractions together instead.

$\frac{x^2-x-12}{2x^2} / \frac{x^2+x-6}{2x^3}$

$\frac{x^2-x-12}{2x^2} * \frac{2x^3}{x^2+x-6}$

Now, just multiply across the top and the bottom. You can first cancel out any terms that are repeated or similar.

$\frac{12}{2x^2} * \frac{2x^3}{-6}$

$\frac{2}{x} * \frac{1}{-1}$

$\frac{2}{-x}$

Your answer will be $\frac{2}{-x}$ .

Hope this helped you out! :-)
