Answer:

Permutation. ; 83810 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation and combination methods refers to mathematical solution to finding the number of ways of making selection for a group of objects.

Usually, selection process whereby the order of selection does not matter are being treated using permutation, while those which takes the order of selection into cognizance are calculated using combination.

Here, selecting 2 members (president and vice president) from 290 ; since order of arrangement does not matter, we use permutation ;

Recall :

nPr = n! ÷ (n - r)!

Hence,

290P2 = 290! ÷ (290 - 2)!

290P2 = 290! ÷ 288!

290P2 = (290 * 289) = 83810 ways

Camille invested money into an account that earned annual simple interest with a rate of 6.5%. She made no additional deposits o

vichka [17]

Answer:

$30341.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it says simple interest, use the formula I = Prt.

(I is interest, r is the % rate as a decimal, t is the time)

So, you have to solve the equation,

1755 = P (0.065)(9)

Since 0.065 x 9 = 0.585, the equation can be simplified to

1755 = 0.585P

Then, to get P, you divide both sides by 0.585

P = 1755/0.585 = $30341.88

A person participates in a state lottery by selecting six numbers from 1 through 51. If the six numbers match the six drawn by t

Licemer1 [7]

There are

$\dbinom{51}6=\dfrac{51!}{6!(51-6)!}=18,009,460$

total ways to draw any 6 numbers from the range 1 to 51, regardless of order.

Given 6 selected numbers that match those drawn by the lottery, there are

$6!=720$

ways of rearranging them. So the probability of winning 1st prize is

$\dfrac{720}{18,009,460}=\dfrac{36}{900,473}\approx0.0000399790$

Next, given 6 selected numbers of which 5 match those drawn by the lottery, there are

$5!=120$

ways of rearranging those 5 matching numbers. There are 46 remaining numbers that didn't get drawn, so the probability of winning 2nd prize is

$\dfrac{46\cdot120}{18,009,460}=\dfrac{12}{39,151}\approx0.0003065$

Solve for X. 20 points !!!!

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

4) x = - 12

5) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since points T and S are mid points of sides ML and MN of triangle MLN.

Therefore, by mid point theorem,

TS is half of LN

so,

$x + 26 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 40) \\ \\ 2(x + 26) =x + 40 \\ \\ 2x + 52 = x + 40 \\ \\ 2x - x = 40 - 52 \\ \\ x = - 12$

5) In the same way x = 4 will be the correct answer in question number 5.
