A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:
n!/((n-r)!r!)
In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.
5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5
5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5
Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.
Now we add together the combinations
1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.
The answer is 32.
-------------------------------
Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:
n!/(n-r)!
Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.
We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.

Answer:
a) ( j + m ) / 7
b) The product of <em>j</em> and <em>m </em>increased by 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally without the 10% extra, both have 100%. since the question stated that the first salesperson have 10% more, the percentage of his paycheck will be a total of 110%. on the other hand, the second salesperson will have only 100%. the question then stated that when both oaychecks are added together, it will give a total of $1075.
110% + 100% represents $1075
210% represents $1075
so now you need to find what is 1 %
1% represents $(1075/210)
the first salesperson have 110%, so you
(1075/210) × 110% = $563. 0952381
round off to the nearest cent so it will become $563.10
the first salesperson paycheck is $563.10
the second salesperson paycheck 100%. so you....
(1075/210) × 100% = $511.9047619
=$511.90
therefore the second salesperson paycheck is $511.90.
Given:
μ = 25 mpg, the population mean
σ = 2 mpg, the population standard deviation
If we select n samples for evaluation, we should calculate z-scores that are based on the standard error of the mean.
That is,
The random variable is x = 24 mpg.
Part (i): n = 1
σ/√n = 2
z = (24 -25)/2 = -0.5
From standard tables,
P(x < 24) = 0.3085
Part (ii): n = 4
σ/√n = 1
z = (24 -25)/1 = -1
P(x < 24) = 0.1587
Part (iii): n=16
σ/√n = 0.5
z = (24 - 25)/0.5 = -2
P(x < 24) = 0.0228
Explanation:
The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Therefore when n increases, we are getting a result which is closer to that of the true mean.
Answer:
(1,2.16), (2,4.32) and (3, 6.48).
The solution (1,2.16) means that 1 cubic units of pudding weighs 2.16 pounds.
The solution (2,4.32) means that 2 cubic units of pudding weighs 4.32 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation y=2.16x describes the weight y of x cubic pounds of pudding.
The three solutions of this equation are (1,2.16), (2,4.32) and (3, 6.48).
Now, solution (1,2.16) means that 1 cubic unit of pudding weighs 2.16 pounds.
Again, solution (2,4.32) means that 2 cubic units of pudding weigh 4.32 lbs. (Answer)
