notka56 [123]

Answer:

There are 35990 ways in which 2 or 3 nodes fail

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A computer network has 60 switching nodes.

To Find : In how many ways can 2 or 3 nodes fail?

Solution:

We are supposed to find no. of ways can 2 or 3 nodes fail.

So, we will use combination here .

No. of ways can 2 or 3 nodes fail= $^{60}{C_2 +^{60}C_3$

Formula : $^nC_r =\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

No. of ways can 2 or 3 nodes fail= $\frac{60!}{2!(60-2)!}+\frac{60!}{3!(60-3)!}$

= $35990$

Hence there are 35990 ways in which 2 or 3 nodes fail

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

39 investors contributed $6,000, and 21 investors contributed $12,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x investors contributed $6,000, and y investors contributed $12,000.

x + y = 60

6,000x + 12,000y = 486,000

x + 2y = 81

x + y = 60

y = 21

x + 21 = 60

x = 39

So, 39 investors contributed $6,000, and 21 investors contributed $12,000.

Hope this helps!
