Answer:

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

There are 16 players participated in a tennis tournament.

and 3 players will be awarded for first, second, and third prize.

As we know,

ⁿCₓ = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

n = the number of items.

x = how many items are taken at a time.

As given, n = 16 , x = 3

⇒¹⁶C₃ = \frac{16!}{3! (16-3)!} = \frac{16!}{3! (13)!}  = \frac{16.15.14.13!}{3! (13)!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3.2.1} = \frac{3360}{6} = 560

∴ we get

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

The answer of this question
ella [17]

Answer: Yes, it would be biased. If David asked the question about movies, however, it would not be.

Step-by-step explanation: It would be biased because he is asking listeners to his show who send fan mail. Fan mail is typically only sent by people who enjoy the creator. Therefor, he would be surveying only people who enjoy his podcast so the results would be heavily biased.  I am unsure about how the second part of the question relates to the first part. If David were to ask the same 100 individuals about their favorite movies rather than whether or not they liked his podcast, it would not contain biased results because he or his podcast does not have anything to do with movies. :)

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ways we can solve this problem:

1. Graphically

2. Mathematically

Because you already solved it graphically, I will show you how to do so mathematically. Of course, graphically is much much easier and more efficient in this problem.

Let's break the problem down.

First, we are given a graph which contains a slope.

To find slope, we use the technique -> rise/run

Picking 2 obvious points from the graph, we can see

1st point -> (10, 20)

2nd point -> (40, 80)

Now, let's find the slope

\frac{80-20}{40-10}  = \frac{60}{30}  = 2

Now, we have an equation y = 2x, where y = number of pies and x = cups of sugar

We want to find how many cups of sugar we need to bake 80 pies. Simply substitute 80 = number of pies = y

y = 2x -> 80 = 2x

Solving for x, divide both sides by 2

40 = x

We need 40 cups of sugar.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04

b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States

This means that p = 0.04, n = 50

Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.

In Australia, only 1.5% of the population has blood type AB.

This means that p = 0.015, n = 40

Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Here

n = 90, p = 0.04*\frac{50}{90} + 0.015*\frac{40}{90} = 0.0289

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

Options a and b are true, while c is false.
