(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

What is the mean median mode and range of the numbers 31 28 30 31 30 ...?
mamaluj [8]
1. Mean is the number you get when you add all these numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. So, (31 + 28 + 30 + 31 + 30) / 5 = 150 / 5 = 30
2. The median is the middle number in the list of numbers, so, the answer is 30 as well.
3. Mode is the number that appears most often, so here it is 30 and 31 because they both appear 2 times.
4. Range is the difference between the largest and smallest number, so 31 - 28 = 3.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0. After adding B2 to both sides of the equation in step 4,
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

I dont quite understand the problem but this is one way to solve it using completing the square:-

2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

2(x^2 + 4x) - 12 =  0

2((x + 2)^2 - 4)  = 12

2(x + 2)^2 - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8

2(x + 2)^2 = 20
