Answer:

<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions (N_s) and the total number of possible choices (N_t), i.e.

\displaystyle P=\frac{N_s}{N_t}

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total

We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.

To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The total number of possible choices is

_{2}^{20}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The probability is then

\boxed{\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}}

Gnoma [55]
<span>Given that the orbital period, P, of a planet and the planet’s distance from the sun, a, in astronomical units is related by the formula P = a^(3/2). If Saturn’s orbital period is 29.5 years, then 29.5 = a^(3/2) a = (29.5)^(2/3) = 9.547 Therefore, Saturn's distance from the sun is 9.547 astronomical units.</span>

<span>  <span>first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i  wrote it for you:) Finding the square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. </span> The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers. The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself.   </span>                                                                                                                                                                          <span>Many mathematical operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring, which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents), has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 … </span> The square root of a number, n, written <span> is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself.

A farm increases in value from $800,000 to $1,100,000 over a period of 6 years. Use the formula r=(F/P)^1/n−1 to find the annual
enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula representing the the annual inflation rate r is expressed as

r = (F/P)1/n−1

Where

n represents the the number of years during which the value increases from P to F

A farm increases in value from $800,000 to $1,100,000 over a period of 6 years. This means that

P = $800,000

F = $1,100,000

n = 6

Therefore,

r = (1100000/800000)1/6−1

r = 1.375/5 = 0.275
