Is this problem a combination or permutation?

Mathematics

Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

Combination

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) The difference between combinations and permutations is the ordering of each term.

Combinations - the order doesn't matter

Permutations - the order matters.

An example of this is, if you enter the number combination 5324 into your locker/cabinet, it won't open up because it is a different ordering and needs a specific combination which means it's permutation.  

2) In this situation, the order doesn't not matter since they just want different ways to select an assistant, a representative, a treasurer, and a recorder.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer: Permutation Problem

There are 5040 permutations possible

==================================================

Explanation:

Order matters because the positions are different.

(A,B,C,D) is different from (B,A,C,D) because the first means person A is the assistant while the second means person B is the assistant.

We have 10 choices for the first slot, 9 for the second, 8 for the third, and 7 for the fourth. We count down the values because a person cannot be reselected to serve multiple positions simultaneously.

Multiply out those values to get 10*9*8*7 = 5040

There are 5040 permutations possible.

---------------

As an alternative, you can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 10 and r = 4 like so

_n P_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10!}{(10-4)!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10!}{6!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10*9*8*7*6!}{6!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = 10*9*8*7 \ \ \text{ ... note how this shows up again}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = 5040\\\\

We get the same answer as before.

If cos Φ8/17 find the other five trigonometric ratios​
NeX [460]

Answer:

cos theta=8/17

8/17=A/H

finding O,

O ² + A² =H ²

(8)²+O²=(17)²

64+O²=289

O²=289-64

O²=225

O=√225

O=15

we know that H=17, A=8, O=15

therefore, the other trigonometric ratios are

sinФ=O/H=15/17

tanФ=O/A=15/8

cosecФ=H/O=17/15

secФ=H/A=17/8

cotФ=A/O=8/15

hope it helps u!

¿De qué manera influye la ética en el hombre a partir de su función crítica? Explique.
Radda [10]

Answer:

La ética es una rama de la filosofía que se ocupa de la reflexión crítica sobre las acciones de los hombres. En un sentido general, la ética busca establecer los criterios para juzgar si una acción puede calificarse de correcta o incorrecta, y para evaluar los motivos y consecuencias de dicha acción. Las cuestiones éticas también juegan un papel importante en la política, los negocios y la medicina, y en campos de la ciencia y el estudio como la historia, la biología y la sociología, la ética de la profesión es ocasionalmente un tema de discusión.

Así, la ética implica una evaluación de las acciones de las personas, calificándolas como correctas o incorrectas a los ojos de la sociedad. De esta manera, influye en la forma en que las personas realizan o dejan de realizar una determinada acción, ya que estas consideran sus consecuencias positivas o negativas al momento de realizarla.

Elena is playing a dice game with her father. She will win if she DOES NOT roll a 1, 3, or 6. Find the probability that Elana wi
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The probability that she was on her next roll is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If she does not roll 1,3 or 6, she wins

So if she rolls 2,4 and 6 , she wins

The probability of rolling each is 1/6 each

So the probability of rolling any of the three will be:

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
