Suppose you are running a racing tournament with 12 horses. All eligible horses run in the race at once, and after the first rac

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a) 66

b) 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀ = 12!/ (2!)* (12-2)! = 12*11/2 = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈ = 10! / 8! * (10-8)! = 10*9/ 2 = 45

On a certain IQ test, eleven people averaged a 101.5. A certain reality TV star took

dem82 [27]

Answer:

59.98

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers, we sum them all together and divide them by the size of the set. Here, we start out with 11 IQ scores. We don't know what they are, but we can still set up an equation with the information we do have. Let's call the sum of those 11 score s. The average must be s/11, which we know is 101.5. With that, we can set up and solve and equation for s:

$\dfrac{s}{11}=101.5\\s=101.5(11)\\s=1116.5$

Let's call the score of the reality TV star r. If we add their score to the set, we now have 12 scores. The sum of those scores is gonna be the sum of the previous scores, 1116.5, plus the reality TV star's score, r. To find the average, we divide the sum by 12. Finally, we're told that this average is exactly 98.04. Putting all of this into an equation gives us

$\dfrac{1116.5+r}{12}=98.04$

We can now solve for r algebraically, first by multiplying both sides by 12:

$1116.5+r=98.04(12)\\1116.5+r=1176.48$

And then subtracting 1116.5 from both sides:

$r=1176.48-1116.5\\r=59.98$

alex41 [277]

Answer: $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two upward facing parabolas with equations

$y=6x^2 & y=x^2+2$

The two intersect at

$6x^2=x^2+2$

$5x^2=2$

$x^2$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

x= $\pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

area enclosed by them is given by

A= $\int_{-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left [ \left ( x^2+2\right )-\left ( 6x^2\right ) \right ]dx$

A= $\int_{\sqrt{-\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left ( 2-5x^2\right )dx$

A= $4\left [ \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \right ]-\frac{5}{3}\left [ \left ( \frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2}-\left ( -\frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2} \right ]$

A= $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

The digit \greenD88start color #1fab54, 8, end color #1fab54 in which number represents a value of 888 thousandths?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Question:

The digit 8 in which number represents a value of 8 thousandths?

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires options and the options are missing.

However, the following explanation will guide you

Start by representing 8 thousandths as a digit

$\frac{8}{1000} = 0.008$

i.e.

8 thousandths implies 0.008

Next;

Replace the 0s with dashes

_ . _ _8

Note that there are two dashes after the decimal point and before 8

PS: The dashes are used to represent digits

This implies that thousandths is the 3rd digit after the decimal point

Typical examples to back up this explanation are:

17.008, 1.1489, 0.008 and so on...
