If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

e written in decreasing order but are not necessarily distinct? In other words, how many 5-tuples of integers (h, i, j, k, m) are there with n ≥ h ≥ i ≥ j ≥ k ≥ m ≥ 1?

Answer:

n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets divide it in cases, then sum everything

Case (1): All 5 numbers are different

 In this case, the problem is reduced to count the number of subsets of cardinality 5 from a set of cardinality n. The order doesnt matter because once we have two different sets, we can order them descendently, and we obtain two different 5-tuples in decreasing order.

The total cardinality of this case therefore is the Combinatorial number of n with 5, in other words, the total amount of possibilities to pick 5 elements from a set of n.

{n \choose 5 } = \frac{n!}{5!(n-5)!}

Case (2): 4 numbers are different

We start this case similarly to the previous one, we count how many subsets of 4 elements we can form from a set of n elements. The answer is the combinatorial number of n with 4 {n \choose 4} .

We still have to localize the other element, that forcibly, is one of the four chosen. Therefore, the total amount of possibilities for this case is multiplied by those 4 options.

The total cardinality of this case is 4 * {n \choose 4} .

Case (3): 3 numbers are different

As we did before, we pick 3 elements from a set of n. The amount of possibilities is {n \choose 3} .

Then, we need to define the other 2 numbers. They can be the same number, in which case we have 3 possibilities, or they can be 2 different ones, in which case we have {3 \choose 2 } = 3  possibilities. Therefore, we have a total of 6 possibilities to define the other 2 numbers. That multiplies by 6 the total of cases for this part, giving a total of 6 * {n \choose 3}

Case (4): 2 numbers are different

We pick 2 numbers from a set of n, with a total of {n \choose 2}  possibilities. We have 4 options to define the other 3 numbers, they can all three of them be equal to the biggest number, there can be 2 equal to the biggest number and 1 to the smallest one, there can be 1 equal to the biggest number and 2 to the smallest one, and they can all three of them be equal to the smallest number.

The total amount of possibilities for this case is

4 * {n \choose 2}

Case (5): All numbers are the same

This is easy, he have as many possibilities as numbers the set has. In other words, n

Conclussion

By summing over all 5 cases, the total amount of possibilities to form 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n is

n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}

I hope that works for you!

Why is volume of a cone is written in cubic units
frutty [35]

Answer:

The formula for the volume of a cone is 1/3 Bh. This means 1/3 the Area of the base times the height. You can calculate the area by multiply length and width. Area is two-dimensional. Multiplying height by it adds another dimension. When writing area, we say units squared. When writing volume, we say units cubed, because it is three dimensional.

1. A factory worker in Cambodia makes 320,000 Cambodian Riels per month. If 1 U.S. dollar equals 4000 Cambodian Riels, how much
Mama L [17]
1. A factory worker in Cambodia makes 320,000 Cambodian Riels per month. If 1 U.S. dollar equals 4000 Cambodian Riels, how much does the factory worker make in U.S. in dollars per year?
 For this case we must first take the amount $ per month.
 We have then:
 1 $ ---> 4000
 x = ----> 320000
 Solving for x we ​​have
 x = (320000/4000) * (1) = $ 80 / month
 We have then that 1 year two 12 months
 ($ 80 / month) * (12 months / 1 year) = $ 960 / year
 Answer
 the factory worker make 960 U.S. in dollars per year

 2. People in Japan on average eat 3 ounces of fish per day. How many pounds of fish is this per week?

 For this case, the first thing you should know is that a week has 7 days.
 We can make a rule of three to find the number of ounces per week
 3 ---> 1
 x = ----> 7
 x = (7/1) * (3) = 21ounces / week
 Then, we should do the conversion of ounces to pounds
 1 oz = 0.0625 pounds
 Thus,
 (21ounces / week) * (0.0625 punds / 1 ounce) = 1.3125 pounds / week
 answer
 3 ounces of fish per day is 1.3125 pounds / week

 3. The town of Lloró, Colombia has an average yearly rainfall of 500 inches. On average, how many centimeters of rain does the town get each day?

 The first thing you should know in this case are the following conversions:
 1 year = 365 days
 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
 We have the annual average rainfall is
 500 (inches / year)
 Making the conversion we have
 500 (inches / year) * (2.54) (centimeters / inches) * (1/365) (year / days) =
 3.45 (centimeters / days)
 Answer
 the town get each day 3.45 (centimeters / days)

4. The average American student is in class for 330 min / day. How many hours / day is this? Part b) How many sec / day?
 The first thing you should know for this case are the following conversions
 1 hour = 60 minutes
 1 minute = 60 seconds.
 Making the right conversions we have
 330 (min / day) * (1/60) (hour / minutes) = 5.5hours / day
 On the other hand we have
 330 (min / day) * (60/1) (seconds / minutes) = 19800 sec / day
 answer
 330 (min / day) = 5.5hours / day
 330 (min / day) = 19800 sec / day
