Answer: The correct number of balls is (b) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a single winner is to be chosen in a random draw designed for 210 participants. Also, there is an equal probability of winning for each participant.

We are using 10 balls, numbered through 0 to 9. We are to find the number of balls which needs to be picked up, regardless of order, so that each of the 210 participants can be assigned a unique set of numbers.

Let 'r' represents the number of balls to be picked up.

Since we are choosing from 10 balls, so we must have

^{10}C_r=210.

The value of 'r' can be any one of 0, 1, 2, . . , 10.

Now,

if r = 1, then

^{10}C_1=\dfrac{10!}{1!(10-1)!}=\dfrac{10!}{1!9!}=\dfrac{10\times 9!}{1\times 9!}=10

If r = 2, then

^{10}C_2=\dfrac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}=\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8!}{2\times 1\times 8!}=45

If r = 3, then

^{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\dfrac{10!}{3!7!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{3\times 2\times 1\times 7!}=120

If r = 4, then

^{10}C_4=\dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times\times 7\times 6!}{4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 6!}=210.

Therefore, we need to pick 4 balls so that each participant can be assigned a unique set of numbers.

Thus, (b) is the correct option.

Answer:

Option b - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A random draw is being designed for 210 participants.

A single winner is to be chosen, and all the participants must have an equal probability of winning.

If the winner is to be drawn using 10 balls numbered 0 through 9.

To find : How many balls need to be picked, regardless of order, so that each of the 210 participants can be assigned a unique set of numbers?

Solution :

Let n be the number of balls drawn.

According to the question,

n balls are to be drawn out of the 10 balls such that we get total 210 choices irrespective of their order i.e. ^{10}C_n=210

Now we check fro given options,

a) The value of n=10

^{10}C_{10}=\frac{10!}{10!\times 0!}

^{10}C_{10}=1\neq 210

It is not correct.

b) The value of n=4

^{10}C_{4}=\frac{10!}{4!\times (10-4)!}

^{10}C_{4}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6!}{4\times 3\times 2\times 6!}

^{10}C_{4}=210

It is correct.

c) The value of n=5

^{10}C_{5}=\frac{10!}{5!\times (10-5)!}

^{10}C_{5}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5\times4\times 3\times 2\times 5!}

^{10}C_{4}=252\neq 210

It is not correct.

d) The value of n=3

^{10}C_{3}=\frac{10!}{3!\times (10-3)!}

^{10}C_{3}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{3\times 2\times 7!}

^{10}C_{4}=120\neq 210

It is not correct.

Therefore, option b is correct.

HELP DUE IN 10 MINUTES!! WILL GIVE BRAINLEST IF CORRECT!!!!
Harman [31]

Answer:

<u>Given equation:</u>

  • y = 10x - 32

<u>To find the y-intercept, evaluate the equation with x = 0:</u>

  • y = 10*0 - 32
  • y = 0 - 32
  • y = -32

<u>To find the x-intercept, evaluate the equation with y = 0:</u>

  • 0 = 10x - 32
  • 10x = 32
  • x = 32/10
  • x = 3.2

An online music store offers 5 downloads for $6.25.Another online music store offers 12 downloads for $17.40.Which store offers
Anon25 [30]
Well, what you have to do is find the unit rate for each one of those prices and how you do that is by dividing each price by the downloads

so $6.25 divided by 5= $1.25

and then $17.40 divided by 12= $1.45


so that means the one with $6.25/5 downloads has a better deal!
