There were 15 students running in a race. How many different arrangements of first, second, and third place are possible?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The area 2730 possible arrangements of first, second, and third place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the students finish is important. For example A, B and C is a different finishing order(outcome) than B, A and C. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

3 from a set of 15. So

[tex]P_{(15,3)} = \frac{15!}{(15-3)!} = 2730[/tex]

The area 2730 possible arrangements of first, second, and third place.

What is mean ?

The mean is the average value which can be calculated by dividing the sum of observations by the number of observations

The mean value of the data set is the ratio of sum of data set's values to number of values it has.

If the data set consists of values

Mean = Sum of observations/the number of observations

[tex]\overline{x} = \dfrac{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{n}[/tex]

Given;

Mean of 5 weeks= 92

Mean= (week 1 + week 2 + week 3 + week 4+ week 5)/number of weeks

         let, the score of next week be x

                  Mean = (92+96+94+88+x)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

During one year Saul takes 15 credit hours for each three quarters. Tuition and fees amount to $608 per credit hour. Textbooks average $420 per quarter. The prorated monthly cost for tuition and fees and textbooks is?

Answers

Answer:

Total textbook cost of tuition fees per month will be $ 2,356 and 25 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise, we will first define the total cost per quarter.

cost of 1 credit hour = $ 601

then we solve the following:

cost of 15 credit hours = $ 601 * 15 = $ 9015

textbooks = $ 410

then we solve the following:

total cost = 9015 + 410 = $ 9425

total cost for 3 quarters = 3 * $ 9425 = $ 28275 for 12 months

we calculate as follows

Total textbook cost of tuition fees per month will be

$ 28,275 / 12 = $ 2,356 and 25 cents

Answers

Answer:

Josh is right, he needs less than 1000 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the height using Pythagorean's Theorem.

[tex]34^{2} =13^{2} +h^{2} \\h=\sqrt{1,156-169}=\sqrt{987} \approx 31[/tex]

So, the height is 31 centimeters, approximately.

Now, we use the given expression and the base and height

[tex]P=b^{2} +2bh=13^{2}+2(13)(31)=169+806=975 \ cm^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, Josh is right, he needs less than 1000 square centimeters. Specifically, he needs 975 square centimeters.

What is the factor of k2 + k - 42

Answers

Answer:

(k + 7) • (k - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Final result :

 (k + 7) • (k - 6)

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "k2"   was replaced by   "k^2".

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  k2+k-42

The first term is,  k2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +k  its coefficient is  1 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -42

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -42 = -42

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -42  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .

     -42    +    1    =    -41

     -21    +    2    =    -19

     -14    +    3    =    -11

     -7    +    6    =    -1

     -6    +    7    =    1    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -6  and  7

                    k2 - 6k + 7k - 42

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   k • (k-6)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   7 • (k-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (k+7)  •  (k-6)

            Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

 (k + 7) • (k - 6)

The amount of time a certain brand of light bulb lasts is normally distributed with a mean of 1400 hours and a standard deviation of 75 hours. What is the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1380 hours, to the nearest thousandth?

Answers

Answer:

0.394 = 39.4% probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1380 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 1400, \sigma = 75[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1380 hours, to the nearest thousandth?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1380. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1380 - 1400}{75}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.27[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.27[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.394

0.394 = 39.4% probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1380 hours

Park. The group started with 98 pounds and returned with no food.
If the decreasing amount of food each day is modeled by a linear
function, what is the slope of the line?

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line is 14 pounds per day

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The local hiking club went on a 7-day hiking trip to Denali National  Park.

The group started with 98 pounds

We are also given that the decreasing amount of food each day is modeled by a linear  function

On Day 1  amount of food = 98 pounds

Since day 7 was the last day

So, On Day 8 amount of food = 0

So,[tex](x_1,y_1)=(1,98)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2)=(8,0)[/tex]

Slope = Constant Rate of change per unit

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{0-98}{8-1}[/tex]

So, Slope =[tex]\frac{-98}{7}[/tex]

Slope = - 14

Negative sign shows decreasing amount of food each day

Hence the slope of the line is 14 pounds per day

The owner of a bicycle store had a sale on bicycles (two-wheelers) and tricycles (three-wheelers). Each cycle had two pedals. When he counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. When he counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. Explain how you figured out how many tricycles were offered in the sale.

Answers

Let x represent number of bicycles and y represent number of tricycles.

We know that a bicycle has 2 pedals and a tricycle has 32 pedals as well.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+2y=50...(1)[/tex]

[tex]2x=50-2y...(1)[/tex]

We know that a bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+3y=64...(2)[/tex]

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

[tex]50-2y+3y=64[/tex]

[tex]50+y=64[/tex]

[tex]50-50+y=64-50[/tex]

[tex]y=14[/tex]

Therefore, 14 tricycles were offered in the sale.

A researcher developing scanners to search for hidden weapons at airports has failed to conclude that a new scanner is significantly better than the current scanner. He made his decision based on a test using alpha equals 0.025 . Would he have made the same decision at alpha equals 0.10 question mark How about alpha equals 0.01 question mark Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, he would take the same decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consequently, because the decision is taken on the test based on the use of alpha equals 0.025, the p-value of the test must have been greater than the given amount of importance that is 0.025 since the test is not applicable to us. So, p > 0.025.

If we know that p > 0.025, that would not mean p > 0.1 as well, because we do not know with the details given he had to make the same decision for 0.1 degree of meaning.

As for the 0.01 significance point, we 're sure p > 0.01 is greater than 0.025, so the test does not matter.

The lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy length with a standard deviation of 17 days. About what percentage of births would be expected to occur within 51 days of the mean pregnancy​ length?

Answers

Answer:

About 99.7% of births would be expected to occur within 51 days of the mean pregnancy​ length

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Standard deviation = 17.

About what percentage of births would be expected to occur within 51 days of the mean pregnancy​ length?

51/17 = 3.

So, within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

About 99.7% of births would be expected to occur within 51 days of the mean pregnancy​ length
