Answer:

$20,475\ ways$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u><em>Combinations</em></u> are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter.

To calculate combinations, we will use the formula

$C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

where

n represents the total number of items

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

In this problem

$n=28\\r=4$

substitute

$C(28,4)=\frac{28!}{4!(28-4)!}\\\\C(28,4)=\frac{28!}{4!(24)!}$

simplify

$C(28,4)=\frac{(28)(27)(26)(25)(24!)}{4!(24)!}$

$C(28,4)=\frac{(28)(27)(26)(25)}{(4)(3)(2)(1)}$

$C(28,4)=20,475\ ways$

If this particular arithmetic sequence, a7=34 and a15=74. What is the value of a21

Ilya [14]

This is an arithmetic sequence, meaning, to get the next term, you simply add some value to the current one, namely the "common difference" "d".

now, we know the 17th term is 34, let's go to the 15term then

34 + d
34 + d + d
34 + d + d + d
34 + d + d + d + d
34 + d + d + d + d + d
34 + d + d + d + d + d + d
34 + d + d + d + d + d + d + d
34 + d + d + d + d + d + d + d + d

now, notice, we got to the 15th term, which is 34 + d + d + d + d + d + d + d + d, or namely 34 + 8d, it just so happen we know is 74, therefore,

$\bf 34+8d=74\implies 8d=40\implies d=\cfrac{40}{8}\implies \boxed{d=5}$

ok, now that we know what the common difference is, let's find the first term in the sequence using the 7th term of 34,

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
n=7\\
d=5\\
a_7=34
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_7=a_1+(7-1)5\implies 34=a_1+(7-1)5
\\\\\\
34=a_1+30\implies \boxed{4=a_1}$

and now let's use those 2 found folks, to get the 21st term,

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
d=5\\
n=21
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_{21}=4+(21-1)5\implies a_{21}=4+100\implies a_{21}=104$

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is:

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

given a data set of 33 unique whole number observation,its five number sumary is [16, 29, 40 ,54, 67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-th percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is a value such that p% of the data is less than that value. The quartiles of a data set are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. (The 25th percentile is usually called the first quartile, the 50th percentile is usually called the median, and the 75th percentile is usually called the third quartile.)

The formula for finding the location (or position) of the (approximate) pth percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is

L p=(n+1).p/100

For example, in the data set [2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18]

the (approximate) 60th percentile is located at position

L 60=(9+1).60/100=6

that is, the sixth data point (the value 12) is at the (approximate) 60th percentile.(Actually, only 55.6% of the data is below a 12.)

What is $0.8\%$ of $125\%$ of $8128$? Express your answer as a decimal.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct answer is $81.28

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we simply treat the word of as a multiplication symbol.

0.8% of 125% of $8128

Now change the percentages to decimals

0.008 * 1.25 * 8128 = 81.28
