Step-by-step explanation:

"A total of 12 players consisting 6 male and 6 female badminton players are attending a training camp."

"(a) During a morning activity of the camp, these 12 players have to randomly group into six pairs of two players each."

"(i) Find the total number of possible ways that these six pairs can be formed."

The order doesn't matter (AB is the same as BA), so use combinations.

For the first pair, there are ₁₂C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 12.

For the second pair, there are ₁₀C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 10.

So on and so forth. The total number of combinations is:

₁₂C₂ × ₁₀C₂ × ₈C₂ × ₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 66 × 45 × 28 × 15 × 6 × 1

= 7,484,400

"(ii) Find the probability that each pair contains players of the same gender only. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."

We need to find the number of ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs. Using the same logic as before:

₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 15 × 6 × 1

= 90

There are 90 ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs, which means there's also 90 ways that 6 girls can be grouped into 3 pairs. So the probability is:

90 × 90 / 7,484,400

= 1 / 924

≈ 0.0011

"(b) During an afternoon activity of the camp, 6 players are randomly selected and 6 one-on-one matches with the coach are to be scheduled.

(i) How many different schedules are possible?"

There are ₁₂C₆ ways that 6 players can be selected from 12. From there, each possible schedule has a different order of players, so we need to use permutations.

There are 6 options for the first match. After that, there are 5 options for the second match. Then 4 options for the third match. So on and so forth. So the number of permutations is 6!.

The total number of possible schedules is:

₁₂C₆ × 6!

= 924 × 720

= 665,280

"(ii) Find the probability that the number of selected male players is higher than that of female players given that at most 4 females were selected. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."

If at most 4 girls are selected, that means there's either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 girls.

If 0 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₆ × ₆C₀ = 1 × 1 = 1

If 1 girl is selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₅ × ₆C₁ = 6 × 6 = 36

If 2 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₄ × ₆C₂ = 15 × 15 = 225

If 3 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₃ × ₆C₃ = 20 × 20 = 400

If 4 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₂ × ₆C₄ = 15 × 15 = 225

The probability that there are more boys than girls is:

(1 + 36 + 225) / (1 + 36 + 225 + 400 + 225)

= 262 / 887

≈ 0.2954

Which of the following best describes the memorization technique known as mnemonics?

B. linking information, such as a new vocabulary word, to a mental image that illustrates it in some fashion.

Memorization of the name allows for memorization of the associated idea. Like to remember rainbow colors, you can memorize Roy G. Biv to remember the colors of the rainbow.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

We would advise her to choose Country Route because in this route time consistent between 15 and 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jean lives about 10 miles from the college where she plans to attend a 10-week summer class. There are two main routes she can take to the school, one through the city and one through the countryside.

Jean sets up a randomized experiment where each day she tosses a coin to decide which route to take that day. She records the following data for 5 days of travel on each route.

Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18 (in minutes)

City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16 (in minutes)

Now, we have to decide which route is better for Jean to go to college.

As we can see from the data that the Country route timings is consistent between 15 to 18 minutes which means most of the times she will reach college between these minutes only.

While on the other hand, we can observe that City route timings are very much consistent as it has a low value of 10 minutes and high value of 20 minutes which means Jean can't be sure that at which time she will reach college.

Hence, we would advise her to choose Country route.

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the

lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

$A = s^2$

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

$s = \sqrt{A}$ .

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

$d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}$

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70 sq. in. Find the length of the altitude. 2.8" 7" 14"

algol13

The correct question is
The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70pi sq. in. Find the length of the altitude.

we know that

[surface lateral area]=(2*pi*r)*height
height= [surface lateral area]/(2*pi*r)
surface lateral area=70*pi in²
r=5 in
so
height= [70*pi]/(2*pi*5)------> 7 in

the answer is
7 in
