Answer:

A. 1, 287 ways

B. 154,440 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We want to choose 5 objects from a total 13, without considering the order in which they are chosen.

The correct way to do this is by using the combination formula since order is not considered;

Thus we have ; 13 C 5 read as 13 combination 5;

Mathematically, n C r is ; n!/(n-r)!r!

Thus, we have ;

13!/(13-8)!8! = 13!/5!8! = 1,287 ways

B. By considering order, we shall be using the permutation formula;

Mathematically n P r = n!/(n-r)!

Read as n permutation r;

Using the numbers involved, we have ; 13 P 5

= 13!/(13-5)! = 13!/8! = 154,440 ways

A rectangular pool 18 meters by 12 meters is surrounded by a walkway of width x
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

x=3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangular pool

A=LW

we have

L=18\ m\\W=12\ m

substitute

A=18(12)=216\ m^2

step 2

Find the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

Let

x ----> the width of the walkway

we have

L=(18+2x)\ m\\W=(12+2x)\ m

substitute

A=(18+2x)(12+2x)

step 3

Find the area of the walkway

To find out the area of the walkway subtract the area of the pool from the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

so

A=(18+2x)(12+2x)-216

step 4

Find the value of x if the area of the walkway equal the area of the pool

so

(18+2x)(12+2x)-216=216

Solve for x

(18+2x)(12+2x)=432\\216+36x+24x+4x^{2}=432\\4x^{2} +60x-216=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=3 meters

Diana sold 336 muffins at the bake sale.Bob sold 287 muffins.Bob estimates that he sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.how did he e
malfutka [58]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287

Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.

By estimation, we get

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290

So,

Difference between them is given by

340-290\\=50

Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.

RSB [31]
You ended without giving the values, so we can't get the exact answer. However, I can tell you steps.

First, you need to find the z-score. Then, look up the z-score on a normal distribution table and you will get the percent.

Let's call your value X. Just plug X into the equation below and you will have your z-score.

(x - 20.5) / 3.5 = z

Now, look up the z-score and you will have your probability.<span />

According to DeMorgan 's theorem, the complement of W · X + Y · Z is W' + X' · Y' + Z'. Yet both functions are 1 for WXYZ = 1110
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The parenthesis need to be kept intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem on the original equation to find the compliment because otherwise it will introduce an error in the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to DeMorgan's Theorem:

(W.X + Y.Z)'

(W.X)' . (Y.Z)'

(W'+X') . (Y' + Z')

Note that it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem.

For the original function:

(W . X + Y . Z)'

= (1 . 1 + 1 . 0)

= (1 + 0) = 1

For the compliment:

(W' + X') . (Y' + Z')

=(1' + 1') . (1' + 0')

=(0 + 0) . (0 + 1)

=0 . 1 = 0

Both functions are not 1 for the same input if we solve while keeping the parenthesis intact because that allows us to solve the operation inside the parenthesis first and then move on to the operator outside it.

Without the parenthesis the compliment equation looks like this:

W' + X' . Y' + Z'

1' + 1' . 1' + 0'

0 + 0 . 0 + 1

Here, the 'AND' operation will be considered first before the 'OR', resulting in 1 as the final answer.

Therefore, it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying DeMorgan's Theorem on the original equation or else it would produce an erroneous result.
