It depends if the 12 spice jars are all different.

If they are:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9 spaces)

12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4

12 possibilities for first one, 11 for second, etc...

How many jars can be in the first place? 
12
In the second place? 
11 (as one is already in the first place)
Third?
10 
and so on. 
For each put in the first place you can choose 11 in the second and 10 in the third and so on. 
Thus the solution is
12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4
or a simpler way to write
12!/3!

Peter has twice as many stickers as Joe. Joe has 40 more stickers than Emily. They have 300 Stickers altogether. How many sticke
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations derived from given info.

  • P=2J
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Use some substitution now.

  • P=2(E+40)
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Substitute first and second equation into third.

  • 2(E+40)+E+40+E=300
  • 2E+80+E+40+E=300
  • 4E+120=300
  • 4E=180
  • E=45

Emily has 45 stickers. But we want to know what Peter has.

Use P=2(E+40)

  • P=2(45+40)
  • P=90+80
  • P=170

Peter has 170 stickers.

On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, negative 5) and (0, negative 4).
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

y ≤ One-thirdx – 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The key hint to know this answer is to understand that the line cuts the y-axis at -4. And, we can know that y is less than or equal to (≤) 1/3x-4 for the shaded area to the RIGHT of the line, telling us that y exists for all values from -4 and under.

A box in a certain supply room contains four 40w, five 60w, and six 75w light-bulbs. suppose that three bulbs are randomly selec
weeeeeb [17]
Situation satisfies the criteria for the use of hypergeometric distribution. Since no replacement is made, binomial distribution is not applicable (probability does not remain constant).

A=number of target wattage bulbs
B=number of non-targeted wattage bulbs
a=number of target wattage bulbs selected
b=number of non-targeted wattage bulbs selected

P(a,b)=C(A,a)*C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)
where C(n,x)=combination of x items chosen from n=n!/(x!(n-x)!)

For all following problems, 
A+B=4+5+6=15
a+b=3 (selected)

(a) Target wattage = 75W
A=6, B=9, a=2, b=1
P(a,b,A,B)
=P(2,1,6,9)
=C(6,2)*C(9,1)/C(15,3)
=15*9/455
=27/91

(b) target wattage = each of the three
Probability = sum of probabilities of choosing 3 40,60,75-watt bulbs
P(3x40W)+P(3x60W)+P(3x75W)
Case    (A,B,a,b)
3x40W (4,11,3,0)
3x60W (5,10,3,0)
3x75W(6,9,3,0)

P(3x40W)+P(3x60W)+P(3x75W)
=C(4,3)*C(11,0)/C(15,3)+C(5,3)*C(10,0)/C(15,3)+C(6,3)*C(9,0)/C(15,3)
=4*1/455+10*1/455+20*1/455
=34/455

Can also be solved by elementary counting, for example, for (a),
P(2x75W)
=C(3,2)*6/15*5/14*9/13
=(3)*6/15*5/14*9/13
=27/91 as before
