(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

Rama09 [41]
<span>This is a simple subtraction question. To find the answer, you simple need to subtract 15 from 104. This equals 89, so there were 89 4th graders at school that day in total. In the instance you're unsure that a subtraction equation is right, you can also add your answers back together to double check, so 89 + 15 = 104.</span>

Bonita is testing prototype model rocket engines. To be considered a successful launch, the rocket must reach a height of at lea
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

(0, 33)   : Yes

(4.8,  30.5)  : Yes


Step-by-step explanation:

height of at least 24 ft :  y >= 24

horizontal distance of no more than 10 ft. : 0 <= x <= 10

The vertical height must be at least three times as high as the horizontal distance. No rocket should go higher than 33 ft.:

y >=  3x and y <= 33

So Constraints:

24 <= y <= 33

y >= 3x

0 <= x <= 10

Now check to see if those coordinate points meet all the constraints

(0, 33)   : Yes

(4.8, 30.5)  : Yes

(9, 26)  : No (because 26 is less than (3 * 9) = 27)

(4, 36) : No (because 36 > 33,  must be 24 <= y <= 33)

(2, 22): No (because 22 <24,  must be 24 <= y <= 33)
