Answer:
Part 1: There are 4.7*10^21 ways to select 40 volunteers in subgroups of 10
Part 2: The research board can be chosen in 32760 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
The number of ways in which we can organized n elements into k groups with size n1, n2,...nk is calculate as:

So, in this case we can form 4 subgroups with 10 participants each one, replacing the values of:
- n by 40 participants
- k by 4 groups
- n1, n2, n3 and n4 by 10 participants of every subgroups
We get:

Part 2:
The number of ways in which we can choose k element for a group of n elements and the order in which they are chose matters is calculate with permutation as:

So in this case there are 4 offices in the research board, those are director, assistant director, quality control analyst and correspondent. Additionally this 4 offices are going to choose from a group of 5 doctors.
Therefore, replacing values of:
- n by 15 doctors
- k by 4 offices
We get:

Based on the given values above, this is how the measurements can be written as a decimal.
Firstly, we need to convert the fractions into decimals first:
a. 1/10 is 0.1
b. 1/100 is 0.01
c. 1/1000 is 0.001
Next, we multiply this to their corresponding numbers given:
a. 9 x 0.1 is 0.9 meter
b. 6 x 0.01 is 0.06 meter
c. 4 x 0.001 is 0.004 meter
Therefore, the measurements of the piece of wood that Marco has are: 0.9, 0.06 and 0.004 meters. Hope this answer helps.
Answer:
- <u><em>Option b. just below 30%</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
Please, see attached the <em>histogram that represents the distribution of acceptance rates (percent accepted) among 25 business schools in 2004. </em>
<em />
The<em> median</em> is the value that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50% of the data.
Since there are 25 business schools, the middle value is the number 13.
The height of each bar is the<em> frequency</em> or number of business school for that acceptace rate:
- The first bar has frequency of 1 school
- The second bar has frequency of 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 1+3=4.
- The third bar has frequency 5 schools: cummulative frequency 4 + 5 = 9.
- The fourth bar has frequency 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 9+3=12.
Then, the 13th value is on the next bar, the fifth bar.
The fifth bar has acceptance rates 25 ≤ rate < 30.
That means that the median acceptance rate is greater than or equal to 25 and less than 30.
Thus, the choice is the option <em>b. just below 30%.</em>
1.78 is the correct answer.
