Answer:

i) There are 40320 possible orders

ii) There are 336 possible orders for the first 3 positions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of finalists = 8

The number of boys = 3

The number of girls = 5

To find the number of sample point the sample space S for the number of possible orders, we need to find factorial of 8!

The number of possible orders = 8!

= 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8

= 40320

ii) From all 8 finalist, we need to choose first 3 position. Here the order is important. So we use permutation.

nPr =\frac{n!}{(n - r)!}

Here n = 8 and r = 3

Plug in n =8 and r = 3 in the above formula, we get

8P3 = \frac{8!}{(8 - 3)!}

= \frac{8!}{5!} \\= \frac{1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8}{1.2.3.4.5}

= 6.7.8

= 336

So there are 336 possible orders for the first 3 positions.

harkovskaia [24]
I'll just show you how to make a frequency table using the above data. 
We will group the data into class intervals and determine the frequency of the group.

<span>8 12 25 32 45 50 62 73 80 99 4 18 9 39 36 67 33
</span>
smallest data value = 4
highest data value = 99
difference = 99 - 4 = 95
number of data = 17

Let us assign a class interval of 20.

Class Interval     Tally                              Frequency
0-20                    8, 12, 4, 18, 9,                     5
21-40                25, 32, 39, 36, 33                 5 
41-60                45, 50, 67                              3
61-80                62, 73, 80                              3
81-100              99                                           1

That is how a frequency table look like. Usually, under the Tally column, tick marks are written instead of the numbers but for easier monitoring, I used the numbers in the data set.

Answer How many liters of a 20% acid solution should be mixed with 30 liters of 50% acid solution in order to obtain a 40% solution. ... x=15 liters 15*(.20 pure acid)=3 liters 30*(.50 pure acid)=15 liters That is 18 liters pure acid That is 45 liters solution *0.45 pure acid=18 liters.

As more pure acid is added, the concentration of acid approaches 0.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

0.75 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a 25-ft ladder is leaning against a wall. We can see from the attachment that ladder forms a right triangle with respect to wall and ground.

So we can set a Pythagoras theorem as:

x^2+y^2=25^2

x^2+y^2=625

Now, we need to find the derivative of above equation with respect to time.

2x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+2y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0

Since the adder is moving toward the wall at a rate of 1 ft/sec for 5 sec, so x after 5 seconds would be: 20-1(5)=20-5=15

Let us solve for y using Pythagoras theorem.

y^2+15^2=25^2

y^2+225=625

y^2=625-225

y^2=400

Take positive square root:

\sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{400}

y=20

Upon substituting our given values in derivative equation, we will get:

2x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+2y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0

2(15)\cdot(-1)+2(20)\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0

-30+40\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0

40\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=30

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{30}{40}

\frac{dy}{dt}=0.75

Therefore, the ladder is moving up at a rate of 0.75 feet per second.
