Nine new employees, two of whom are married to each other, are to be assigned nine desks that are lined up in a row. If the assignment of employees to desks is made randomly, what is the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a married couple in nonadjacent desks is the total number of probabilities minus the probabilities of having them in adjacent places divide by total number of outcomes

The total possibilities (outcomes) of 9 elements in a row is:

P(₉) = 9!

P(₉) = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₉) = 362880

And the outcomes in which they are adjacent to each other is:

We consider them as one unit them we in this situation have 8 elements

P(₈) = 8!

P(₈) = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₈) = 40320

Then the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks is:

P = P(₉)  -  P(₈) / P(₉)

P =  362880 - 40320 / 362880

P = 322560/ 362880

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

how many words can be formed by using the W,X,Y,Z if repetitions is not allowed?
- 30
- 24
- 18
- 12

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here is a permutation, seeing as each element can only be used once.

We have 4 letters initially, so we can choose any 1 as our first letter. We have 4 choices for our first letter

However, once we choose our first letter, we can't use it anymore, so, for our second letter, we can only choose from the remaining 3 letters.

Furthermore, once we choose our second letter, we can only choose our 3rd letter from the remaining two letters we didn't choose yet.

Finally, our last letter will always be the one we didn't choose the last 3 times. So there is only one choice here.

Going off of this, we have four choices for the 1st letter, three choices for the 2nd letter, two choices for the 3rd letter, and one choice for the 4th letter

The way to calculate how many permutations we have without repetition is using factorials

N!

Where N is the number of elements you have.

In this case, it would be 4!

4! is 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

Which equals 24

If you notice, each number in 4! is the number of options we have for each choice. 4, then 3, and so on

what is the change in each term of the sequence? 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6​

Answers

Begin by studying the pattern.

Notice that the difference between 0.8 and 1 is 0.2.

In other words, 0.8 + 0.2 is 1.

In the same way, 1 + 0.2 is 1.2.

1.2 + 0.2 is 1.4 and 1.4 + 0.2 is 1.6.

So we can see that the difference

between each of the terms is 0.2.

Answer:

+.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term

1 - .8 = .2

Check by subtracting the second term from the third term

1.2 - 1 = .2

The common difference is .2

Jorge’s monthly bill from his Internet service provider was $25. The service provider charges a base rate of $15 per month plus $1 for each hour that the service is used. Find the number of hours that Jorge was charged for that month.

Answers

Answer:

10 hours for the month

Step-by-step explanation:

What you know: The total amount Jorge was charged for the month was $25

The base rate is $15

He gets charged $1 per each hour

Setting it up:

15+1h=25

(the 15 is the base rate, plus the 1 dollar per hour (h) which both add to the total of 25 dollars for the month)

Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to get your variable by itself

1h=10

then divide the 1 on both sides to get h (hours) by itself

h=10

And there's your answer, 10 is the number of hours that Jorge was charged for the month

Hopefully this helped :))

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 - $15 = $10

and its $1 per hour so the answer is 10hrs

2.3 repeating as a fraction​

Answers

23/10 = 2 and 3/10




I hope this helped

Answer:

First, we can write:

x = 2 . ¯ 3

Next, we can multiply each side by  10 giving:

10 x = 23 . ¯ 3

Then we can subtract each side of the first equation from each side of the second equation giving:

10 x − x = 23 .¯ 3 − 2 . ¯ 3

We can now solve for  x  as follows:

10 x − 1 x = ( 23 + 0 . ¯ 3 ) − ( 2 + 0 . ¯ 3 )  ( 10 − 1 ) x = 23 + 0 . ¯ 3 − 2 − 0 . ¯ 3  

9 x = ( 23 -2 ) + ( 0 . ¯ 3 − 0 . ¯ 3 )  

9 x = 21 + 0

9 x = 21

9 x /9 = 21 /9

9 x /9 = 3 × 7 /3 × 3

x = 3 × 7 /3 × 3

x = 7 /3

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for this to be a function there has to be an x and y pair.  You cant have 2 different x values correlate to 1 y value.  The only number not used on the table of value is 0

Therefore the value of x is 0

Answer: B. x = 0

==================================================

Explanation:

The table shows the inputs of -5, -1, x, 1 and 3. Ignore the x for now. The numerical inputs are -5, -1, 1, 3

If we have any input repeat itself with a different paired y value, then we will not have a function.

So if x = -5, then we don't have a function. This is because x = -5 is already paired with y = 4 in the top row. We can't have the input x = -5 lead to y = 0 at the same time. Any input must lead to exactly one output only. So this rules out choice A as a possible answer.

Choice C and choice D are eliminated for similar reasons as well. This leaves choice B. We don't have x = 0 yet, so it is a valid possible input. We can pick any thing we want for x as long as its not already done so in the table.

Gabriel's family is investing $5,000 into two different bonds for college. One bond gave
an interest of 5% per year, and the other 3%. If the combined interest for the year was
$220, how much money was invested in each bond?

Answers

The amount invested in the bond that yields the 5% interest is $3500 while the  amount invested in the bond that yields the 3% interest is $1500

In order to determine the amount invested in each bond, simultaneous equation would be used

From the question, two sets of equations can be derived

0.05x + 0.03y = 220 equation 1

x + y = 5000 equation 2

Where :

x = amount invested in the bond that gives 5% interest

y =  amount invested in the bond that gives 3% interest

Multiply equation 2 by 0.03

0.03x + 0.03y = 150 equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

0.02x = 70

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.02

x = 3500

Substitute for x in equation 2

3500 + y = 5000

Subtract y from both sides of the equation

y = 5000 - 3500

y = 1500

  This cannot be done without additional information about the sort of figure that ABCD is. If these are points on a line segment, we need to know their order. If these are points on a quadrilateral, we need to know its description in more detail.

If these are points ordered ABCD on a line, then AD = 15+10+7 = 32.
