================================================
Explanation:
I'll be using the formula
[tex]_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}[/tex]
which is the nCr combination formula. We use nCr instead of nPr because the order of coasters doesn't matter. The whole time, the value of n stays fixed at n = 17 which is the total number of coasters to pick from.
While n is constant, the value of r will vary. It ranges from r = 15 to r = 17 inclusive of both endpoints. In other words, r will take on values from the set {15,16,17}. So we have three cases to consider. The r value is how many coasters we select. This is due to the "at least 15" which means "15 or more".
-----------------------
If you ride r = 15 coasters, then we have the following number of combinations
[tex]_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{17!}{15!*(17-15)!}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{17!}{15!*2!}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{17*16*15!}{15!*2!}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{17*16}{2!}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{17*16}{2*1}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = \frac{272}{2}\\\\_{17} C _{15} = 136\\\\[/tex]
There are 136 ways to ride exactly 15 coasters (when selecting from a pool of 17 total). The order doesn't matter.
We'll use this result later, so let x = 136.
-----------------------
If r = 16, then we follow the same steps as above. You should get 17C16 = 17
There are 17 ways to ride 16 coasters where order doesn't matter. Effectively this is the same as saying "there are 17 ways of picking a coaster that you won't ride"
Let y = 17 so we can use it later
-----------------------
Lastly, if r = 17, then nCr = 17C17 = 1 represents one way to ride all 17 coasters where order doesn't matter.
Let z = 1
-----------------------
Add up the values of x, y, and z to get the final answer
x+y+z = 136+17+1 = 154

Suppose customers arrive at a single-server ice cream parlor times 3, 6, 15, and 17. Further suppose that it takes the server 7, 9, 6, and 8 minutes, respectively, to serve the four customers. When does customer 4 leave the shoppe
9514 1404 393
Answer:
time 33
Step-by-step explanation:
The first customer arrives at time 3, and is finished being served at time 3+7 = 10.
The second customer arrives at time 6, so waits until time 10 to be served. The second customer is finished being served at time 10+9 = 19.
The third and fourth customers arrive at times 15 and 17. The third customer waits until time 19 to be served, and is finished being served at time 19+6 = 25.
The fourth customer waits until time 25 to be served, and is finished being served at time 25+8 = 33.
The fourth customer leaves at time 33.
The probability that Bob and Chris go to the movies is 0.35. The probability that Chris goes to the movies is 0.5. What is the probability that Bob goes to the movies given that Chris goes
Answer:
[tex]P(B/C)=0.7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
The probability that Bob and Chris go to the movies [tex]P(BnC)= 0.35.[/tex]
The probability that Chris goes to the movies [tex]P(C)= 0.5[/tex]
Generally the equation for the probability that Bob goes to the movies given that Chris goes P(B/C) is mathematically given by
[tex]P(B/C)=\frac{ P(BnC)}{P(C)}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]P(B/C)=\frac{0.35)}{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]P(B/C)=0.7[/tex]

Suppose a fair six sided die has been relabeled so that the 6 is replaced with another 5,i.e., the sides read 1,2,3,4,5,5. If the die is rolled five times, what is the probability that we roll five distinct values
Answer:
P(rolling five distinct values) = 1/3888
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that I the fair sided dice, 6 is replaced with 5.
Thus,the numbers are now;
1,2,3,4,5,5.
This means a total of 6 possible numbers appearing.
Now, in these 6 numbers there are only 5 distinct numbers since 5 occurs twice.
P(1) = 1/6
P(2) = 1/6
P(3) = 1/6
P(4) = 1/6
P(5) = 2/6
Thus,probability of rolling 5 distinct values = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 2/6 = 1/3888
Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges for each box of seeds. The equation p= -0.5x2 + 36x - 231 models the profit of the fundraiser. What's the smallest amount, in dollars, that you can charge and make a profit of at least $363?
Answer:
The least amount is $75.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p \to profit[/tex]
[tex]x \to amount[/tex]
[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]
Required
The smallest amount to make at least 363
We have:
[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231=p[/tex]
Substitute 363 for p
[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 = 363[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 + 363 = 0[/tex]
[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x + 132 = 0[/tex]
Using quadratic formula, we have:
[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]a = -0.5; b= 36; c = 132[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{36^2 - 4*-0.5*132}}{2*-0.5}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{1560}}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± 39.50}{-1}[/tex]
Split
[tex]x = \frac{-36 + 39.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-36 - 39.50}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{3.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-75.50}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]x = 75.50[/tex] and [tex]x = -3.50[/tex]
The amount can't be negative.
So:
[tex]x = 75.50[/tex]
Hence, the least amount is $75.50

Simplify the fraction.
Answer:
[tex]sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1
And we know that:
[tex]cos(\theta) = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7} }[/tex]
We want to find the value of the sine function evaluated in theta.
If we replace that in the first equation, we get:
[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + cos(\theta)^2 = 1[/tex]
[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{4*\sqrt{2} }{7}) ^2 = 1[/tex]
[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{4^2*\sqrt{2}^2 }{7^2}) = 1[/tex]
[tex]sin(\theta)^2 + (\frac{16*2 }{49}) = 1[/tex]
Now we can just isolate the sine part of that equation, so we get:
[tex]sin(\theta)^2 = - (\frac{16*2 }{49}) + 1 = \frac{-32}{49} + \frac{49}{49} = \frac{-32 + 49}{49} = \frac{17}{49}[/tex]
[tex]sin(\theta) = \sqrt{\frac{17}{49} } = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{\sqrt{49} } = \frac{\sqrt{17} }{7}[/tex]
(We can't simplify the fraction anymore)
A well-conducted opinion poll showed that 48% of voters surveyed favored the reelection of Congressman Porkbarrel. The people who conducted the survey reported that the poll had a margin of error of 3.5%. Which of the following best describes this statement
A. Based on the procedure by which this figure was generated, it is likely that the population proportion is between 44.5% and 51.5%.
B. About 3.5% of the people polled are likely to change their minds about who they will vote foir.
C. Between 44.5% and 51.5% of the voters will vote for Congressman Porkbarrel.
D. About 3.5% ofthe people interviewed refused to answer the question.
E. The probability is .48 that Congressman Porkbarrel will be reelected.
Answer:
A. Based on the procedure by which this figure was generated, it is likely that the population proportion is between 44.5% and 51.5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval:
We build a confidence interval from a sample proportion, to get an estimate of where the population proportion should likely be.
48% of voters surveyed favored the reelection of Congressman Porkbarrel, with a margin of error of 3.5%.
48 - 3.5 = 44.5%.
48 + 3.5 = 51.5%.
Following the concept of a confidence interval, the population proportion is likely to be between 44.5% and 51.5%, and thus, the correct answer is given by option A.
Three coffees and two muffins cost a total of 7 dollars. Two coffees and four muffins cost a total of 8 dollars. What is the individual price for a single coffee and a single muffin?
Answer:
Cost of a coffee = $1.5
Cost of a muffin = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of 3 coffee and 2 muffins = $7
Cost of 2 coffee and 4 muffins = $8
Find:
Cost of each
Computation:
Assume;
Cost of a coffee = a
Cost of a muffin = b
So,
3a + 2b = 7 .......... Eq1
2a + 4b = 8 .......... Eq2
Eq1 x 2
6a + 4b = 14 ......... Eq3
From Eq3 - Eq2
4a = 6
a = 1.5
Cost of a coffee = $1.5
3a + 2b = 7
3(1.5) + 2b = 7
4.5 + 2b = 7
b = 2.5/2
b = 1.25
Cost of a muffin = $1.25
solve the equation

7+2x/3=5
what is x ?
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + 2x/3 = 5
7*3 + 2x = 5*3 ( we multiply by 3 to remove the denominator )
21 + 2x = 15
2x = 15 - 21
2x = -6
x = -6/2
x = -3
Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Times both side by 3
then you get 7+2x=15
then minus 7 from both sides
2x=8
divide by 2
x=4
