15c2/7c6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have instructions for this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its use the formula nCr to evlauate the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On your graphing calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would it come out to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean? Did I mess up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hang on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15c2=105 and 7c6=7 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 105/7=15 right? Or maybe I misread your equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\frac{15!}{2!13!}}{\frac{7!}{6! }}=15 \] The cobination of 15 things taken 2 at a time divided by 7 things taken 6 at a time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I typed in 15 and it said wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I posted as soon as something worked out and did not realize that you had posted. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem robtobey. Hang on prettychicka45, I'm thinking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So your problem looks exactly like this: \[15c2/7c6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Meaning 15c2 divided by 7c6 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.K...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still not seeing why 15 is wrong... Thinking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anything else in your instructions? Any other hints?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to type as a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try typing 15/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was 65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, that's not quite making sense...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not even a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any thoughts anyone?
