Can someone please help me...please? How many ways can 6 students be arranged in a lunch line? A family has a bike rack that fits 7 bikes but they only have 5 bikes. How many ways can the bikes fit in the bike rack? How many 4-digit pin numbers are available if no number is repeated?
helllpp mee please!!!!!!
lunch line: 6! = 720
thhaaaannnnkkk yoooouuuuu ,and also the other problems... and could you possibly explain to me plz? (i'll give u a meeedddaaalll?????????) >:D
it's the formula such that having x to arranged, then we have x factorial (x!) so if it's 10 students then 10!. 20 will be 20!, and so on
pin number we have 10 digits number 0-9 so we can choose the first number from 10 numbers then we choose the 2nd number from 9 numbers (since no number repeated) then we choose the 3rd number from 8 numbers then we choose the last number from 7 numbers left finally we have: 10*9*8*7 = 5040
we the numbers is allowed to be repeated, then we have 10 ways to choose each number, and so: 10*10*10*10 = 10^4 = 10000
wait... r u talking about the bike one?
no the pin number
oh... so then the real answer's suppose to be 10000... rite?
no the answer for your pin number is 5040 the 10000 is the insight idea
oh i get it now.. so If the numbers can be repeated, dat means dat dere are 10,000 possiblities, correct?
yes
so then wut about the biking one?
do you know about permutation?
ya
is it 7*6*5*4*3=2520?
yes, the same result if you apply 7P5 = 7!/(7-5)!
oh, okay then and thank you but i also haf 2 more questions if u don't mind: How many ways can you select 3 sheriff deputies from 8 candidates? How many handshakes can occur between 5 people if everyone shakes hands? And can u also explain each one? i would be grateful and thank you! :D
deputies candidate: having 3 choosing from 8 so it's 8C3 = 8!/[3!*(8-3)! = 112
i'm sorry, i can't understand all dat... stuff
you need to choose 3 people from 8 candidates and 8C3 is the formula, the same formula with permutation
how did u get 112?
8C3 = 8!/[3!*(8-3)! = 8!/[3!*5! = (8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) / [(3*2*1)*(5*4*3*2*1)] = 8*7*6 / 3*2 = 8*7 = 56, this is the correct answer
oh thank you and good night and then i'll be off.. with my personal stuff....... i'll sorta "contact" you if I'll need anymore help... ;)
ok, good night
waaaaaiiiiitttttt...... you forgot to explain the problem about the handshakes!!!!!
is it 3125? because then it's like 5*5*5*5*5...right?
we need to have 2 people to shake hand. So we need to choose 2 people from 5 people to have the hand shake. so 5C2 = 5!/[2!*(5-2)!] = 5!/(2!*3!) = 5*4*3*2*1 / [(2*1)*(3*2*1)] = 5*4 / 2 = 10
oh never mind i get it then thanks... so its: (5*4)/(2*1)=10 rite?
no answer? fne good night then
