6!-4!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because remember that each book is different so the amount of books each person have cannot be simply multiplied together.

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

720 than ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

696

OpenStudy (anonymous):

720 is the value of 6!

oh okay i get it .. could you help me with one more? Joey’s sock drawer is unorganized and contains 7 black dress socks, 7 black ankle socks, 6 brown dress socks, and 2 brown ankle socks. What is the probability that Joey will blindly reach into his sock drawer and pull out a sock that is brown or a dress sock? 4 d. A. 15/22 B. 4 C. 3/11 D. 21/22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find the sum of the socks and then find the sum of brown or dress socks and make it so that\[\frac{ brown or dress socks }{ total socks }\]

OpenStudy (erinweeks):
