Your field experience instructor wants to line up 7 cars for transportation to a grade school. Between you and your classmates, there are 29 cars available. How many different groups of 7 cars are possible? different groups

1560780 selections

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cars = 29

Selection = 7

Required

Possible number of selections

The interpretation of the question is that, in how many ways can 7 cars be selected from 29.

This is done using combination formula as follows:.

Where

So, the formula becomes:

Hence, the number of ways is 1560780

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
