The congressional committees on mathematics and computer science are made up of five representatives each, and a congressional rule is that the two committees must be disjoint. If there are 385 members of congress, how many ways could the committees be selected?

The committes can be selected in ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the members are chosen to the committee is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

The two committees must be disjoint.

This means that a person cannot be part of both committes.

If there are 385 members of congress, how many ways could the committees be selected?

Since the committes are disjoint, 5(math) + 5(computer science) = 10 people will be chosen from the set of 385. So

The committes can be selected in ways

false

step-by-step explanation:

the number 100 represents the number of trials in the experiment.

49/100 represents the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up.
