Six members of the gymnastics team are going to have their picture taken. The two gymnasts, who are over 5 foot 5 inches, are going to be in the center with the remaining gymnasts on either side of them. How many different pictures can be taken assuming that the two tallest gymnasts will occupy the same position in all the photos

Total number of ways of arranging the total six positions = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The total members in the team are six.

Six members means six positions. Out of these six positions, two positions are fixed and hence only 4 positions are available for arrangement.

Thus, the total number of ways of arranging the remaining four position are

4 * 4 = 16

Total number of ways of arranging the total six positions are

16 + 2 = 18

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
