C. Determining the top three winners in a your party Science Quiz Bee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutations and combinations:

In permutation, the order in which the elements are chosen matters, for example AB is a different outcome than BA, while for combinations it does not matter, that is, AB and BA is the same outcome.

A. Choosing three of your classmates to attend

Order in which they are chosen is not important, so its combinations.

B. Picking six balls from a basket of 12 balls

Order in which they are chosen is not important, so its combinations.

C. Determining the top three winners in a your party Science Quiz Bee

Top is the key-word, as it implies that the participants are ranked, so the order is important, that is John, Laura, Chanel means that John finished first, Laura second and Chanel third, while Laura, John Chanel means that Laura finished first, and thus the correct answer is given by option C.

D. Drawing a set of six numbers in a lottery

Order in which they are chosen is not important, so its combinations.

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )
