A group of 25 people are going to run a race. The top 8 finishers advance to the finals. Determine the number of possible outcomes.

n[total]=25

n[top finishers]=8

the number of possible outcome

=outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine the number of possible outcomes we can consider Combination given by

where:

so let n and r be 25 and 8 respectively thus

substitute:

simplify parentheses:

rewrite numeratorr:

reduce fraction:

simplify numerator and denominator:

simplify division:

hence,

the number of outcomes is 1081575

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
