Aeuropean high-speed passenger train is made up of two first-class passenger cars, five second-class cars, and a restaurant car. how many ways can the train be made up?

The train can be made up in a total of ways

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst, lets assume that all cars are distinct. If that is the case, then, since we have a total of 8 cars, we have

- 8 possibilities for the first car

- 7 possibilities for the second car

- 6 possibilities for the third car

and so on.

So we have a total of 8! = 8*7*6*...*3*2*1 possibilities to make a train.

Now lets take into account that 5 of the cars are identical within each other. Then we could make a permutation of those 5 cars and we wouldnt notice. Hence, the order of the 5 cars of second-class doesnt matter and as a result, we should divide 8! by the total of possible permutations of the 5 second class cars, that it, 5!

We also need to divide the result by 2! = 2, because which first class car came first doesnt matter either. Therefore, the train can be made up in a total of ways.

boxplot e is the answer

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!
