A pianist plans to play 5 pieces at a recital from her repertoire of 20 pieces, and is carefully considering which song to play first, second, etc. to create a good flow. How many different recital programs are possible? **Problem Statement:**A pianist plans to play 5 pieces at a recital from her repertoire of 20 pieces, and is carefully considering which song to play first, second, etc. to create a good flow. How many different recital programs are possible?**Solution Explanation:**To solve this problem, consider that the order in which the pieces are played matters. This situation involves permutations since you are arranging 5 pieces out of 20.**Permutations Formula:**The number of permutations of choosing $ r $ items from $ n $ items is given by the formula:\[P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\]**Application to the Problem:**- $ n = 20 $ (total pieces)- $ r = 5 $ (pieces to be played)Using the formula:\[P(20, 5) = \frac{20!}{(20-5)!} = \frac{20!}{15!}\]Calculating this gives:\[= 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16\]\[= 1,860,480\]Therefore, there are **1,860,480** different possible recital programs.

Given: Total number of pieces n = 20 Number of pieces a pianist plans to play r = 5 Formula Used:…

A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10).
