Question

Eli chooses two shirts from a group of five to pack for a weekend trip. Let each shirt be represented by A, B, C, D, and E. Which statements about the situation are true?

Answer 1

Answer: A, B, and E.

Explanation:

A is correct: the combination of AB and BA are the same because they both contain the same letters, just a different order.

B is correct: each shirt can be paired with any one of the other remaining shirts because she will be choosing 2 shirts.

E is correct: If he chooses shirt B, there are 4 possible outcomes for choosing the 2nd shirt. This is true because there is only one B in a group of 5 shirts, so 5-1 = 4 possible outcomes.

Hope this helped.

Have a nice day. :)

Answer 2

A, B and E statements are true

Since Eli select two shirts so the second statement is also correct

And, the last statement is also true as he selects shirt B so there are four possible ways to second the second shirt as there are four remaining shirts are left after select one shirt

Hence, A, B and E statements are true
