If each of the five members in a basketball team shakes hands with every other members of the team before the game starts,how many handshakes will there be in all?
Please don't answer questions if you don't know what you area talking about
the range
= the largest - the smallest
= 90 - 70
= 20
What is the range of the following:86,70,83,90,85,78,79,81,87?
The range is when you add up all of the points and then divide by how many points you had. (86+70+83+90+85+78+79+81+87)/9= 82
To find the total number of handshakes, we need to calculate how many different pairs can be formed from a group of five members.
One way to approach this is to use the formula for combinations. The combination formula is nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!), where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items selected at a time.
In this case, we have 5 members, and we want to select 2 members at a time to form a handshake. So, n = 5 and r = 2.
Plugging these values into the combination formula, we get:
5C2 = 5! / (2! * (5-2)!)
= 5! / (2! * 3!)
= (5 * 4 * 3!) / (2! * 3!)
= (5 * 4) / 2
= 10
Therefore, there would be a total of 10 handshakes before the game starts.
Do not use your own "reply" to ask a new question.
number of handshakes = C(5,2)
= 10
