In the design of an electromechanical product, 12 components are to be stacked into a cylindrical casing in a manner that minimizes the impact of shocks. One end of the casing is designated as the bottom and the other end is the top. a. if all components are different, how many different designs are possible (i think this is just 12!)

b. If seven components are identical to one another, but the other are different, how many different designs are possible? (i think 12!/7! but not sure why)

c. if three components are of one t ype and identical to one another, and four components are of another type and identical to one another, but the others are different, how many different designs are possible? (this one is the one I'm really stuck on)

4. bob solved the inequality problem below incorrectly. explain his error and redo the problem showing the correct answer. ? 2x + 5 < 17 ? 2x + 5-5 < 17-5 -2x/-2 < 12/-2 x < -6

Atechnician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type i and type ii). he believes that the repair cost for type i ovens is greater than the repair cost for type ii ovens. a sample of 6767 type i ovens has a mean repair cost of $79.79$⁢79.79. the population standard deviation for the repair of type i ovens is known to be $19.18$⁢19.18. a sample of 5555 type ii ovens has a mean repair cost of $75.24$⁢75.24. the population standard deviation for the repair of type ii ovens is known to be $21.40$⁢21.40. conduct a hypothesis test of the technician's claim at the 0.050.05 level of significance. let μ1μ1 be the true mean repair cost for type i ovens and μ2μ2 be the true mean repair cost for type ii ovens. step 2 of 4 : compute the value of the test statistic. round your answer to two decimal places.
