Solutions

Expert Solution

n C x = n! / x!(n - x)!

n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) .... and so on .

n = 17 and x = 7

17 C 7 = 17! / 7!(17 - 7)! = 17! / 7!(10)! = 19448

An island has 2 reefs that are suitable for fishing and 20 fishermen. Each fisherman can fish on only one reef. The current institution is that a fisherman gets to keep the average number of fish caught from the reef on which he chose to fish. On reef 1 the total number of fish caught is given by F1(R1) = 12R1 − (R1)2/2, where R1 is the number of fishermen on reef 1. For reef 2 the relationship is F2(R2)...
