Respuesta :

1. In how many games does a girl play against a boy?
A: Because there are 5 girls, each will play against 5 boys, so in total is 5*5 = 25 times.

2. 
In how many games does a girl play against another girl?
A: In this case, we only need to calculate how many girl pairs are there among these 5 girls, and it become a combination problem which can solved by 
[tex]C^{2}_{5}=\frac{5*4}{2*1}=10[/tex]

3.The fraction of games "B vs B" should be the number of "B vs B" (which is 10) divide the total number of the games "B vs B" & "G vs G" & "B vs G" (which is 10+10+25=45, see the analysis in 1.A and 2.A), so the fraction should be 10/45=2/9

4.One person will have to play against 9 people at the tournament, and the total number of the games is 45, so the fraction should be 9/45 = 1/5

The total number of games a girl play against a boy is 25, the number of games a girl plays against a boy is 10, the fraction of the games are boy-versus-boy is 2/9, and 1/5 fraction of all games at the tournament Anita plays the game.

What are permutation and combination?

A permutation can be defined as the number of ways a set can be arranged, order matters but in combination, the order does not matter.

We have 5 girls and 5 boys in a chess club:

There are a total of 5×5 games girls play against a boy.

= 5×5

= 25

The number of games a girl play against another.

It is a combination problem so the total number of games:

[tex]= _{5}^{}\textrm{C}_r[/tex]

= 10

A fraction of the games are boy-versus-boy:

The number games boy-versus-boy = 10

The number games "Boy vs Boy" & "Girl vs Girl" & "Boy vs Girl"

= 10+10+25

=  45

So the fraction = 10/45 ⇒ 2/9

If Anita is one of the club members then Anita will have to play against 9 people at the tournament.

Total number of games = 45

Then the fraction = 9/45 ⇒ 1/5

Thus, the total number of games a girl play against a boy is 25, the number of games a girl plays against a boy is 10, the fraction of the games are boy-versus-boy is 2/9, and 1/5 fraction of all games at the tournament Anita play the game.
