A zealous geologist is sponsoring a contest in which entrants have to guess the age of a shiny rock. He offers these clues: the

age of the rock is formed from the six digits 2, 2, 2, 3, 7, and 9, and the rock's age begins with an odd digit. How many possibilities are there for the rock's age

Answer:

The total number of possibilities are 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 6 digits and 3,7,9 are odd ones.

To Find:

How many possibilities are there for the rock's age

Solution:

Here condition is that number should start with odd digit

so there 3 number only as odd(3,7,9)

So it leaves 3 repeating  numbers i.e.2

So permutation of 5 numbers with 3 odd numbers

So possible arrangement will be

nPr

n=5 ,r=3

So 5P3=5!/3!

And finally for all possibilities as

=3*(5!/3!)

=3*(20)

=60

You are playing a board game with your little sister. Moves are determined by rolling 2 six-sided dice. The red die tells you th
enot [183]

Answer: The probability is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the possible outcomes of each dice:

Red: Forward (4 times), Backward (2 times)

Green : {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}

We want to find the probability of moving backward 2 spaces.

Then we need to find the probability of rolling a "backward" in the red dice, and a 2 in the green dice.

First, the probability of rolling a backward in the red dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes that are "backward", and the total number of outcomes in the dice (there are 2 backwards and 6 outcomes in total), this is:

p1 = 2/6 = 1/3.

And the probability of rolling a 2 in the green dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes with a 2, and the total number of outcomes. (The 2 appears two times, and there are 6 possible outcomes):

p2 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then the probability of moving backwards 2 spaces is:

P = p1*p2 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9.

a chord is drawn 3 cm away from the centre of a circle of radius 5 cm. calculate the length of the chord​
lara [203]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the 3 cm line from the chord to the center of a circle is a leg of a right triangle which perpendicularly bisects the chord into two equal halves

draw the hypotenuse of the right triangle from the center of the circle to the endpoint of the chord. This is a radius measuring 5 cm.

find the missing leg of the right triangle

a^2= c^2- b^2

a^2= 25-9

a^2=16

a=4

this is only the measurement of half the chord. To find the full length of the chord multiply by two

4*2=8 cm

URGENT <br>Perform the indicated operation and simplify the result.
yan [13]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  (2a - 1) / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

         \frac{12a^{2} - 3}{2} (2a + 1)^{-2}  ( \frac{6}{(2a +1)^{-1} } \\

        \frac{3(4a^{2} -1)}{2} \frac{1}{(2z + 1)^{2} } (\frac{2a + 1)}{6}

        \frac{3(2a + 1)(2a- 1) (2a + 1)}{12(2a + 1)(2a + 1)}

        \frac{(2a - 1)}{4}
