The probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The numbers are given as:

1 to 23

There are five matching numbers

The  probability of getting a match is:

p = 5-k/n where k = 0, 1, 2

While the complement probability is

q = (n - 2)/n

Using the above formulas, the probability of getting from 5 is:

P = 5/23 * 4/22 * 3/21 * 18/20 * 17/19

Evaluate the product

P = 153/33649

Hence, the probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649

A paint mixture was formed by mixing exactly 3 colors of paint. By volume, the mixture was x% blue paint, y% green paint, and z%
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Both statements are sufficient to answer the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The paint mixture has following proportions:

 Total volume of paint = T

 Blue:  x*T / 100

 Green: y*T/100

 Red: z*T/100

Find:

Statement 1: x = y

Statement: z = 60

Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used

Solution:

Statement 1:

- The amount of blue paint used is:

                    1 gallon = x*T / 100

- x = y,

                    1 gallon = y*T / 100

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient

Statement 2:

- The amount of red paint used is:

                    3 gallon = z*T / 100

                    T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons

                    T = R + B + G

                    G = T - R - B

                    G = 5 - 3 - 1

                    G = 1 gallons

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient

Need help please on this one
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:   3/2

==========================================================

Explanation:

Pick any two points on the red line. I'll pick (0,1) and (2,4)

Those coordinates will be plugged into the slope formula below

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 1)/(2 - 0)

m = 3/2

This means we go up 3 and over to the right 2 when traveling along this red line.
