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

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle in which side
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

From the below figure it is clear that the vertices of triangle are A(-2,-4), B(2,-1) and C(3,-4).

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using this formula, we get

AB=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(-1-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=5

BC=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}

AC=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{25}=5

Now,

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + AC

                        =5+\sqrt{10}+5

                        =10+\sqrt{10}

So, perimeter of triangle ABC is 10+\sqrt{10} units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Graph an inequality on a number line: 15&gt;m
barxatty [35]

When the sign is ≤ or ≥ ("less/greater than <u>or equal to</u>"), the dot if filled in.

When the sign is < or >, the dot is not filled in/open circle.


15 > m

[15 is greater than m, or m is less than 15]

Since m is less than 15, the arrow is going to the left (the numbers to the left are less than 15)

Area of a rectangle = length x width

3/4 x 5/12 = 15/48
15/48 = 5/16
The area of Kurt's maze is 5/16 square feet.
