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

What is the first step in solving the quadratic equation -5x^2+8=133?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) subtracting '8' on both sides, we get

                                      - 5 x² + 8-8 = 133-8

                                        - 5 x²  = 125

b) The solution is x = 5 i

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Explanation</em>:-

<u><em>Step (i):</em></u>-

Given quadratic equation  - 5 x² + 8 = 133

subtracting '8' on both sides, we get

                                      - 5 x² + 8-8 = 133-8

                                       - 5 x²  = 125

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

dividing '-5' on both sides, we get

          \frac{-5 x^2}{-5} = \frac{125}{-5}

            x²  = -25

            x = \sqrt{-25}

            x = 5 i
