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

Which point is a reflection of T(-6.5, 1) across the x-axis and the y-axis?
drek231 [11]
First, start off with the x-axis. -6.5, 1 becomes 6.5, 1. This is because point T is 6.5 to the left of the x-axis line, so our new point would be 6.5 to the right of the x-axis line. Same thing for the y-axis, (6.5, 1) would become (6.5, -1).

which of the statements about the following quadratic equation is true? 6x2 - 8 = 4x2 7x the discriminant is greater than zero,
d1i1m1o1n [39]
6x^2 - 8 = 4x^2 + 7x
6x^2 - 4x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
2x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; where a = 2, b = -7 and c = -8
d = (-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8)
d = 49 + 64
d = 113

the discriminant is greater than zero, so there are two real roots
