The Sorry State Lottery requires you to select five different numbers from 0 through 42. (Order is not important.) You are a Big

Winner if the five numbers you select agree with those in the drawing, and you are a Small-Fry Winner if four of your five numbers agree with those in the drawing. (Enter your answers as exact answers.) What is the probability of being a Big Winner?

Answer:

1 / 962598

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the sample space

total number of possible outcomes = n(S)

Let E be the event

total number of favorable outcomes = n(E)

Compute the number of ways to select 5 numbers from 0 through 42:

Total numbers to choose from = 43

So

Total number of ways to select 5 numbers from 43

= n(S) = 43C5                                                                        

= 43! / 5! ( 43-5)!                                                                      

=  43! / 5! 38!                                                                      

= 43*42*41*40*39*38! / (5*4*3*2*1)*38!

= 115511760/120

n(S) = 962598

Hence there are 962598 ways to select 5 numbers from 43

Compute the probability of being a Big Winner

In order to be a Big  Winner all 5 of the 5 winning balls are to be chosen and there is only one way you can for this event to occur. So

n(E) = 1

Here E is to be a Big Winner

So probability of being a Big Winner = P(E)

= n(E) / n(S)

= 1 / 962598

Hence

P(being a Big Winner) = P(E) = 1 / 962598

What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose vertices are (2,7) (8,7) (211) (8,11)?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

e) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment lengths:

|(2, 7) -> (8, 7)| = |(8-2, 7-7)| = |(6, 0)| = 6

|(8, 7) -? (8, 11)| = |(8-8, 11-7)| = |(0, 4)| = 4

because we know it's a rectangle, we can infer that the other two sides also have lengths 4 and 6, so the perimeter is 4+4+6+6=20

Estimate 23,945 + 46,718 by rounding to the highest place value.
kolbaska11 [484]
The highest place value is in the ten thousand for both of these numbers. Let's round the two numbers first, and then we will add them. Let's round 23,945. So, we need to round to the ten thousand place, so we look at the number behind it (3) and act accordingly.
Remember:
5 or more? Raise the Score
4 or less? Let it Rest
We are looking at the bolded number: 23,945. This number is 4 or less, so we let it rest. So, the new rounded number is 20,000. 
Now let's look at 46,718. So, we need to round to the ten thousand place, so we look at the number behind it (6) and act accordingly. Look at the bolded number: 46,718. This number is 5 or more, so we raise the score. The new rounded number becomes 50,000.
Now, all you have to do is add 20,000+50,000, which is 70,000. Hope this helped!

Translate to a proportion and solve.<br> 148.5 is 59 1/5% of​ what?
lesantik [10]

The actual value is 250.84 .

Formula

Percentage calculation =(given value/total value)*100

let the actual value is "x"

percentage we known is 59 1/5% (59.2%) and 59.2% of x is 148.5.

for the percentage,

x*59.2% =148.5

x*59.2/100=148.5

x=(148.5/59.2)*100

x=(2.5084)*100

x=250.84

The actual value is 250.84 .
