In the first slot lets calculate the chance of getting a w: 1/5

In the second slot calculate the chance of getting a o: 1/4 (notice how it's 4 not 5 because you already have one letter in the first slot so you have 4 left to choose from.)

In third slot, chance of getting a r: 1/3

In fourth slot, chance of getting a l: 1/2

In the fifth slot, if you got all the first four letters right, than you would be left with one letter, so your chances are 1/1 (100%) for the fifth slot



To calculate probability multiply all the fractions we got above: 1/5 x 1/4 x 1/3 x 1/2 x 1/1

We will then get: 1/(5x4x3x2x1) = 1/120

1/120 is the probability of the 5 slots showing the word "world"

Please answer question plz!!!!!
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

V = 214.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have to be a little careful with this question. The temptation is just to take the difference of the heights. That is not correct. The difference has to be multiplied by the base to get the volume.

Formula

V = (h1 - h2)* Base

Givens

h1 = 32.9

h2 = 29.1

Base = 56.4

Solution

V = 56.4 ( 32.9 - 29.2)

V = 56.4 * 3.8

V = 214.32

Which of these ordered triples indicates where the plane cuts the x-axis for this equation? 3x + 4y + 6z = 12
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 3x + 4y + 6z = 12

We have to find ordered triplet which indicate where the plane cuts the x-axis.

To find x-coordinate where plane cuts the x-axis we put y and z equal to 0.

3x + 4 × 0 + 6 × 0 = 12

3x + 0 + 0 = 12

3x = 12

x = 4

So, the coordinate where  it cuts x-axis is ( 4 , 0 , 0 )

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Pls help ;-;
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A closed circle means inclusive, and -2 is included in values that would make the equation true. Then you just have to test another number greater than and less than -2 to see which way the arrow should point.

-3(-3) + 1 < 7

9 + 1 < 7

10 < 7 FALSE

-3(0) + 1 < 7

1 < 7 TRUE

All values (including -2) will make this equation true
