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"

Answer:

y=1/2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

By the least steep graph, it means the "smallest" slope. The smaller the slope is, the less steep it'd be. The slope can be positive or negative, too.

1/4x<-1/2x<2x<-6x

Therefore, y=1/2x+9 would be the equation with the least steep graph.

I hope this helped! Have a good day!

Harman [31]
<span>Box plots give the five number summary of the data set. The whiskers indicate the minimum daily travel time, which is 11 minutes, and the maximum daily travel time, which is 45 minutes. These values are not outliers because they are connected to the box with whiskers. Meanwhile, the box indicates that the first quartile of the data set is 16, the median is 28, and the third quartile is 36.</span>
