8 0

Answer:

0.1-0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the number of the elements in the sample space, that is the total number of codes that can be produced.

The first digit is any of {0, 1, 2...,9}, that is 10 possibilities

the second digit is any of the remaining 9, after having picked one.

and so on...

so in total there are 10*9*8*7 = 5040 codes.

a. What is the probability that the lock code will begin with 5?

Lets fix the first number as 5. Then there are 9 possibilities for the second digit, 8 for the third on and 7 for the last digit.

Thus, there are 1*9*8*7=504 codes which start with 5.

P(first digit is five)=

b. What is the probability that the lock code will not contain the number 0?

from the set {0, 1, 2...., } we exclude 0, and we are left with {1, 2, ...9}

from which we can form in total 9*8*7*6 codes which do not contain 0.

P(codes without 0)=n(codes without 0)/n(all codes)=(9*8*7*6)/(10*9*8*7)=6/10=0.6

Answer:

0.1 ; 0.6

8 goes into 35 4 times with 3 left over.

8 goes into 30 3 times with 6 left over.

8 goes into 60 7 times with 4 left over.

8 goes into 40 5 times.

Find the area of the shaded portion in the equilateral triangle with sides 6.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Triangle is equilateral with sides of 6.
Therefore all angles = 60°
Ht of 30-60-90 is 3sr3 = 5.196
Area of 30-60-90 = 1/2×b×h = 3×5.196
Area = 15.59
Pie slice from each corner = 60/360×pi×r^2, with r = 3
1/6×pi×9 = 4.71 × 3 pie slices = 14.13
So, shaded inner region = area triangle - 3 pie corners = 15.59-14.13
= 1.46

Ms. Carr's Class Is Selling Magazines To Raise Money For A Field Trip. The Students In The Class Device They Wanted To Make 5.50

FinnZ [79.3K]

Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved)

Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5

Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be:

M=Amount they must raise
C=Cost per magazine
n=Number of magazines
p=profit $5.5 per magazine

C+p=M/n

And rewriting the previous they should make:

n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>

<span>m = 5.5n</span>

#2 only <br> And it's to confusing

ipn [44]

They are easy to compare if they all have the same common denominator, then you can easily order them by the magnitude of the numerators...

85/10, -67/10, -56/10, 82/10 so now they are easy to compare...so

-6.7, -28/5, 8.2, 17/2
