Answer:

0.14% probability of a person guessing the right​ combination

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the numbers are selected is important. For example, 1,3,2 is a different combination than 3,1,2. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

One right combination, so P = 1

Total outcomes:

10 numbers from a set of 3. So

P_{(10,3)} = \frac{10!}{(10-3)!} = 720

What is the probability of a person guessing the right​ combination?

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{720} = 0.0014

0.14% probability of a person guessing the right​ combination

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

m < -\frac{18}{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

8m + 95 < -87m + 5

8m + 87m < 5 - 95

95m < -90

m < -<u>\frac{90}{95}</u>

Simplifying gives;

m < -\frac{18}{19}
