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

Answer:

The answer is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 4 cm because the formula for a cone is V=π r^2 h/3, and the formula for a cylinder is V=π r^2 h, and the cone's volume is V≈301.59, and, a cylinder with

r=4 and h=6 is V≈301.59

Therefore the answer is

4 cm

I hope this has satisfied you.

Answer:

Absenteeism significantly increases cost.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The Sensor Dynamics Corporation did a scientific study on the impact of absenteeism on increased costs.

The correlation between the two was found to be 0.7

Correlation:

  • It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
  • A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity
  • A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.
  • Values between 0 and 0.3 tells about a weak positive linear relationship, values between 0.3 and 0.7 shows a moderate positive correlation and a correlation of 0.7 and 1.0 states a strong positive linear relationship.

Thus, we can say that there is a high positive correlation between absenteeism and cost.

Thus, absenteeism significantly increases cost.
