nd the correct key. if she tries one key at a time and discards the keys that don't work, what is the probability that she will open the door with the first key she picks? what is the probability that it will take exactly three attempts to open the door? suppose that the first three attempts to open the door have been unsuccessful. what is the probability that she will pick the right key the fourth time?

Since she has seven key the probability that the first one will open the door is
\frac{1}{7}
if it takes three attempts to open the door,the probability is
\frac{1}{3}
if the three attempts would not work
then the probability that the fourth attempt will open the door is
\frac{1}{4}
hope this helps

The value of y varies directly with x, and y=3 when x=9 find y when x = 21
tester [92]

Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) plug in 3 for y and 9 for x in the direct variation formula, which is y = kx

3 = k(9)

Step 2) Solve for k

3 = k(9) (Divide by 9 on both sides)

3/9 = k (Now simplify 3/9)

1/3 = k. So k = 1/3

*just FYI: “k” is the constant of variation.

Step 3) use the equation y = kx and plug in 1/3 for k

y = 1/3x

Step 4) using the equation y = 1/3x, plug in 21 for x.

y = 1/3(21) (1/3*21 is the same as 21/3)

y = 21/3 (21/3 = 7)

y = 7. So that’s you’re answer! When x=21, y=7 because 7 is 1/3 of 21!

Hope this helps! My best wishes to you as you go through school!

(2^3)^7 (2^-9)^2 how do i put that in exponential form​
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2³ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the laws of exponents, when raising a power to another power, you need to multiply the exponents.  After you multiply each set of exponents by the additional power, then it become a multiplication problem where the base is the same.  When multiplying exponents with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents:  

(2^{3})^{7}*(2^{-9})^{2}=2^{21}*2^{-18}=2^{21+-18}=2^{3}

On a scale drawing, a building is 5.5 tall. If the scale if the drawing is 1 inch: 8 ft, how tall is the building
arsen [322]
First, since the building is 5.5 inches and the scale is 1 inch for 8 feet, you would multiply 5.5* 8 to get 44 feet.
