Answer:
<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.
Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9
2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,
1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81
3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order. The question was specific about the order.
1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729
<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
Answer:
5 days
(the exact number of days below)
Step-by-step explanation:
65/7=9.28571429
9.28571429 sec = 1 dollar
464285.715 seconds=50000 dollars
464285.715 seconds=5.373677256944 days
In short, for a vertical parabola, namely one whose independent variable is on the x-axis, usually is x², if the leading term coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downward, and its peak or vertex is at a maximum, check the picture below at the left-hand-side.
and when the leading term coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, with a minimum, check the picture below at the right-hand-side.

Answer:
16.7% of GMAT scores are 647 or higher
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that 68% of the values are within 1 standard deviation of the mean(34% above, 34% below). It also considers that 50% of the values are above the mean and 50% are below the mean.
In this problem, we have that the mean
is 547 and that the standard deviation
is 100.
a. What percentage of GMAT scores are 647 or higher?
647 is 1 standard deviation above the mean.
So, 50% of the values are below the mean. Those scores are lower than 647.
Also, there is the 34% of the values that are above the mean and are lower than 647.
So, there is a 50% + 34% = 84% percentage of GMAT scores that are 647 or lower.
The sum of the probabilities must be 100
So, the percentage of GMAT scores that are 647 or higher is 100% - 84% = 16%.
