Answer:

a) 504

b) 56

c) 0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag

Three balls are randomly selected without replacement

a) 3-digit numbers that can be formed

= $^nP_r$

n = 9

r = 3

= ⁹P₃

= $\frac{9!}{9!-3!}$

= 9 × 8 × 7

= 504

b) 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1

= _ _ _

in the above 3 blanks first digit is fixed i.e 1

we and we have 8 choices left for the last 2 digits

Thus,

n = 8

r = 2

Therefore,

= 1 × ⁸P₂

= 1 × $\frac{8!}{8!-2!}$

= 1 × 8 × 7

= 56

c) Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

Now,

The number of 3-digit number formed is less than 200 will be the 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1 i.e part b)

and total 3-digit numbers that can be formed is part a)

therefore,

Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

= 56 ÷ 504

= 0.111

Sweets are sold loose, or pre-packed in 120g bags. The 120g bags are ?1.49 each. The loose sweets are ?0.89 for 100g. By calcula

tester [92]

Answer:

The loose sweets at ?0.89 for 100 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the price per gram. You do this by dividing the price by the grams.

?1.49 / 120 g = 1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 (4 dp)

Because the answer was very long, I have rounded it to 4 decimal places (4 dp).

?0.89 / 100 g = 0.89 / 100 = 0.0089

Next, you must calculate both pre-packed and loose sweets to the same weight. I am calculating them both to 100 g.

0.0124 x 100 = 1.24

0.0089 x 100 = 0.89

Finally, the cheapest product for 100 g will be the better value. In this case, it is the loose sweets.

At 8:00 am, here's what we know about two airplanes: Airplane #1 has an elevation of 80870 ft and is decreasing at the rate of 4

wel

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

8 am

airplane #1: x = 80870 ft, v = -450 ft/ min

airplane #2: x = 5000 ft, v = 900ft/min

1.

We must note that the airplanes are moving at a constant speed. The equation for the airplanes is given by:

$\begin{gathered} E=x_1+vt----1 \\ E=x_2+vt----2 \\ where\colon E=elevation,ft;x=InitialElevation,ft; \\ v=velocity,ft\text{/}min;t=time,min \\ x_1=80,870ft,v=-450ft\text{/}min \\ E=80870-450t----1 \\ x_2=5,000ft,v=900ft\text{/}min \\ E=5000+900t----2 \end{gathered}$

2.

We equate equations 1 & 2 to get the time both airlanes will be at the same elevation. We have:

$\begin{gathered} 5000+900t=80870-450t \\ \text{Add 450t to both sides, we have:} \\ 900t+450t+5000=80870-450t+450t \\ 1350t+5000=80870 \\ \text{Subtract 5000 from both sides, we have:} \\ 1350t+5000-5000=80870-5000 \\ 1350t=75870 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1350, we have:} \\ \frac{1350t}{1350}=\frac{75870}{1350} \\ t=56.2min \\ \\ \text{After }56.2\text{ minutes, both airplanes will be at the same elevation} \end{gathered}$

3.

The elevation at that time (when the elevations of the two airplanes are the same) is given by substituting the value of time into equations 1 & 2. We have:

$\begin{gathered} E_1=80870-450t \\ E_1=80870-450(56.2) \\ E_1=80870-25290 \\ E_1=55580ft \\ \\ E_2=5000+900t \\ E_2=5000+900(56.2) \\ E_2=5000+50580 \\ E_2=55580ft \\ \\ \therefore E_1\equiv E_2=55580ft \end{gathered}$

4.) A bag contains 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles. You randomly select 3 marbles from the bag. What is

sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 2/91

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles (15 marbles in total). You randomly select 3 marbles from the bag.

a) You replace each marble before selecting the next one.

The probability of selecting one blue marble is

$\dfrac{5}{15}=\dfrac{1}{3},$

then the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

$\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{27}$

b) You do not replace each marble before selecting the next one. Each time the number of blue marbles decreases by 1 and the total number of marbles decreases by 1 too. So the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

$\dfrac{5}{15}\times \dfrac{4}{14}\times \dfrac{3}{13}=\dfrac{2}{91}$
