If they are in order the highest number for the first car is 7...and the other cars can only have one specific value because of the first, so

(7/10)(1/9)(1/8)=7/720

Okay, I see that they mean the order has to be 1,2,3 instead of all ordered sets like 7,8,9 and 4,5,6 for example...

So if they have to be 1,2,3 then

(1/10)(1/9)(1/8)=1/720

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Hence, the probability that the first 3 cars are in car number order is:

\dfrac{1}{720}

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

A train has 10 cars numbered 1 through 10.

If the cars are coupled randomly, what is the probability that the first 3 cars are in car number order.

The probability of the three cars is independent and we know that when the events A,B and C are independent then

P(A\bigcap B\bigcap C)=P(A)\times P(B)\times P(C)

As, the first car chosen is to be selected among 10 cars.

Hence, the probability is:

P(A)=\dfrac{1}{10}

similarly the second car is to be selected among 9 cars.

Hence,

P(B)=\dfrac{1}{9}

similarly,

P(C)=\dfrac{1}{8}

Hence, the probability that the first 3 cars are in car number order is:

=\dfrac{1}{10}\times \dfrac{1}{9}\times \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{720}

Nadia has £5 to buy pencils and rulers. Pencils are 8p each. Rulers are 30p each. She says “I will buy 15 pencils. Then I will b
guapka [62]

Answer:

Total pencils: 17

Total rulers: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

"I will buy 15 pencils."

15 * 8p = £1.20

15 pencils

"Then I will buy as many rulers as possible."

£5 - £1.20 = £3.80

£3.80/30p = 12 remainder 20p

12 rulers

"With my change, I will buy more pencils.”

20p/8p = 2 remainder 4 p

2 pencils

Total pencils: 17

Total rulers: 15

I need help please help me thanks
Nady [450]

Answer:

1. The y-intercept 8 means you start off with $8. The slope 1/4 means how much money you have to pay for the amount of tickets purchased for carnival games.

2. The y-intercept 2 means the number of chapters you started reading and the slope 5/4 means the number of chapters you read per day.

3. The y-intercept 3 means the inital (start) cost of a muffin delivery and the slope 2 means the cost of each muffin delivery for the number of muffins you ordered.

Number 3 on the slope part might be the other way around if I'm wrong :)

If you rolled two dice what is the probability that you would roll a 4 or a 5
Masja [62]
Hello there! Given that normal dice are numbered 1-6, individually rolling a 4 or a 5 would give a 1/6 probability. That converts to about 17% as a percentage because we can multiply 1 by 100 to get 100/6, then divide 100 by 6 to get 16.6666. When rounding, that gives approximately 17%. However, if we combined probabilities, we would find that rolling a 4 or a 5 collectively gives a 2/6 probability, which is approximately 33% as a decimal.

In terms of individual probabilities, you would be 17% likely to roll one of them. In terms of collectiveness, the likelihood of rolling a 4 or 5 would render 33% on each die. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Liz wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 320 individuals and finds that 176 rent their ho
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: 0.065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 320

The sample proportion of people who rent their home : p=\dfrac{176}{320}=0.55

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Then , Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

The formula to find the margin of error : -

E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.55(1-0.55)}{320}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=0.064799034281\approx0.065

Hence, the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 98% confidence level =0.065
