Probability played a role in the rigging of the April 24, 1980, Pennsylvania state lottery. To determine each digit of the three

-digit winning number, each of the numbers 0, 1, 2, , 9 was written on a Ping-Pong ball, the 10 balls were blown into a compartment, and the number selected for the digit was the one on the ball that floats to the top of the machine. To alter the odds, the conspirators injected a liquid into all balls used in the game except those numbered 4 and 6, making it almost certain that the lighter balls would be selected and determine the digits in the winning number. They then proceeded to buy lottery tickets bearing the potential winning numbers. How many potential winning numbers were there (666 was the eventual winner)?

Answer:

8 potential winners ( 444, 446, 644, 464, 466, 646, 664, 666)

Step-by-step explanation:

To alter the odds the balls numbered 4 and 6 werent injected with liquid and hence they will float making it certain for their selection and determination as the winning digits. The potential of the winning numbers are (2)^3=8.

Since 4 and 6 ain't filled with liquid, they would be selected and determine the digits in the winning numbers in 8 ways ( 444, 446, 644, 464, 466, 646, 664, 666). The potential winning number is among them.

PLZ HELP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE<br><br> What is the value of x?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

  x = 98 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector YT divides the triangle into proportional segments:

  VY/VT = KY/KT

Filling in the numbers and multiplying by VT, we have ...

  VY/57 = 68/129.2

  VY = 57·68/129.2 = 30

Then we can find x from ...

  x = VY + YK = 30 +68 = 98 . . . mm

The value of x is 98 mm.

Which property of polynomial addition says that the sum of two polynomials
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The property of polynomial addition that says that the sum of two polynomial is always a polynomial is called closure property of addition or under addition.

Polynomials are closed under addition because when you add polynomials the letters and their exponents do no change, you just add the coefficients of the like terms (those with same letters raised to the same exponents), so the result will be other polynomial of the same kind, except for the terms that cancel (positive with negative) which does not change the fact that the result is still a polynomial.

In mathematics the closure property means that the result of an operation over a kind of "number" will result in a "number" of the same kind.

Need help with math question
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(-7,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

goal: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h)

y^2-8y=4x+12    Rearranged and added 4x and 12 on both sides

y^2-8y+(-8/2)^2=4x+12+(-8/2)^2 complete square time (add same thing on both sides)

y^2-8y+(-4)^2=4x+12+(-4)^2 (simplify inside the squares)

(y-4)^2=4x+12+16  (now write the left hand side as a square)

(y-4)^2=4x+28

(y-4)^2=4(x+7)    factored...

vertex is (-7,4)
