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.

The answer is D because side 3 is to far from side 1 and side 2 because you cant make a triangle out of those measurements
Here's a tip
if the sum of side 1 and side 2 are greater than side 3 then it forms a triangle

Hello!

Reading these types of graphs can be difficult, but it displays the following numbers:

27, 30, 31, 43, 45, 49, 51, 58, 62, 64

To find mean, or average, you need to add up all of the numbers and divide by how many there are (10)

This will give you 46.

I hope this helps you and good luck!

On a Sunday night, there are four people on a bus. The bus has five stops left before it end sits route. Suppose each person wil
allochka39001 [22]

There are two possible outcomes of this experiment either success p or failure q. It has a given number of trials and all trials are independent therefore it is<u><em> binomial probability distribution.</em></u>

1-  5 ways

2- 5/16

3- 1/16

4- 1/16

In the question given above n= 5 p =1/2 q= 1/2  r is the given point.

  1. <u>Part 1:</u>

The number of ways in which different people get off the bus can be calculated using combinations since the order is not essential. Therefore

nCr= 5C4= 5 ways

<u>2. Part 2:</u>

The probability that all four people get off the bus on the first stop is given by :

P (x= 1)= 5C1 (1/2)^0(1/2)^4= 5(1/2)^4= 5/16

<u>3. Part 3:-</u> The probability that all four people get off the bus on the same stop.

P (x= x)= 5C5 (1/2)^0(1/2)^4= 1(1/2)^4= 1/16

<u>4. Part 4-</u> The probability that <u><em>exactly three of the four</em></u> people get off the bus on the same stop.

P (x= x)= 5C5 (1/2)^3(1/2)^1= 1(1/2)^4= 1/16
