Answer:

1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five digit serial numbers, since all letters and all numbers could be used, then we can use 26 letters (A,B,C,...Z) and 10 numbers (0,1,2,...9).

Now, say the letters and numbers are to occupy the labeled spaces below

_  _  _  _  _

1   2  3  4  5

(NOTE: Spaces 1,2,3 are to be occupied by any of the 26 letter while spaces 4 and 5 are to be occupied by any of the 10 numbers)

For space 1, there are 26 possibilities

For space 2, there will be (26 -1 ) 25 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 3, there will be (26-2) 24 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 4, we have 10 possibilities

and for space 5, we (10-1) 9 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

Therefore, the number of serial numbers that can be made is

26 × 25 × 24 × 10 × 9 = 1404000

Hence, 1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

OR

Using permutation, nPr = n!/(n-r)!

For the letters,

n is the total number; n = 26

and r is the number of available spaces, r = 3

For the numbers,

n = 10

r = 2

Then, we get

26P3 × 10P2

26!/(26-3)! × 10!/(10-2)!

26!/23! × 10!/8!

15600 × 90 = 1404000

Identify and explain the four steps for solving a problem. Should any other factors be accounted for when solving a problem? Sho
mihalych1998 [28]
Step 1: simplify the equation by using the distributive property where applicable and combining like trems 
Step 2: Collect all the variables on one side by either adding or subtracting.
step 3:Using inverse operations for addition and subtraction can removecontants ,toget the vaiables and constants on opposite sides.
Step 4:Inverse operations, such as multiplying and dividing can be used to eliminate coefficients in front of variables to get the variables by themselves

You have to spend money to make money ! You purchase a mix of newspaper ads and online ads. Each newspaper ad cost $18.50 and ea
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

You buy six newspaper ads & eighteen social media ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change ads into variables to be more easier to calculate :

Let newspaper = x

Let social media = y

Second, make this variables into an equation, given that you purchase a total of 24 ads :

x + y = 24 (first equation)

Next, given that x = $18.50 & y = $26.50 & spent a total of $588 so you can make another equation :

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 (second equation)

Now, solve this simultaneous equation using elimination or substitution (depends on you) :

substitution =>

x + y = 24 ----------(1)

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 ---------(2)

(1)=> y = 24 - x ------(3)

(3)=>(2) 18.5x + 26.5(24-x) = 588

18.5x + 636 - 26.5x = 588

-8x = -48

x = 6

sub x=6 into(3)

(3)=> y = 24 - 6

= 18

newspaper = x

= 6

social media = y

= 18

Make predictions using experimental probability can someone explain this topic please
Gekata [30.6K]

You should multiply the experimental probability by the total number of trials in an actual experiment when making a prediction.

<h3>What is an experimental probability?</h3>

An experimental probability is also referred to as relative frequency or empirical probability and it can be defined as a ratio of the number of outcomes for the occurrence of a specific event to the total number of trials in an actual experiment.

In order to make a prediction by using experimental probability, you should multiply the experimental probability by the total number of trials in an actual experiment.
