The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.

This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.

For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....

We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880

Another way to write this is: 9!

A filling machine puts an average of four ounces of coffee in jars, with a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces. forty jars filled
Lunna [17]
Let's attack this problem using the z-score concept.  The sample std. dev. here is (0.25 oz)/sqrt(40), or 0.040.  Thus, the z score representing 3.9 oz. is
        3.9 - 4.0
z = -------------- = -2.5
          0.040 

In one way or another we must find the area under the std. normal curve that lies to the left of z = -2.5.  Use a table of z-scores or a calculator with built-in statistics functions.  According to my TI-83 Plus calculator, that area is

0.006.  One way of interpreting this that with so small a standard deviation, most volumes of coffee put into the jars are very close to the mean, 4 oz.

Which expression has the same value as 37.4 - 54.9?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In the original expression =  37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5

So, we have to solve all the equations but 1 of them has to equal to -17.5

A) -54.9 + (-37.4) = -92.3

   Remove parentheses

   = -54.9 - 37.4

Subtract the numbers

    -92.3

B) 54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5

Since 54.9 is greater than 37.4 just subtract normally

 4   14

  5  4.   9                < ------- Line up the decimal points like this

-  3  7.   4                <---------  Subtract the decimals

-----------------

   1   7   .    5       <---------- This is the final answer to B.                    

 

C)  37.4 - (- 54.9) = 92.3

   Change the sign to addition

        =37.4 + 54.9

  Add the numbers normally

  54.9

+ 37. 4

--------------

  92.3

D)  37.4 + (-54.9) = -17.5

   Change the sign to subtraction

      =    37.4 - 54.9

Subtract them normally (but as you can see you are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number so heres a trick that you can use switch the equation by putting the larger number in first like this....)

54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5 (REMEMBER the answer is not 17.5 because the original equation of D is reversed  37.4 - 54.9 so in this case your answer should be

- 17.5)

37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5

Your final answer is D because it matches 37.4 - 54.9.

Hope this helps!
