Answer:

Andrew has 9 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining what our unknowns are and how to name them:

For the number of cars Andrew has: let's use the letter A

For the number of cars Luke has: let's use the letter L

Not write the first sentence in mathematical terms:

"Luke has 4 more than triples the number of cars that Andrew has."

L = 3 * A + 4

The second phrase results on a very simple equation since it just states the number of cars that Luke has:

L = 31

Now we can combine these two equations by replacing the variable "L" in the first equation with the second equation and then solve for A:

L = 3 * A + 4

31 = 3 * A +4

31 - 4 = 3 * A

27 = 3 * A

A = 27/3

A = 9

Therefore, Andrew has 9 cars.

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
