Answer:

a. 7893600

b.\ \dfrac{1}{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 26 numbers out of which 5 numbers are to be chosen.

Here repetition is not allowed.

For each of the 5 cases, the total number of possibilities will keep on decreasing by 1.

1st case, number of possibilities = 26

2nd case, number of possibilities = 25

3rd case, number of possibilities = 24

4th case, number of possibilities = 23

5th case, number of possibilities = 22

a. Total number of possibilities = 26 \times25 \times24 \times23 \times22 = <em>7893600</em>

b. Probability of winning by choosing one number:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as: P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Number of favorable cases = 1

Total number of cases = 26

So, required probability:

P(E) = \dfrac{1}{26}

So, the answers are:

a. 7893600

b.\ \dfrac{1}{26}

If the measure of the ABC = 40o, which is the measure of arc AC
Assoli18 [71]
With the help of theorems involving circles, assuming that arc ABC is a central angle (meaning both legs of the angle start from the centerpoint), the measure of the inscribed angle is twice that of the central angle. Thus, arc AC is equal to 2*40°= 80°.

The table below shows the surface area y in square inches, of a shrinking puddle in x hours
Kruka [31]
Part A
Correlation coefficient: -.99
This tells us that as time goes on (value of x increases) the area of the puddle goes down (value of y decreases)

Part B
y₂ - y₁
-------   = slope
x₂ - x₁
9 - 15
--------
5 - 8
-6/-3 = 2
So the slope equals -2, regardless of the fact that we got 2 as an answer there, we know that it is a negative slope 

Part C
The data represents causation because an increase in the value of x results in a decrease in the value of y, this shows an example of direct causation between x and y.

Answer:

1062882

Step-by-step explanation:

Seven digits numbers, with repetition of digits, having 6 or 9 at the last one's place :

The first six digits can be filled with 9 options each (numbers 1 to 9) , & the last digit can be filled with 2 options (number 6 & 9)

So, total 7 digit numbers as per given condition = 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 2 = 1062882

If f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x - 3' and `g(x) = (x - 4)(x + 4)", find 'f(x) - g(x).
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)

= 2x² - 4x - 3 - (x - 4)(x + 4) ← expand using FOIL

= 2x² - 4x - 3 - (x² - 16) ← distribute by - 1

= 2x² - 4x - 3 - x² + 16 ← collect like terms

= x² - 4x + 13 → B
