Answer:

a. 720

b. 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Three balls are selected at random without replacement.

First ball can be selected in 10 ways

Second ball can be selected in 9 ways

Third ball can be selected in 8 ways

Thus, there are 10×9×8 =720 different ways of selecting three balls.

b.

There are three cases that satisfy this condition

  1. first ball picked is 5, the others are not
  2. first ball is not 5, second is 5, third is not
  3. first and second ball is not five, third ball is 5

Each probabilities are:

  1. \frac{1}{10} * \frac{9}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}
  2. \frac{9}{10} *\frac{1}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}
  3. \frac{9}{10} *\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{8} =\frac{1}{10}

Thus, one of the balls selected is the number 5 is then \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

When Cullen cleaned behind his dresser, he found 73 cents, all in nickels and pennies. There were 25 coins. How many were nickel
Georgia [21]
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

It is 42 1/2 miles from Eaton to Baxter and 37 4/5 miles from Baxter to Wellington. How far is it from Eaton to Wellington if yo
34kurt
All you need to do is add the miles from Eaton to Baxter and from Baxter to Wellington to get your answer...

42 + 37 = 79 

Now we need to add the fractions 

\frac{1}{2} +  \frac{4}{5} = ...&#10;

To add we need a common denominator. 
2 and 5 can both go into 10, so that will be a our common denominator. 
Now you have... 
\frac{5}{10} + \frac{8}{10} = \frac{14}{10}
which is equal to 1 \frac{2}{5}
add that to the 79 we got earlier ...

The toal and final answer is 80 \frac{2}{5} miles !
Hope I helped and remember to vote this as the brainliest answer ! :)
