Answer:

1 light-minute ≈ 1.12×10⁷ miles, three significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light-second is equal to the distance traveled per second by light in space, which is equal to 299,792,458 metres. Other units used are light-day, light-hour and light-minute.

Significant figures are the figures or digits of a number that carry meaning and contribute to the precision of the given number.

1 light-minute = 1.118×10⁷ miles, has four significant figures.

To express this number in three significant figures, the given number is rounded.

<u>1 light-minute = 1.118×10⁷ miles ≈ 1.12×10⁷ miles, has three significant figures, as the non-zero digits are significant.</u>

Answer:

There are 10 counters in the bag and you want the 4

As their is only one for the probability is

1/10

There are now 9 counters left in the bag.

You only want the even ones , which are 2 6 8 and 10 ( four has been taken out)

There are only four even counters in the bag of nine counters so the probability is

4/9

As you want both of these to occur, you need to multiply them

1/10 x 4/9 = 49/90

Sample space = {p, r, o, b, a, b, i, l, I, t, y} = 11 possible outcomes
1sr event: drawing an I ( there are 2 I); P(1st I) = 2/11
2nd event drawing also an i: This is a conditional probability, since one I has already been selected the remaining number of I is now 1, but also the sample space from previously 11 outcome has now 10 outcomes (one letter selected and not replaced)
2nd event : P(also one I) = 1/10
P(selecting one I AND another I) is 2/11 x 1/10

P(selecting one I AND another I) =2/110 = 0.018
