Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
Answer:
2.5% and 2.5 · 10^-3, 0.25, 2/5, √5
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25, 2/5, 2.5 · 10^-3, 2.5%, √5
Now let's list them all in the same form, why not decimals.
0.25 = 0.25
2/5 = 4/10 = 40/100 = 0.4
2.5 · 10^-3 = 2.5 · 0.01 = 0.025
2.5% = 0.025
√5 ≅ 2.236
