Answer: Probability that at least two of the triplets will win a medal is19/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cmpetitors=9

Total number of selecting 3 winners out of 9 competitors=9C3=84

Number of ways of selecting 2 out of 3 triplets=3C2

Number of selecting 1 out of 6 others =6C1

Number of selecting 2 out of 3 triplet and o1 out of 6 others= 3C2 ×6C1=18

Number of selecting 3 out of 3 triplets=3C3=1

Total ways of selecting less than 2 or 2 triplets= 18+1=19

Probability that at least 2 of the triplets will win is 19/84

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement. 17.2 is 17.2 units to the ____ of zero on a number line. T
Fudgin [204]
Hello!

The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.

With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.

The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.

I hope this helps!
