Answer:

y = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx

4=k(20)

k= $\frac{1}{5}$

When x = 9:

$y=\frac{1}{5} x=\frac{1}{5} (9)\\y=(\frac{9}{5}) = 1.8$

A lock consist of 4 dials where each dial has 6 letters what is the probability of guessing the right combination in one try’s

VARVARA [1.3K]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of guessing the right combination in one try’s is of $\frac{1}{1296}$ .

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, there are 4 dials, each with a $\frac{1}{6}$ probability of getting it correct, hence the probability of getting the right combination is given by:

$p = \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{1296}$ .
