Answer: Our required probability is 0.044.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of customers who have entered the drawing = 17

Number of customers live in the town of Gaston = 5

Number of customers live in Pike = 4

Number of customers live in Wells = 8

The first customer will be selected and then second customer will be selected from the remaining .

Probability of getting first customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{4}{17}

Probability of getting second customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{3}{16}

So, the probability that both customers selected are Pike residents are

\dfrac{4}{17}\times \dfrac{3}{16}\\\\=0.044

Hence, our required probability is 0.044.

1. A. 550 meters.
this is because 2.5 km = 2500 meters, since there are 1000 meters in one kilometer.
therefore, 2500 - 1950 = 550 meters.
2. B. 126 inches.
this is because there are 12 inches in one foot, so we multiply 12 by 10 since there are 10 full feet. this leaves us with 120. then, we add half a foot, which is 6 inches. therefore, it is 126 :)

VikaD [51]

take x =initial deposit amount. then make equation:

x+75.5+55.25-25.15-18.65 = 210.85

simplify:

x+86.95 = 210.85

x=210.85 - 86.95

x=123.90

so Initial deposit amount is $123.90

check:  210.85+18.65+25.15-55.25-75.5 = 123.9

123.9 = 123.9
