Answer:
<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.
Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9
2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,
1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81
3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order. The question was specific about the order.
1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729
<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1st digit is 1 number (1)
2nd digit is (3,4,5) so it's 3 numbers
third digit is (6,7,8,9) is it's 4 numbers
last 7 digits is 10 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
multiply
1*3*4*10=120
so answer is 120 phone numbers

Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
