Answer:
a) 504
b) 56
c) 0.111
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag
Three balls are randomly selected without replacement
a) 3-digit numbers that can be formed
= 
n = 9
r = 3
= ⁹P₃
= 
= 9 × 8 × 7
= 504
b) 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1
= _ _ _
in the above 3 blanks first digit is fixed i.e 1
we and we have 8 choices left for the last 2 digits
Thus,
n = 8
r = 2
Therefore,
= 1 × ⁸P₂
= 1 × 
= 1 × 8 × 7
= 56
c) Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200
Now,
The number of 3-digit number formed is less than 200 will be the 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1 i.e part b)
and total 3-digit numbers that can be formed is part a)
therefore,
Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200
= 56 ÷ 504
= 0.111
That's very interesting. I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:
-- 0:
A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 1:
A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).
-- 2:
A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
(it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.
-- 3:
A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .
-- 4:
A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 5:
A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 6:
A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 7:
A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .
-- 8:
A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 9:
A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .
So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits 1, 3, 7, or 9 in its units place.
It CAN't have a 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8 .
The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is 'A' .
Answer:
In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
The integers are 4 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2
Here x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
Now according to the given statement
Sum of both: 
difference of 3 times the larger & 2 times the smaller:
Putting the sum and difference equal:
Solving the equation
The next integer will be:
Hence,
In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
The integers are 4 and 6.
