The only contents of a container are 10 disks that are each numbered with a different positive integer from 1 through 10, inclus

First we calculate for the total number of possibilities (permutation) to select 4 disks from the container:

Total number of possibilities = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7

Total number of possibilities = 5040

<span>
Now let us find the 4 disks that will result in a range of 7. </span>

Range = highest number – lowest number

The pair of highest and lowest number that will result in range of 7 is: (1 & 8), (2 & 9), (3 & 10)

 

As a basis of calculation, let us use the pair 1 & 8.

There are four possible ways to select 1 and three for 8.

Arrangements of maximum and minimum pair = 4 * 3

Arrangements of maximum and minimum pair=12

Now we need to calculate for the remaining 2 disk. There are 6 numbers between 1 & 8. The total possibilities for selecting 2 disk from the remaining 6 is:

Possibilities of selecting 2 disk from remaining 6 = 6 * 5

Possibilities of selecting 2 disk from remaining 6 = 30

Therefore, the total possibility to get a range of 7 from a pair of 1 & 8 is:

Total possibility for a pair = 12 * 30

Total possibility for a pair = 360

 

Since there are a total of three pairs (1 & 8), (2 & 9), (3 & 10):

Total possibilities of the 3 pairs = 360 * 3

Total possibilities of the 3 pairs = 1080

 

Therefore:

Probability = Total possibilities of the 3 pairs / Total number of possibilities

<span>Probability = 1080 / 5040 = 3 / 14                      (FINAL ANSWER)</span>

The first table : y=4x
the second table: y=1.5x
the third table: y= 1.25x

if you want help on how to do it: plug each of those equations into the “desmos” graph! from looking at those table points (x,y) you can find which equation matches the table

for instance on table one: I put y=4x into desmos then looked at graph one, I chose the point (2,8) I went to 2 on the x axis and moved my finger up 8 and that point was directly on the line meaning that table matches the equation. be sure to also do the same thing with the other points to double check!

9. Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980
xxTIMURxx [149]

The triangle pay $32 more for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

              Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980

               To insure a construction site for 92 days

               To extend the  insurance beyond the 92 days costs $97 per day

               Triangle extends the insurance by 1 day

Step:1

              Insurance per day from the 92 days period,

                                                                           = \frac{Total insuratio for 92 days}{Period}

               Where, Total insurance for 92 days = $ 5,980

                                                               Period = 92 days

               From the values, equation becomes,

                                                                            =\frac{5980}{92}

                                                                           = $ 65 per day

Step:2

              Insurance per day after the 92 days,

                                                                           = $ 97

               Amount Pay for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time,

                                                                            =(97-65)

                                                                           = $32

Result:

             The triangle pay $32 more for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time, if  the Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980 to insure a construction site for 92 days and to extend the  insurance beyond the 92 days costs $97 per day.
