Answer:a) P(8 of the players numbers are drawn)=1.3×10^-8

b) P(7 of the players number are drrawn)=3.33×10^-c) P(at least 6 of the players number were drawn)=1.84×10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Players has 8 combinations of numbers from 1-40. The outcome S contains all the combinations of 8 out of 40

a) P(8 of the players numbers are drawn)= 1/40/8= 1.3×10^-8

There are one in hundred million chances that the draw numbers are precisely the chosen ones.

b) Number of ways of drawing 78 selected numbers from 1-40=8×(40-7)

8×32

P(7 of the players number are drawn)=8×32/40 =3.33×10^-6.

There are approximately 300,000 chances that 7 of the players numbers are chosen

c) P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn)= 32/2×(8/6) ways to draw.

P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn)=P(all 8 chosen are drawn)+P(7 players numbers drawn)+P(6 chosen are drawn) = 1+ 8 x32/40/8 +[8\6 ×32/2]

P(at least 6 players numbers are drawn) = 1.84×10^-4.

There are approximately 5400chances that at least6 of the numbers drawn are chosen by the player.

when you reverse the digits in a certain two-diget number you increase it value by 27. What is the number if the sum of its digi
Fynjy0 [20]
The number is = 10x+y
if reverse the digits, the number is: 10y+x
The sum fo its digits is =  x+y=5
I suggest this system of equations:
(10y+x)-(10x+y)=27    ⇒9y-9x=27
x+y=5
We can solve this system of equations by equaliztion method
x=5-y

9y-9(5-y)=27
9y-45+9y=27
18y=27+45
18y=72
y=72/18
y=4

x=5-y
x=5-4=1

The number is: 10x+y=10(1)+4=14

Answer: the number is 14
