Well, I don't know. Let's see . . . . .
First draw: One 'M' available out of 11 letters. Probability of picking it = 1/11.
2nd draw: Four 'I's available out of 10 letters. Probability of picking one = 4/10.
3rd draw: Four 'S's available out of 9 letters. Probability of picking one = 4/9.
4th draw: Three 'S's available out of 8 letters. Probability of picking one = 3/8.
5th draw: Three 'I's available out of 7 letters. Probability of picking one = 3/7.
6th draw: Two 'S's available out of 6 letters. Probability of picking one = 2/6.
7th draw: One 'S' available out of 5 letters. Probability of picking it = 1/5.
8th draw: Two 'I's available out of 4 letters. Probability of picking it = 2/4.
9th draw: Two 'P's available out of 3 letters. Probability of picking one = 2/3.
10th draw: One 'P' available out of 2 letters. Probability of picking it = 1/2.
11th draw: One letter left. It is an 'I'. Probability of picking it = 1 .
Probability of all of those draws in order =
(1/11) x (4/10) x (4/9) x (3/8) x (3/7) x (2/6) x (1/5) x (2/4) x (2/3) x (1/2) x (1) =
1,152 / 39,916,800 =
1 / 34,650 =
0.00002886 =
<em> 0.002886 percent</em> (rounded)
Not a good bet. (But better than the lottery.)
Multiply all of the numbers with each other and then simplify
Answer:
x=
or 15x=-13
Step-by-step explanation:
20x+17=35x+30
20x-35x=30-17
-15x=13
x=
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let the small number be x
Then, the bug number will be: x + 25
Therefore, x + x + 25 = 131
2x + 25 = 131
2x = 131 - 25
2x = 106
x = 106 / 2
x = 53
Small number= 53
Big number = x + 25 = 53 + 25 = 78
2. Let the small number be x
Then, the bug number will be: x + 14
x + x + 14 = 58
2x + 14 = 58
2x = 58 - 14
2x = 44
x = 44/2
x = 22
Small number = 22
Bug number = 22 + 14 = 36
The numbers are 22 and 36.
3. Let number of basketball sold be x
Therefore, number of football sold will be x+3.
Therefore, x + x + 3 = 27
2x + 3 = 27
2x = 27 - 3
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12
12 basketball were sold
Number of footballs sold = 12 + 3 = 15
4. Let calories in bowl of soup x
Hamburger = 2 × x = 2x
Therefore, x + 2x = 738
3x = 738
x = 738/3
x = 246
There are 246 calories in bowl of soup
Calories in hamburgers = 246 × 2 = 492 calories
