Answer:

The correct answer are given by (A) \frac{1}{175000} ; (B) \frac{429}{175000}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of entries to the sweepstakes offered by Gemini Paper Products = 175,000.

Total number of prizes to be awarded includes 1 grand prize, 3 first prizes, 25 second prizes and 400 third prizes = 1 + 3 + 25 + 400 = 429.

(A) Required Probability for a person who has put one entry to win the grand prize is given by the fraction \frac{1}{175000}.

(B) Required Probability for a person who has put one entry to win any prize offered is given by \frac{429}{175000}.

Which of the following lists of ordered pairs is a function?
Eduardwww [97]
To find if one is a function, you must see if the pattern is the same.
Domains (x) can not have two values
I forget what the y value is called, but there can be the same y- value for multiple      x - values

A. is not a function, because its ordered pairs are all over the place, and the value 4 in the x - value has two values assigned - 0 and 3, which makes it invalid.

B. may be a linear function. Its ordered pairs aren't jumping all over the place.
Both the x and y go up one for one, so the function could be y = x + 3

C. isn't because the x - value 2 has two values. Again, that makes this invalid.

D.  is invalid because there is two x - values for 2. 

Therefore, the answer is B.

Find the distance between (-3, -11) and (8, -42)
Marianna [84]

Answer:

32.8937 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can imagine this as a right triangle with a length of 11 (THe change of the X's) and the height being 31 (Change of the Y's)

Then we use pythagorean therom to find the hypotenuse (the length)

11^2 + 31^2 = c^2

121+961 = C^2

1082 = c^2

32.8937units
