Answer:  \dfrac{1}{100,000}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of digits in number system (0 to 9) = 10

The number of digits in a social security number = 9

After last four digits are printed, the number of digits remaining to print = 9-4=5

Since , repetition of digits is allowed, then the total number of ways to print 5 remaining digits is given by :-

10\times10\times10\times10\times10=100,000

Now, the probability of getting the correct Social Security number of the person who was given the​ receipt is given by:-

\dfrac{\text{Number of correct code}}{\text{Total number of codes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{100,000}

swat32

Assuming that each marble can be picked with equal probability, we notice that there is a total of

4+2+5+1+7 = 19

marbles, of which 2 are red.

So, the probability of picking a red marble is

\dfrac{2}{19}

In fact, as in any other case of (finite) equidistribution, we used the formula

P(\text{event}) = \dfrac{\text{number of favourable cases}}{\text{number of all possible cases}}

A ball is released at a height of 8 inches to roll inside a half-cylinder it rolls to a height of 2 inches on the other side of
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C) 1/8 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the explicit formula

a_n=2(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}, where n is the term number.

The third climb up would be the third term; this means we replace n with 3:

a_3=2(\frac{1}{4})^{3-1}\\\\a_3=2(\frac{1}{4})^2=2(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4})=2(\frac{1}{16})=\frac{2}{16}=\frac{1}{8}
