Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>

The average person that weighs 150 pounds has approximately 4.5 liters of blood in their body. Based on that same scale, suppose
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

First you find how many pounds for 1 litre of blood. Trick is if you divide x by y, the answer you get will follow the unit of x. So if you divide 150 pounds by 4.5 litres, the answer will be 33.33 pounds per litre. So how many 33.33... is there in 250? Just divide 250 by 33.333 or (150/4.5), you'd get 7.5. That means for there's 7.5 parts of 33.333 pounds in 250 pounds. And if 33.333 pounds is equal to 1 litre of blood, you get 7.5 liter!

What is the area of this figure?
Elanso [62]
First of all we can draw a parallel line to divide the figure into a triangle and a rectangle as shown in the figure. To find the area of our rectangle, remember that the area of a rectangle is length times width, so A_{r} =lw. Since we know for our figure that the length and width of our rectangle are 13cm and 6cm respectively, lets replace those values in our formula to get its area:
A _{r} =(13cm)(6cm)
A=78cm^{2}
Similarly, the area of a triangle is one half times base times height, so At=( \frac{1}{2})bh. Since we know that our base is 8cm and our height 6cm, lets replace those values in our equation to find the area of our triangle:
A_{t} =( \frac{1}{2})(8cm)(6cm)
A_{t} =24cm^{2}

Now the only thing left is add our areas:
 A_{total} =78cm^{2}+24cm^{2}  =102cm^{2}

We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>A. 102</span>

I dont understand how to simplify an expression with exponents
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

3^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying an expression with expression with exponents:

If they are dividing, we keep the base and subtract the exponents. For example:

\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}

In this question:

\frac{3^2}{3^{-2}}=3^{2-(-2)}=3^{2+2}=3^4
