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 sum of the first 6 terms of a geometric series is
jekas [21]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here r = 5 and a has to be found, thus

S_{6} = \frac{a(5^6-1)}{5-1}, so

\frac{a(15625-1)}{4} = 15624

Multiply both sides by 4

15624a = 62496 ( divide both sides by 15624

a = 4

Answer:

12 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We  can use proportions to solve

6           x

---- = -------

10        10+10

Using cross products

6 ( 10+10) = x*10

6*20 = 10x

120 = 10x

Divide by 10

120/10 = x

12 =x
