Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller the number, the lesser the chance of it happening.

The probability of 1 means that it will definitely occur and the probability of 0 means it will not occur.

Let's convert all of them to decimals.

Option A ➣ 0.4

Option B ➣ 0.16667 (5 s.f.)

Option C ➣ 0.66667 (5 s.f.)

Hence the smallest number here is ⅙ so it's the least likely to occur. Thus, the answer is B.

Answer:

B.) Probability of 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the options is least likely to occur, first convert all of them to the same form (fractions, decimals, percentages, etc.). Since 2 are already in fraction form, let's convert the other one to fraction form as well.

0.4 = 4/10

4/10 = 2/5

Now, the probabilities are 2/5, 1/6, and 2/3. Since 1/6 is the smallest number out of the three, that option is correct; a probability of 2/3 the least likely to occur.

Help please, 30 points reward, i literally have no clue

The explanation for this is one of my favorite pieces of mathematical reasoning. First, let's thing about distance; what's the shortest distance between two points? <em>A straight line</em>. If we just drew a straight line between A and B, though, we'd be missing a crucial element of the original problem: we also need to pass through a point on the line (the "river"). Here's where the mathemagic comes in.

If we take the point B and <em>reflect it over the line</em>, creating the point B' (see picture 1), we can draw a line straight from A to B' that passes through a point on the line. Notice the symmetry here; the distance from the intersection point to B' is<em> the same as its distance to B</em>. So, if we reflect that segment back up, we'll have a path to B, and because it came from of the line segment AB', we know that it's <em>the shortest possible distance that includes a point on the line</em>.

If we apply this same process to our picture, we see that the line segment AB' crosses the line \ell at the point (1, 1)

Help please it’s for a test I’m so clueless!!!!!!
kumpel [21]

Answer:

h=12  A=144 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoream therom:

9^2+h^2=15^2

81+h^2=225

h^2=225-81

h^2=144

Sq. rt h^2=sq. rt 144

h=12cm

1/2(b1+b2)h

1/2(5+19)12

1/2(24)12

1/2(288)

a=144

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to this question is "8 factorial."

"8 factorial" is written symbolically as 8!  

It's equal to 8·7·6·5·4·3·2·1, which  in turn is equal to:

                     56·30·24, or  40320.

The books could be arranged in 40320 different ways.

For f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = x2 - 6, find (f + g)(x).
Tasya [4]

Answer:

x^2+3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 1

g(x) = x^2 - 6,

(f + g)(x)= 3x + 1 +x^2 - 6,

Combine like terms

        = x^2+3x-5
