Suppose each laptop of a certain type is assigned a series number, which consists of a sequenceof eight symbols: number, letter,

letter, letter, number, number, number, number, where aletter is any one of 26 letters and a number is one among 0, 1,. . ., 9. Assume that all series numbers are equally likely.
(a) What is the probability that all symbols are different if one laptop is picked at random with equal probability?
(b) What is the probability that all symbols are different and the first number is the largest among the numbers?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5numbers and 3 letters. Each number can be one among the 10 possible.

Each letter is 1 among the 26 available.

a)The number of possible unique serial numbers are

10^5x 26³

The number of 5 number combinations each different (order important) is 5!(10/5)= 30240

The number of 3 letter combinations each different (order important) is 3!(26/3)=15600

The required probability (that all symbols are different if one laptop is picked at random with equal probability) is

15600x3240/ 10^5x 26³=0.2684

b) The first letter must be at least 4 to be largest among the 5 numbers. So the first letter can be one of . 4,5,6,7,8,9..

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 4 (order important) is .

4!=24

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 5 (order important) is .

4!(5/4)= 120

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 6 (order important) is .

4!(6/4)= 360

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 7 (order important) is .

4!(7/4)= 840

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 8 (order important) is

4!(8/4)= 1680

The number of 5 number combinations each different and starting with 9 (order important) is .

4!(9/4)= 3024

Thus, there are

The required probability ( that all symbols are different and the first number is the largest among the numbers) is

15600* 6040/10^5x 26³= 0.0537

A right rectangular prism with square bases has a height of 20 centimeters and a volume of 800 cubic centimeters.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The length of a side of the base is 20 centimeters.

The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a rectangular prism with a total volume of 800 cu cm, and a height of 20 cm.

So, the base has an area of...  800/20 = 40 sq cm.

The prism is a cube.   NO.  If it was a cube, the base would be 400 sq cm (20x20), since the height is 20.

The diagonal of the base is 4 centimeters. NO. with a base of 40 sq cm, it's impossible to have a diagonal of 4 cm.  A diagonal would form a hypotenuse... and an hypotenuse is longer than the two other sides... an hypotenuse of 4 would mean for example sides of about 2 and 3...  which gives 6 sq cm for the base, not 40.

The length of a side of the base is 20 centimeters.  COULD BE. The base is 40 sq cm, it could have a side of 20 and the other of 2.  Without knowing more about the prism than what's included in the question, we can't say YES and we can't say NO.

The area of a base is 40 square centimeters.  Yes

The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters. YES, since the height is 20, that would mean one side of the base would be roughly 6.325 cm... for a base area of 6.325 x 6.325 = 40 sq cm.

What is the equation for this math problem? Steven spent $90 on clothes. He bought a pair of jeans that cost $34 and spent the r
dexar [7]

Answer:

The equation for the given maths problem is $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question :

The Total amount spent on  cloths = $ 90

The cost of a pair of jeans  = $ 34

The cost of each t-shirt pair = $ 8

The amount spent on t-shirt = $ 90 - $ 34 = $ 56

Let the number of t-shirt pair = x

So, $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90

Or,  $ 8x = $ 90 - $ 34

∴         x = \frac{ 90 -  34}{8}

Hence The equation for the given maths problem is $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90  Answer

Find the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6. A) y = 6 because the graph crosses the y-axis at 6. B) y = -0.25 because that
Fofino [41]

Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero's are referencing when y=0, note that when y=0 they are talking about the x-intercepts.  You can graph the function and see when the graph crosses the x-axis or solve for the x-values.  I will solve it via factoring and so:

f(x)=x^2+5x+6

Multiply the outer coefficients, in this case 1 and 6, and 1×6=6.  Now let's think about all the factors of 6 we have: 6×1 and 2×3.  Now is there a way that if we use any of these factors and add/subtract them they will return the middle term 5?  Actually we can say 6-1=5 and 2+3=5.  Let's try both.

First let's use 6 and -1 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+6x-x+6\\\\x(x+6)-1(x-6)

Notice how we have (x+6) and (x-6), these factors do not match so this is incorrect.

Now let's try 2 and 3 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\(x+2)(x+3)

Notice how the factors (x+3) matched up so this is a factor and so is (x+2), now to solve for the zero's let's make f(x)=0 and solve each factor separately:

Case 1:

f(x)=x+2\\\\0=x+2\\\\x=-2

Case 2:

f(x)=x+3\\\\0=x+3\\\\x=-3

So your zero's are when x=-2 and x=-3.

D.) x=-3 and x=-2 because the graph crosses the x-axis at -3 and -2.
