Total coins = 10 ( 4 + 3 + 3 = 10).

The probability of picking a nickel first = 4/10 = 2/5 ( 4 nickels out of 10 total).

The probability of picking a dime second = 3/9 = 1/3 ( 3 dimes out of 9 coins left).

The probability of picking the third coin as a quarter = 3/8 ( 3 quarters out of 8 coins left).

The probability of picking all three in that order = 2/5 x 1/3 x 3/8 = 1/20

On a trip, you had to change your money from dollars to British pounds. You got 560560 pounds for 800800 dollars. How many pound
Vlad [161]
First you need to divide 800,800 by 300,300 because you need to know how these two amounts are related, in order to know how the amounts of pounds you are converting are related.
800,800÷300,300= 2.66666.... (recurring)
If $300,300 goes into $800,800 2.66666 times, then the amount of pounds you want to find goes into £560,560 2.66666 times as well. Let's write this as an equation to solve for x (where x is the amount of pounds you will obtain for $560,560):
2.66666x = 560,560
Divide both sides by 2.66666
x = 210,210
Therefore, you will get £210,210 for $300,000

Which of the following statements is true?. . A.A tangent is never a secant.. B.A secant is always a chord.. C.A chord is always
skelet666 [1.2K]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

A) A tangent is never a secant.

Explanation:

A tangent is a line that touches a circle in exactly one point. A secant is a line that touches a circle in two different points.

Since a tangent only touches once and a secant touches twice, there is no way a tangent can be a secant.

Use a stem-and-leaf plot to display the data, which represent the thickness (in centimeters) of ice measured at 20 different loc
navik [9.2K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the data given on a stem and leaf plot, the whole number in a given value would be used as the stem, while the number after the decimal point is the leaf. (Key: 3|3 = 3.3).

For example, in the first stem in the first row, we have 4 as the stem. All values that starts with 4 point would be represented in this row. The digit after 4 point for each of the values would be written on the leaf column in the first row, from the least to the largest. For the first row we have: 4 | 3 9.

Same applies to the rest rows.

The stem plot would look like the one below:

Ice Thickness:

Stem | Leaf

4 | 3 9

5 | 1 8 8 8 9

6 | 5 8 9 9

7 | 0 2 2 2 2 5 9

8 | 0 7

The data of the stem-and-leaf plot shows a bell-shaped pattern with majority of the ice thickness for the 20 locations clustering around the center of the data distribution.
