Answer:

B. 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways in which we can select x elements from a group of n elements is calculated as:

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

So, the number of ways in which a computer can select 3 digits is calculated as:

10C3=\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=120

Because there are 10 digits from 0 to 9.

Then, from that 120 options there are 8 that have 3 sequential digits. These options are:

{0,1,2} {1,2,3} {2,3,4} {3,4,5} {4,5,6} {5,6,7} {6,7,8} {7,8,9}

So, the probability that it will choose 3 sequential digits is equal to:

P=\frac{8}{120}=\frac{1}{15}

DIA [1.3K]
The sample space is 22 words and out of it, 14 words are known to have meanings for the student. In the problem, we use 10 C8 + 10 C9 + 10 C10 to associate at least 8 words. The complete formula is (10 C8 * (14/22)^8 * (8/22)^2 + 10 C9  (14/22)^9 * (8/22)^1 + 10 C 10 (14/22)^10 * (8/22)^)0) that is equal to 0.233
