We need to correctly choose exactly 4 out of the 6 drawn numbers.

Apply hypergeometric distribution:
a=number of correctly chosen numbers = 4
A=number of correct (drawn) numbers = 6
b=number of incorrectly chosen numbers = 2 
B=number of undrawn numbers = 44-6 = 38

Then by the hypergeometric distribution
P(a,b,A,B)
=C(A,a)C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)  [C(n,r)=combination of r objects taken out of n]
=C(6,4)C(38,2)/C(44,6)
=15*703/7059052
= 10545/7059052
= 0.001494 (to the nearest millionth)
Answer: probability of winning third prize is 10545/7059052=0.001494

Answer:

10\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is a special right triangle with angle measures as follows:

45-45-90

The side lengths for this special right triangle are represented as follows:

a (the side length that sees angle measure 45)

a\sqrt{2} (the side length that sees angle measure 90)

İn the image we can see that one of the side length that sees angle measure 45 is 10

so c, the side length that sees angle measure 90 (hypotenuse),

is equal to

10\sqrt{2}

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

To write a two-variable equation, I would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, I would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. I could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. My variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation I could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.
