In a state lottery game you select six numbers from 1 to 44. the state selects six numbers at random from 1 to 44 without replac

ement. you must match four out of the state's six to win third prize. the order of the numbers is irrelevant. find the probability of winning third prize.

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

Solve 12^x^2+5x-4 = 12^2x+6
faust18 [17]

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation:

                    12^{x^{2}+5 x-4}=12^{2 x+6}

Since the base on both sides as ‘12’ are the same, we can write it as

                     x^{2}+5 x-4=2 x+6

                     x^{2}+5 x-2 x-4-6=0

                     x^{2}+3 x-10=0

Often, the value of x is easiest to solve by a x^{2}+b x+c=0 by factoring a square factor, setting each factor to zero, and then isolating each factor. Whereas sometimes the equation is too awkward or doesn't matter at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.

<u>The Quadratic Formula:</u> For a x^{2}+b x+c=0, the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by:

                       x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Where, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -10

                       x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-10)}}{2(1)}

                       x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9+40}}{2}

                       x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}=\frac{-3 \pm 7}{2}

So, the solutions for ‘x’ are

                       x=\frac{-3+7}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2

                       x=\frac{-3-7}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

Find volume of cylinder <br><br> Show work
zloy xaker [14]

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a cylinder is given by:

V = \pi * r ^ 2 * h

Where:

A: It is the radius of the cylinder

h: It's the height

We have according to the data that:

r = \frac {34} {2} = 17 \ m\\h = 27 \ m

Substituting in the equation we have:

V = \pi * (17) ^ 2 * 27\\V = \pi * 289 * 27\\V = 24501.42\ m^3

ANswer:

V = 24501.42\ m^3
