Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder. In the original game of Clue, the guilty perso

n can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms. At one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms. What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess being correct

Answer:

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

HELP PLEASE <br><br>must show work ​

Answer:

1. 4n^3

2. 4k^7

3. 3

4. -30x

5. -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3 and the prime factorization of 16 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. When you look at these two expressions you can see the common factors of these two numbers are 2 x 2, which is 4. Next, we look at the GCF of the N's which would be n^3 since n^5 has three N's in it. Therefore, we get 4n^3 when we multiply the two together.

2. The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Out of these, 1, 2, and 4 are the only factors that 20 shares with it and 4 is the greatest. Then, we look at the K's and the GCF of the K's is k^7 since k^8 has seven K's. We multiply the two and we get 4k^7.

3. Since one of the numbers of the three given here does not include the variable n, there will not be any N's in the GCF of the three, so we don't have to worry about that. Now, we just find the GCF of 18, -24, and -21. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18, the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, and lastly, the factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, and 21. From these, 3 is the biggest common divisor, therefore the GCF is 3.

4. Between the two X's, X^1 is the biggest amount of X's this GCF has, so the final GCF will be some constant multiplies with X. Since we are dealing with bigger numbers on this problem, we should use prime factorization. The prime factorization of 90 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5, and the prime factorization of 120 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5. From these expressions, we take the biggest amount of each common factor as we can. Since these expressions both have 2, we take the smaller amount of 2's which is one two. Then we get one three from both expressions, and one five as well. 2 times 3 times 5 equals 30, therefore, we get -30x, and not 30x, because both of these numbers are negatives.

5. All of these numbers do not have an x, so there won't be an x in our GCF. Another method of quickly finding the GCF of numbers is to look at the smallest number's factors first to see what factors it shares with the other numbers. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. 42 and 30 do not have the factor 12, so we can go down the list and see if 42 and 30 share the factor 6, which they do since 6 times 7 is 42 and 6 times 5 is 30. Since all of these numbers share the negative sign, the GCF of these three numbers is -6.
