5 0

Answer: 0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's count the total number of four-digit numbers.

Let's think it as four empty slots:

_ _ _ _

In each slot, we can put a single digit.

In the first slot, we have 9 options {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

The zero is not an option here, because if there was a 0, this would be a 3 digit number, then the 0 can not be in the first slot.

For the second slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

for the third slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

for the fourth slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options for each slot, this means that we have:

Combinations = 9*10*10*10 = 9000

So there are 9000 different 4 digit numbers.

Now we want to find the probability of selecting a number at random that is equal or smaller than 5000.

Let's see the number of 4-digit numbers that are equal or smaller than 5000.

The smallest 4-digit number is 1000.

Then the number of numbers between 1000 and 5000 is:

5000 - 1000 = 4000

This means that there are 4000 4-digit numbers that are equal or smaller than 5000.

Now, the probability of selecting one of them at random is equal to the quotient between the number of 4-digit numbers that meet the condition (4000) and the total number of 4-digits (9000)

Then te probability is:

P = 4000/9000 = 4/9 = 0.44

*Help ASAP Please! Studying for finals and I'm stuck on this question!*
Nezavi [6.7K]
First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2

If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12

Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).

I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...

When x=12,y=8 find x when y=12
Naya [18.7K]
X would equal 18 when y equals 12.

Since x equals 12 when y=8, you can write it as 8/12

Then it says when y = 12 what is x, well you divide 12 and 8 to get 1.5 then multiply 12 and 1.5 to get what x equals when y is equal to 12.

Correct me if I am wrong.
