Answer: Choice B

Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.

======================================================

Explanation:

2.4 = 2 + 0.4

2.4 = 2 and 4/10

2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths

2.4 = two and four tenths

-------------------

Through similar reasoning,

6.2 = six and two tenths

And also,

-4.5 = negative four and five tenths

---------------------

Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"

We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.

So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"

All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.

This points us to Choice B as the final answer.

A five-digit number starts with a number between 4-9 in the first position, with no restrictions on the remaining 4 digits. a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a) $Pr = 0.3024$

(b) $Pr = 0.6976$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Start = \{5,6,7,8\}$ i.e. between 4 and 9

$n(Start) =4$

$Digits = 5$

Solving (a): Probability that each of the 5 digit are different

Since there is no restriction;

The total possible selection is as follows:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 10\\$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Third\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fourth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

$Fifth\ digit = 10$ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

So, the total is:

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Total = 40000$

For selection that all digits are different, the selection is:

$First\ digit = 4$ (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

$Second\ digit = 9$ (i.e. any of the remaining 9)

$Third\ digit = 8$ (i.e. any of the remaining 8)

$Fourth\ digit = 7$ (i.e. any of the remaining 7)

$Fifth\ digit = 6$ (i.e. any of the remaining 6)

So:

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

$Selection =12096$

So, the probability is:

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

$Pr = \frac{12096}{40000}$

$Pr = 0.3024$

Solving (b): At least 1 repeated digit

The probability calculated in (a) is the all digits are different i.e. P(None)

So, using laws of complement

We have:

$P(At\ least\ 1) = 1 - P(None)$

So, we have:

$Pr= 1 - 0.3024$

$Pr = 0.6976$

Solving (c): An expression to model the probability.

<em>Using (a) as a point of reference, we have;</em>

$Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}$

Where

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$ ---- for selection of 5 i.e. n = 5

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

$Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6$

This can be rewritten as:

$Selection = 4 * ^9P_4$

4 can be expressed as: 5 - 1

So, we have:

$Selection = (5-1) *^9P_{5-1}$

Substitute n for 5

$Selection = (n-1) *^9P_{n-1}$

$Selection = (n-1)^9P_{n-1}$

$Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10$

This can be rewritten as:

$Total = 4 * 10^4$

$Total = (5-1) * 10^{5-1}$

$Total = (n-1) * 10^{n-1}$

$Total = (n-1) 10^{n-1}$

So, the expression is:

$Pr = \frac{(n-1)^9P_{n-1}}{(n-1)10^{n-1}}$

$Pr = \frac{^9P_{n-1}}{10^{n-1}}$

<em>Where n represents the digit number</em>

A total of 17,100 seats are still available for the next hockey game. If 62% of the tickets are sold, how many seats are in the

MrRa [10]

Answer:

We have

seats x ( 62 / 100 ) = (seats - 17,100);

seats x 62 = 100 x (seats - 17,100);

seats x 62 = seats x 100 - 1710000;

1,710,000 = seats x 38;

seats = 1,710,000 ÷ 38;

seats = 45,000;

The correct answer is c. 45,000 seats;

Find mystery number

In-s [12.5K]

The number is less than 190,000 and greater than 180,000

5,000 more than the number has 187 thousands

2000 less than the number has 4 hundreds

180, 000 <n> 190, 000

180,000 + 2000 = n = 5000-187, 000

182,000 = n = 182, 000

Or,

180, 000 <n> 190,000

n + 5000= 187, 000 n – 2000 = 180, 000

n= 187, 000- 5000 n = 180, 000 + 2000

n= 182, 000 n= 182, 000
