In a​ lottery, the top cash prize was ​$642 ​million, going to three lucky winners. Players pick five different numbers from 1 t

o 53 and one number from 1 to 46. A player wins a minimum award of $400 by correctly matching two numbers drawn from the white balls​ (1 through 53​) and matching the number on the gold ball​ (1 through 46​). What is the probability of winning the minimum​ award?

Answer:

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of matching the number drawn on the gold ball is

\frac{1}{46}

The number of possible pairs of numbers from 1 to 53 is

\binom{53}{2}  =  \frac{53 \times 52}{2}  = 53 \times 26

Choosing 5 numbers, you are choosing 10 different pairs:

\binom{5}{2}  =  \frac{5 \times 4}{2}  = 10

Therefore the probability of correctly matching the drawn pair is

\frac{10}{53 \times 26}

Thus, the probability of winning (matching the pair AND the gold ball) is

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}

What is the percent of change from 6,000 to 60?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: 99% decrease

Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.

6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with \frac{5,940}{6,000} and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0<em>.</em>99.

Finally, since the problem is asking us for the <em>percent</em>, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.

So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.

Oksana wrote the equation below on the whiteboard.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

6 b + 6 = 48

Subtract 6 from each side

6b+6-6 = 48 -6

6b = 42

Divide each side by 6

6b/6 = 42/6

b = 7

When reading the computer output, the regression equation is typically buried among other statistics. The value of the slope is
Sauron [17]
Number of aircrafts = 2939.93 + 233.517 * (years since 1990).

The predicted number of aircrafts flying in 1992 (1922 does not make sense for this equation because it returns a negative number of aircrafts) is found by pluging in the years since 1990 to 1992 = 1992 -1990 = 2 =>

number of aircrats = 2939.93 + 233.517 * (2) =  3406.96.

That is the predicted number.

The actual number is on the graph. You just go to the explanatory value 2 (years since 1990) on the horizontal axis, move straight upward until you reach the corresponding point on the graph, and read its vertical coordinate (go horizontally to the left until the vertical axis)
