Okie doke. So, we are rounding this number to the nearest thousandths place, which is three digits behind the decimal. The rules for rounding are if the number is 5 or more in the digit behind it, the number goes up. If it is 4 or less, the number goes back. In other words, we depend on the digit right of the digit we are rounding to in order to see what we do. The number we are rounding is 1.49882. The 8 is in the thousandths place and the 8 is to the right of that, which is the ten thousandths place. Because 8 is greater than 5, the number rounds up. So the number rounded to the nearest thousandth is 1.500.
Rate of change is slope
So change in y/change in x

Answer:
<em>The probability of obtaining the letter p twice is 1/121</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability of Recurring Events</u>
There are 11 letters in the word 'independent', one of which is the letter 'p'.
When those letters are written on individual cards and they are put into a box, there are 11 different choices to pick at random.
This means the individual probability of getting a 'p' is:

The card is reinserted into the box, leaving the sample space unaltered, thus the second card has the same probability:

We'll use the multiplication rule. Just multiply the probability of the first event by the second.


The probability of obtaining the letter p twice is 1/121
