Answer:

1 ; 7 /17

Step-by-step explanation:

17 balls numbered 1 through 17

Picking without replacement :

If the second ball picked = 4

P(first ball has a smaller number)

Numbers less Than = (3, 2, 1)

P(number less than second ball Given 4 is drawn for second ball) :

= (3/17 * 1/16) ÷ (3/17 * 1/16) +) 14/17 * 0)

= (3 / 272) / (3 /272) * 0

= 3 / 272 * 272 / 3

= 1

2.)

(8/17 * 7/8) ÷ (8/17 * 7/8) + (9/17 * 1/17)

7/17 ÷ (7 /17) + 10/17

7 /17 ÷ 17/17

7/17 ÷ 1

7 /17

Answer:

8.51x10^{-3}cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add or subtract numbers in scientific notation, the powers of ten must have the same exponent.  In this caes the diameter of an average human body cell is a power of -4 and the diameter of a plant cell is a power of -3.  In order to add them, we can move the decimal over for the body cell diameter:

5.1x10^{-4}=0.51x10^{-3}

Add the two values: 0.51x10^{-3}+8x10^{-3}=8.51x10^{-3}cm
