The access code for a garage door consists of three digits. Each digit can be any number from 1 through 5, and each digit can b

Papessa [141]

Answer:

(a) 125

$(b) \dfrac{1}{125}$

$(c) \dfrac{124}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that access code consists of 3 digits.

Each digit can be any digit through 1 to 5 and can be repeated.

Now, this problem is equivalent to the problem that we have to find:

The number of 3 digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1 to 5 with repetition allowed.

(a) We have 3 places here, unit's, ten's and hundred's places respectively and each of the 3 places have 5 possibilities (any digit allowed with repetition).

So, total number of access codes possible:

$5\times 5 \times 5 = 125$

(b) Suppose, an access code is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be correct.

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

Here, only 1 code is correct, so

Number of favorable cases = 1

Total number of cases = 125

So, required probability:

$P(E) = \dfrac{1}{125}$

(c) Probability of not selecting the correct access code on first time:

$P(\overline E) = 1-P(E)\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = 1-\dfrac{1}{125}\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = \dfrac{125-1}{125}\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = \dfrac{124}{125}$

So, the answers are:

(a) 125

$(b) \dfrac{1}{125}$

$(c) \dfrac{124}{125}$

How to solve 4+7*-5*-6

Fantom [35]

4 + 7 * -5 * -6

7 * -5 = -35

4 + -35 * -6

-35 * -6 = 210

4 + 210 = 214

4 + 7 * -5 * -6 = 214

A graph has a constant of proportionality of 2.54. Let y represent centimeters and x represent inches. What is the unit rate of

Helga [31]

Answer: 2.54 is the rate of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

Since, By the definition of proportionality,

y = k x

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

And, Here k = 2.54

Thus, the equation of line is,

y = 2.54 x

since, rate of the equation is the slope of the line.

And, the general equation of line

y = m x +c

Where, m is the slope of the line.

By comparing the equation of line y = 2.54 x with this.

The slope of the line = 2.54

Therefore, 2.54 is the rate of the given equation.

The price of the product decreased by 10%and then decreased by 20% . calculate total percentage change between the final and ini

aev [14]

What is percentage change?

By quantifying the difference between two numbers and expressing it as an increase or decrease, the Percentage Change Calculator (percent change calculator) may determine the percentage change.

The initial price $V_{1}$ (100%) was decreased by 10%., then this reduced price is reduced more by 20% that becomes the final price $V_{2}$ which is 72.
