The probability according to the given scenario will be "\frac{1}{48,000,001}".

According to the question:

  • The odds against winning the lottery are 48,000,000 to 1.
  • Favorable outcome = 1

→ The total outcome will be:

= 48,000,000 +1

= 48,000,001

As we know,

→ P(E) = \frac{Favorable \ outcomes}{Total \ outcomes}

By putting the values, we get

→           =\frac{1}{48,000,001}

Thus the above response is right.

32 percent of the customers of a fast food chain order the Whopper, French fries and a drink. A random sample of 10 cash registe
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 0.0023

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the binomial variable that represents the number of receipts will show that the above three food items were ordered.

probability of success p = 32% = 0.32

Sample size : n= 10

Binomial probability function :

P(X=x)= \ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Now, the probability that eight receipts will show that the above three food items were ordered :

P(X=8)=\ ^{10}C_8(0.32)^8(1-0.32)^2\\\\=\dfrac{10!}{8!2!}(0.32)^8(0.68)^2\\\\=5\times9(0.0000508414176684)\\\\=0.00228786379508\approx0.0023

hence, the required probability = 0.0023

Ray has found that his new car gets 31 miles per gallon on the highwayand 26 miles per gallon in the city. He recently drove 285
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Highway = 155\ miles

City = 130\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Highway = 31mi/gallon

City = 26mi/gallon

Total\ Miles = 285

Total\ Gallons = 10

Required

Determine the number of miles driven on the highway and on the city

Represent the gallons used on highway with h and on city with c.

So, we have:

c + h = 10 ---- gallons used

and

31h + 26c = 285 --- distance travelled

In the first equation, make c the subject

c = 10 - h

Substitute 10 - h for c in the second equation

31h + 26c = 285

31h + 26(10 - h) = 285

Open bracket

31h + 260 - 26h = 285

Collect like terms

31h - 26h = 285 - 260

5h = 25

Make h the subject

h = \frac{25}{5}

h = 5

Substitute 5 for h in c = 10 - h

c = 10 - 5

c = 5

If on the highway, he travels 31 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

Highway = 31 * 5

Highway = 155\ miles

If in the highway, he travels 26 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

City = 26 * 5

City = 130\ miles

What is the surface area of the square pyramid below?
Reika [66]

The surface area of square pyramid is the sum of the area of all its sides.

If l is the slant height and base is s each then surface area of pyramid is given by:

Surface area = s2+2xsx l

From the given figure in the question:

S=6 cm ,l= 8cm.

Substituting these values in surface area formula we have:

Surface area = 62+2x6x8

Surface area = 36+96

Surface area =132cm2
