Answer

It is a 4 digit number but 1 digit (exactly one digit) is repeated just once.

So 3 digits out of 10 have to be chosen.

There are 10C3 = 120 ways to do this.

say the digits chose are 5,6 and 9, they can be in any order and there are 3! possible orders =6 orders.

So so far that is 120*6=720 ways to get a 3 digit number where the digits are all different.

But we want a 4 digit number.

One digit has to be repeated there are 3 possibilities so that is 720*3 = 2160 posibilities.

But there are 4 postions that extra number can be put in. So that is 2160*4=8640 numbers

But I have double counted because 1434 is the same if I swap the 4s around so I have to halve this answer

8640/2 = 4320

So the number of favourable outcomes is 4320.

Altogether there are 10*10*10*10 = 10000 4 digit numbers (if they are allowed to start with 0)

so the prob of getting just one digit repeated once is 4320/10000 = 0.4320 = 43.2%

Do you understand now?

You will need to write your query on this thread but also send me a private message with the address of this thread attached. Otherwise I will not see it.

If you do have a query try to ask a specific question.

Anyway I hope that you understand

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

or

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) <u>Find the height of the cone before the storm</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) <u>Find the volume before the storm</u>

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) <u>Find the volume after the storm</u>

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

so

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

<u>4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile</u>

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

<u>the answer part a) is</u>

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

<u>Part b)</u> Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) <u>Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm</u>

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) <u>Find the pounds of road salt used</u>

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) <u>Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt</u>

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

<u>Part c) </u>How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) <u>Find the pounds of road salt </u>

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) <u>Find the number of lane miles </u>

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

<u>the answer part c) is</u>

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$

A group of 12 people want to go to a concert. They can travel in a small car that takes one driver and one passenger and two car

trapecia [35]

Answer: There are 60 ways that they can travel to the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people want to go to a concert = 12

Number of cars = 3

Number of drivers in the group = 5

So, using the "Fundamental theorem of counting":

We get that

$5\times 4\times 3\\\\=60$

Hence, there are 60 ways that they can travel to the concert.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7, —4) and (—1 , 3) , first in point -slope form , and then slope

ipn [44]

Answer:

The slope of the line is -7/8

The point slope-form is y+4=(-7/8)(x-7)

The slope-intercept form is y=(-7/8)x+(17/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the slope first using m=y2-y1 divided by x2-x1. After you found the slope of the line, you use one of the points to plug it into the point-slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1). After you have done that, you would have convert this equation into slope-intercept form which is y=mx + b. In order to convert it, you have to multiply m with x and x1. Then you would have to get rid of y1 by doing the opposite of what y1 is. Finally, you would take the opposite of y1 and add it to the other side of the equation.

Really hope this helps! :)
