Algebra.Com's Answer #513937 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Umm, (10*10*10*10)/(4*4*4*4) is greater than 1. Check what you write to see if it makes sense first.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hint: You need to draw a 1 first. What is the probability of picking 1? If you have already picked 1, what is the probability that you will draw 2, out of the nine remaining slips? \n" ); document.write( " |
