- In horse racing, a “trifecta” occurs when a bettor wins by selecting the first three finishers in the exact order (1 St place, 2nd place, and 3rd place). How many different trifectas are possible if there are 14 horses in a race?arrow_forwardAdd: 3m2+n27m2 .arrow_forwardYou roll a fair die 750 times and count the number of times, N, that you roll a 5 or 6.

- a programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 99% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than three percentage points? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n = b) Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 98% of computers use a new operating system.n = c) Does the additional survey information from part (b) have much of an effect on the sample size that is required?arrow_forwardConsider a grocery bill containing the following costs for the items purchased: $7.69 $5.66 $1.99 $1.39 $7.97 $8.89 $5.54 Estimate the total cost by first rounding each to the nearest dollar. $ Estimate the total cost by first rounding each to the nearest fifty cents. $ What is the actual total cost? $ Show all work using the correct method on your handwritten work/answer sheet.arrow_forward
