The letters that form the word mississippi are placed in a bowl. what is the probability of choosing two letters, one after the other, and choosing a p and then an i? question 9 options: 4/55 6/11 8/121 3/55

Option C (8/121).

Step-by-step explanation:

The word MISSISSIPPI contains 11 letters: 1 M, 4 I, 4 S, and 2 P. Thus the probability of choosing one letter can easily be determined.

P(Letter M is selected) = number of M / number of letters = 1/11.

P(Letter I is selected) = number of I / number of letters = 4/11.

P(Letter S is selected) = number of S / number of letters = 4/11.

P(Letter P is selected) = number of P / number of letters = 2/11.

Therefore, the probability of selecting P in the first attempt is 2/11. If the replacement is allowed, then the probabilities will remain unchanged for all the letters. So the probability of selecting I in the first attempt is 4/11. Assuming that the selection of the letters is independent, we can safely multiply both the probabilities. Therefore, 2/11 * 4/11 = 8/121.

So the correct answer is C!!!

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
