The lock is numbered from 0-49. Each combination uses a right,left, right pattern. Find the total # of possible combinations.

I know for a fact it equals 125000 but how do you get that????

chicken

50*50*50 because 0-49 (COUNTING 0) is 50. then, multiply 50 times the amount of times you rotate the lock

All I know is that you do 50x50x50 because 0-49 is 50 since you count 0. You do 50•50•50 because you rotate the lock that many times each. Thus making 125,000

joe mama

50*50*50 because there are 50 options for the first number and 50 for the 2nd and 3rd number, so you multiply them to get 125,000.

125000

You do 50 x 50 x 50, because it includes 0. A common mistake is to do 49 x 49 x 49, which seems right, but in reality does not count zero, so is incorrect

I have a question on my test like this and it keeps saying 125,000 is wrong so idk what you guys are doing

Y’all wrong

Rule of Multiplication If events A and B come from the same sample space, the probability that both A and B occur is equal to the probability the event A occurs times the probability that B occurs, given that A has occurred.

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)

Therefore you have 50 *50*50 = 125,000

For a 0-49 lock you have to do 50*50*50=125,000. It is 50 and not 49 because you have 49(1-49),but you also have 0.(49+1+50)

50 * 50* 50= 125000

Use a tree diagram

50 * 50 * 50 = ?

U STUPID THE PERSON THAT CALLED YOU WRONG!!!

i have no clue

Item 3

The lock is numbered from 0 to 49. Each combination uses three numbers in a right, left, right pattern. Find the total number of possible combinations for the lock.

Me neither

you guy have to give me the really awner

DO U KNOW DA WAE

What is the actual answer

The actual answer is 150. You have 50 possible numbers to work with from 0-49 (49+1 inclusive). Since there is three possible directions to go, you multiple 50 by 3 to get 150 possible ways.
