Question 5 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

A computer’s random number generator produces random integers from 1 to 50. What is the probability that the first 3 integers generated are single-digit numbers?

Answer
A
0.0058
B
0.0080
C
0.5120
D
0.5514

Explanation

The single-digit integers from 1 to 50 are 1 through 9, so the probability for one draw is 9/50 = 0.18. For all three independently generated integers to be single-digit, multiply: (9/50)³ = 0.005832, which rounds to 0.0058. Therefore, the correct choice is A, 0.0058.
