Suppose that a monkey is seated at a computer keyboard and randomly strikes the 26 letter keys and the space bar. find the probability that its first 39 characters (including spaces) will be "to be or not to be that is the question." (leave your answer as a formula.)

In case you want it as a fraction

:D

Step-by-step

There are 27 possibilities for each character typed.

The keys are striked randomly, so we assume independence between letters.

So the probability of hitting a specified character is 1/27.

Here the length of the string (excluding the final period, since it is not on the monkey's keyboard) is 39.

By the multiplication law of probability, the probability of multi-step independent events is the product of the probability of the individual events.

So probability of random typing resulting in the phrase

"to be or not to be that is the question"

= (1/27)^39

= 1/66555937033867822607895549241096482953017615834735226163

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
