Using scientific notation, the correct statement is given by:

C. Corporation C owns the most land. Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B.

<h3>What is scientific notation?</h3>

A number in scientific notation is given by:

$a \times 10^b$

With the base being $a \in [1, 10)$ .

Considering the amounts in scientific notation, the standard amounts in acres of each corporation are given as follows:

Corporation A: $3.2 \times 10^5 = 320000 = 320,000$ .

Corporation B: $4 \times 10^4 = 40000 = 40,000$ .

Corporation C: $4.3 \times 10^5 = 430000 = 430,000$ .

Hence corporation C owns the most land. 320,000/40,000 = 8, hence Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B, and statement C is correct.

Answer:

$P(A) = \frac{1}{9}$

$P(B) = \frac{1}{3}$

$P(C) = \frac{1}{729}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Only employees are hired during the first 3 days of the week with equal probability.

2 employees are selected at random.

So:

A. The probability that an employee has been hired on a Monday is:

$P(M) = \frac{1}{3}$ .

If we call P(A) the probability that 2 employees have been hired on a Monday, then:

$P(A) =P(M\ and\ M)\\\\P(A)=( \frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})\\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{9}$

B. We now look for the probability that two selected employees have been hired on the same day of the week.

The probability that both are hired on a Monday, for example, we know is $P(A) = \frac{1}{9}$ . We also know that the probability of being hired on a Monday is equal to the probability of being hired on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday. But if both were hired on the same day, then it could be a Monday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

$P(B) = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9}\\\\P(B) = \frac{1}{3}$ .

C. If the probability that two people have been hired on a specific day of the week is $3(\frac{1}{3}) ^ 2$ , then the probability that 7 people have been hired on the same day is:
