b. 250401
c. 246000

Answer 1

.0016 of the words were misspelled.

So, \(1-0.0016=0.9984\) of the words were spelled properly.

Answer 2

so the answer would be D.

Answer 3

because when you multiply 250,000 by .9984 you get 249,600

Answer 4

So need to do \(0.9984\times250000\) to get how many words were spelled.

Answer 5
