A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel

from New York to Chicago. They can take an airplane for $350, a bus for $150, or a train for $225. Once they arrive in Chicago, they can travel by van to their hotel for $60 or take a cab for $40. If each option is equally likely to occur, what is the probability that a tourist will spend more than $275 on these 2 legs of the trip?

Answer:

P = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tourist spends more than 275$, they must not arrive in Chicago by bus.

( 150 + 60 < 275, 150 + 40 < 275)

The total options the tourist can make:

3 x 2 = 6

(1st leg: 3 possible options, 2nd leg: 2 possible options)

The number of options the tourist can make after excluding bus option:

2 x 2 = 4

(1st leg: 2 remaining possible options, 2nd leg: 2 possible options)

The number of options the tourist can make after excluding the bus option and spend more than 275$:

4 - 1 = 3

(excluding the case of selecting train and cab, because 225 + 40 < 275)

=> The probability that the tourist will spend more than 275$ on these 2 legs of the trip:

P = 3/6 = 1/2

What is the true solution to l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x x = 5 x = 10 x = 50 x = 100
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x

ln (20×5) = ln x²

ln(100) = lnx²

100 = x²

x = +/- 10

Since logs of negative numebrs don't exist, we reject -10

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions. True or False
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions.

We need to determine the above statement is true or false.

The above statement is false, it could be inconsistent, and therefore have no solutions,

For example:

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4 +x_5+x_6+x_7=0\\x_1+x_2+x_3 =1\\x_4 +x_5 =1\\x_6+ x_7=1

Hence, there is no solution.

1. Which formula defines the sequence f(1)=2, f(2)= 6, f(3)= 10, f(4)= 14, f(5)= 18?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(1)=2\\ f(2)= 6\\ f(3)= 10\\ f(4)= 14\\ f(5)= 18

Required

Determine the formula

First, we need to solve common difference (d)

d = f(n) - f(n-1)

Take n as 2

d = f(2) - f(2-1)

d = 6 - 2

d = 4

Represent each function as a sum of the previous

f(1) = 2

f(2) = 2 + 4 = f(1) + 4

f(3) = 6 + 4 = f(2) + 4

f(4) = 10 + 4 = f(3) + 4

f(5) = 14 + 4 = f(4) + 4

Represent the function as f(n)

f(n) =f(n-1) + 4

Reorder

f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2

Orthographic projection and isometric projection are two ways to show three-dimensional objects in a two-dimensional space, such
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Orthographic Projection is used for making the projects but Isometric Projection is used to have better understanding of the object.

Orthographic drawings are typically two dimensional views of an object. For instance, if you were designing a table, you would draw a top view, side view and a bottom view. Should these three views not fully explain the design of the table other views would need to be drawn. When drawing an perspective view in an orthographic manner, you would utilize a 45 degree triangle for the lines that extend back or forward from the vertical lines. This type of perspective is not a true perspective because you can measure the true length of all the details shown. An isometric drawing is meant to depict a 3D image of an object in what appears to be a perspective view. However, similar to an orthographic perspective, all of the lines in an isometric drawing can be measured to their true length. What makes it different from an orthographic perspective is that its angled lines are drawn at 30 or 60 degrees or divisions of them. Drawing this by hand you would use a 30/60/90 triangle.

In either case, both types of perspectives can be accurately measured with a ruler in order to know the objects measurements.

Evaluate 8a-1+0.5b8a−1+0.5b8, a, minus, 1, plus, 0, point, 5, b when a=\dfrac14a=
professor190 [17]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

8a-1+0.5b

You need to substitute the given values of "a" and "b" into the expression. Notice that these values are:

a=\frac{1}{4}\\\\b=10

Then;

 8a-1+0.5b=8(\frac{1}{4})-1+0.5(10)

Now you must solve the multiplications:

=\frac{8}{4}-1+5=2-1+5

The final step is to add the numbers. Therefore, you get the following answer:

=6
