Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 1) x³ + 6x² + 0x + 5 ( x + 5

- (<u>x³ + x² - x</u>)

5x² + x + 5

-(<u>5x² + 5x - 5)</u>

-4x + 10

Result : $x+5+\frac{-4x+10}{(x^{2}+x-1)}$

By the comparing the result with the Lorie's solution,

She made a mistake in the last step in which she combined the constant incorrectly.

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

Three boards are placed end to end to make a walkway. The first board is 4 feet 5 inches long, the second board is 6 feet 9 inch

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

15 feet and 1 inch long

Step-by-step explanation:

add up the feet: 4+6+3= 13 feet

add up the inches: 5+9+11 = 25 inches

25/12= 2 feet 1 inch

13 feet + 2 feet + 1 inch= 15 feet 1 inch

Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.

If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%$

If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%$

To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:

$P = P_1 + P_2$

$P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%$

A textbook has 500 pages on which typographical errors could occur. Suppose that there are exactly 10 such errors randomly locat

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The probability of a selection of 50 pages will contain no errors is 0.368

The probability that the selection of the random pages will contain at least two errors is 0.2644

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

Let q represent the no of typographical errors.

Suppose that there are exactly 10 such errors randomly located on a textbook of 500 pages. Let $\mu$ be the random variable that follows a Poisson distribution, then mean $\mu = \dfrac{10}{500}= 0.02$
