Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.

Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines. EB and DC are parallel. AE = 5 cm, BC = 4.5 cm, BE = 4
lianna [129]

Answer:

y = 16x/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines

EB and DC are parallel

The area of quadrilateral BCDE = xcm²

The area of triangle ABE = ycm²

Find attached the diagram from the above information.

In similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding angles are equal.

Also, the ratio of the area of the two triangles = square of ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.

Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = (DC/EB)²

Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = [(area of quadrilateral BCDE +

area of ∆ABE)]/(area of ∆ABE)

(x+y)/y = (DC/EB)²

(x+y)/y = (9/4)²

x+y = (81/16)y

x = (81/16)y - y

x = (81y - 16y)/16

x = 65y/16

Making y subject of formula

16x = 65y

y = 16x/65

An expression for y in terms of x:

y = 16x/65

Two angles form a straight angle one angle measures 77 degrees what is the measure of the other angle
Nastasia [14]
The sum of a straight angle is 180°
So 77+x=180
Subtract 77 from both sides and the equation is
x=77

The measure of the other angle is 77°

2 Rita bought three and forty-eight hundredths pounds of bananas at the store. How is this number written in expanded notation?
boyakko [2]

The cost of bananas = $ 3.48

This can be written as :                                                                                            

this number written in expanded notation as : (3 × 1) + (4 × 0.1) + (8 × 0.01)

3+0.4+0.08 = 3.48

Hence, 1st option is correct.

Raul is practicing for baseball tryouts he wants to find how far he can hit a baseball he hits the ball 10 times and measures th
wel

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 10 --- Number of tryouts

Required

Determine the average distance

<em>This question has missing details, as the distance he hits the ball in each tryout is not given. However, I'll give a general explanation.</em>

<em></em>

The mean is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

\sum x means the sum of the distance in each tryout.

Assume that the distance in the 10 tryouts are: 6, 8, 5, 9, 4, 5, 8, 7, 7, 6.

So, the mean is:

\bar x = \frac{6+ 8+ 5+ 9+ 4+ 5+ 8+ 7+ 7+ 6}{10}

\bar x = \frac{65}{10}

\bar x = 6.5}

<em>So, the average distance is 6.5</em>
