So far she scored 11 out of 15, which is a chance of 11/15, which is also the experimental probability for her next throw.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

<u>Ben:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

<u>Josh:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

<em><u>Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at </u></em> $h(t)=0$ <em><u>. Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one. </u></em>

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$

Since time can only be positive we reject the $t_{2}$ solution and we keep that Ben's book took $t=4.3276$ seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

$t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec$

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took $t=3.6794$ seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

$t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482$

So to answer the original question:

<em>Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?</em>

Josh's textbook reached the ground first
Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Answer:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive means the events will have no intersection.

Let's look at your first choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on an even number would be 2 or 4.

There is an intersection (they contain a common element), the 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your second choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on a number greater than 3 would be just 4.

There is an intersection; they both contain 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your third choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 would just be 3.

There is no common elements in the lists listed. These events have no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fourth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number"

Landing on a unshaded portion would be 2 or 3.

Landing on an odd number would be 1 or 3.

There is an intersection; they both have 3 in common.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fifth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Landing on an unshaded portion would 2 or 3.

Landing on a number less than 2 would be 1.

There is no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

svetoff [14.1K]

First we need to find how much the annual global seafood consumption (agsc) rose, which is 16 pounds

now, we find how much percent of 22 is 16. we put it through a calculator and, rounded to the nearest tenth, get 72.7%

so, the percent increase is 72.7%
