On a science test, 2 points are deducted from a total of 100 points for each question answered incorrectly. Trevor scored an 84

on the test. The equation 100 – 2x = 84, where x represents the number of questions answered incorrectly, represents the situation. How many questions did Trevor answer incorrectly?

Three highways connect city A with city B. Two highways connect city B with city C.
QveST [7]
(a) The probability that there is no open route from A to B is (0.2)^3 = 0.008.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from A to B is given by: 1 - 0.008 = 0.992.
The probability that there is no open route from B to C is (0.2)^2 = 0.04.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from B to C is given by:
1 - 0.04 = 0.96.
The probability that at least one route is open from A to C is:
0.992\times0.96=0.9523

(b)
α The probability that at least one route is open from A to B would become 0.9984. The probability in (a) will become:0.9984\times0.96=0.95846

β The probability that at least one route is open from B to C would become 0.992. The probability in (a) will become:
0.992\times0.992=0.9841

Gamma: The probability that a highway between A and C will not be blocked in rush hour is 0.8. We need to find the probability that there is at least one route open from A to C using either a route A to B to C, or the route A to C direct. This is found by using the formula:
P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)
0.9523+0.8-(0.9523\times0.8)=0.99
Therefore building a highway direct from A to C gives the highest probability that there is at least one route open from A to C.

Check all statements that are equivalent to If the sky is not clear, then you don't see the stars ? a. Clear sky is necessary an
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: The answer is G

Step-by-step explanation:

If you don't see the stars, then the sky is not clear. This statement is equivalent to saying "If the sky is not clear, then you don't see the stars", because if you rearrange both statements you will find out that they are equivalent to each other.

Mark out all the words in each statement, you will discover that at the end you will have no word left on both side, its just as good as saying 1 - 1 = 0.

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.
