A game has a rectangular board with an area of 44in2. There is a square hole near the top of the game board in which you must no

t toss in a bean bag. The square has side lengths of 3in. What is the probability of tossing the bag through the hole twice in a row?

There's a key piece of information that we have to assume about this problem: that there is a 100% probability of hitting the game board. (you will definitely hit the board). That means the probability of getting into the hole is the area of the hole divided by the area of the board. 

The area of the board is given: 44 in²
The area of the hole is 3x3 = 9 in²

The probability of hitting the hole on any given try:
9/44 
Twice in a row:
9/44 * 9/44 = 81/1936

Answer is B) 81/1936

(30 points) The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral JKLM are J(−3, 2) , K(3, 5) , L(9, −1) , and M(2, −3) .
Which statement correctly describes whether quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus?

Quadrilateral JKLM is not a rhombus because there is only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.

The rectangle below has an area of 6n^4+20n^3+14n^26n 4 +20n 3 +14n 2 6, n, start superscript, 4, end superscript, plus, 20, n,
Sindrei [870]

Given:

Area of rectangle = 6n^4+20n^3+14n^2

Width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 6n^4, 20n^3,14n^2.

To find:

Length and width of the rectangle.

Solution:

Width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 6n^4, 20n^3,14n^2 is

6n^4=2\times 3\times n\times n\times n\times n

20n^3=2\times 2\times 5\times n\times n\times n

14n^2=2\times 7\times n\times n

Now,

GCF(6n^4, 20n^3,14n^2)=2\times n\times n=2n^2

So, width of the rectangle is 2n^2.

Area of rectangle is

Area=6n^4+20n^3+14n^2

Taking out GCF, we get

Area=2n^2(3n^2+10n+7)

We know that, area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width.

Since, width of the rectangle is 2n^2, therefore length of the rectangle is (3n^2+10n+7).

Annie is running a trail that is 4 1/2 miles long. She ran the first 2/3 of the distance. Then the trail became very steep, so s
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail= 4 1/2 miles

Annie ran the first 2/3 miles

Remaining miles= Total miles - Miles covered first

= 4 1/2 - 2/3

= 9/2 - 2/3

= 27-4 / 6

= 23/6 miles

Remaining miles = 23/6 miles

Annie walked for 1/2 of the remaining distance

1/2 of the remaining miles= 1/2 × 23/6

=23 / 12

= 1 11/12

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles

The distribution of heights of a certain breed of terrier has a mean of 72 centimeters and a standard de- viation of 10 centimet
RSB [31]

Answer:

Pr(X-Y ≤ 44.2) = 0.5593

Step-by-step explanation:

for a certain breed of terrier

Mean(μ) = 72cm

Standard deviation (σ) = 10cm

n = 64

For a certain breed of poodle

Mean(μ) = 28cm

Standard deviation (σ) = 5cm

n = 100

Let X be the random variable for the height of a certain breed of terrier

Let Y be the random variable for the height of a certain breed of poodle

μx - μy = 72 -28

= 44

σx - σy = √(σx^2/nx + σy^2/ny)

= √10^2/64 + 5^2/100

= √100/64 + 25/100

= √ 1.8125

= 1.346

Using normal distribution,

Z= (X-Y- μx-y) / σx-y

Z= (44.2 - 44) / 1.346

Z= 0.2/1.346

Z= 0.1486

From the Z table, Z = 0.149 = 0.0593

Φ(z) = 0 0593

The probability that the difference of the observed sample mean is at most 44.3 is Pr(Z ≤ 44.2)

Recall that if Z is positive,

Pr(Z≤a) = 0.5 + Φ(z)

Pr(Z ≤ 44.2) = 0.5 + 0.0593

= 0.5593

Therefore,

Pr(X-Y ≤ 44.2) = 0.5593
