Two friends race against each other in 100-meter and 800-meter races. Of the 200 races they ran this year, the wins, losses, and

ties are shown below.
100 meter (Event D) 800 meter (Event E)
A won the race (Event A) 30 50
B won the race (Event B)60 25
A and B tied (Event T)10 25
What percentage of all the races are ties? If someone wins the race today, is it more likely for A to win or B to win? How much more likely?

1. <span>What percentage of all the races are ties?
If</span>The chance for the race become tie is 10% for 100m and 25% for 800m. Assuming that the 200 race is divided equally, then there would be 100 race of 100-m and 100 race of 800-m.
The number of the event of ties would be:
(100*10% + 100*25%)/ 200= 35/200= 17.5%

2. If someone wins the race today, is it more likely for A to win or B to win? How much more likely?The event should be independent because the two events should not influence each other. That means the probability will not change and no one becomes more likely to win the next race.

You pack sandwiches for a mountain hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 222 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sand
Goryan [66]

Answer:

This question contains some errors; the correct question is:

You pack sandwiches for a mountain hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 2 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sandwich. How many slices of bread are used for n hikers? Write your answer as an expression.

The answer is:

(2n) slices of bread for n hikers

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, sandwiches packed for a mountain hike with friends is made of two (2) slices of bread.

Each hiker gets one sandwich

This, n hikers will get n× 1 sandwich

= (n) sandwiches.

If 1 sandwich contains 2 slices of bread, then (n) sandwiches for n hikers will contain:

(2 × n) slices of bread

That is, (2n) slices of bread.

The expression is (2n).

The m6 = (11x + 8)° and m7 = (12x – 4)° What is the measure of 4? m4 = 40° m4 = 48° m4 = 132° m4 = 140°
bezimeni [28]
M< 6 = m< 7 (vertical angles)
11x + 8 = <span>12x – 4
12x - 11x = 8 + 4
 x = 12
so
m< 6 = </span>11x + 8 
m< 6 = 11(12) + 8
m< 6 = 132 + 8
m< 6 = 140

m<4 = 180 - m<6
m<4 = 180 - 140
m<4 = 40

answer

<span>m<4 = 40</span>

(Ross 5.15) If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ " 10 and σ 2 " 36, compute (a) PpX ą 5q (b) Pp4 ă X ă 16q (c) PpX
pochemuha

Answer:

(a) 0.7967

(b) 0.6826

(c) 0.3707

(d) 0.9525

(e) 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean <em>μ</em> = 10 and  variance <em>σ</em>² = 36.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 5) as follows:

P(X>5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{5-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>-0.833)\\=P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 5) is 0.7967.

(b)

Compute the value of P (4 < X < 16) as follows:

P(4

Thus, the value of P (4 < X < 16) is 0.6826.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 8) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 8) is 0.3707.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 20) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 20) is 0.9525.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 16) as follows:

P(X>16)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{16-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>1)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 16) is 0.1587.

**Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probabilities.

A semicircular flower bed has a diameter of 3 metres. What is the area of the flower bed?
Yuri [45]

The area of circle is

A_{\text{circle}}=\pi r^2.

Then the area of semicircular region is

A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^2.

If r=3 m, you have

A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi \cdot 3^2=\dfrac{9\pi}{2}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13 sq. m.

Answer: A_{\text{semicircular region}}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13 sq. m.
