Captain Jessica has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate Ishaan and his merciless band

of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Jessica has probability 2/5 of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Jessica will always miss. If his ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Ishaan has probability 3/8 of hitting the Captain's ship. If his ship has been hit, dread pirate Ishaan will always miss. If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the Captain shoots first, what is the probability that the Captain misses the pirate ship, but the pirate hits?

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of event A happening, then event B, is the probability of event A happening times the probability of event B happening given that event A already happened.

In this case, event A is the Captain missing the pirate ship and event B is the pirate hitting the Captain's ship.

The Captain fires first, so her ship can't be sunk before she fires her cannons.

So, the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship is

3/5

If the Captain missed the pirate ship, the pirate has a normal chance to fire back.

So, the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship is

3/8

The probability that the Captain misses the pirate ship, but the pirate hits is then the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship times the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship.

this is 3/5 X 3/8 = 9/40

Chester, the dog, loves to eat treats. He has eaten twice as many today as yesterday. He has eaten a total of 15 dog treats in b
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent bones eaten Today with T and yesterday with Y

Required

Write the equation

In the first statement, we have that:

T = 2Y

Reading further; In the second statement

T + 2Y = 15

Hence, the equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Solving further:

Substitute 2Y for  T in the second equation

2Y + 2Y = 15

4Y = 15

Divide both sides by 4

Y = \frac{15}{4}

Y = 3.75

Recall that

T = 2Y

T= 2 * 3.75

T= 7.5

Which number line represents the following statement?<br><br> A number is more than negative five.
jarptica [38.1K]
Number Line A, well the first number line.

The open circle shows us that -5 is NOT in the solution. All the numbers greater than -5 ( x > -5) are in the solution.

Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,

The area of the 10 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,

The area of the 5 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,

The area of the 4 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,

The area of the 15 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = 432(2)=864 square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = \frac{864}{500} = 1.728 cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

A researcher wants to determine if preschool attendance is associated with high school graduation for low-income students. She r
Alik [6]

Answer:

(C) Whether or not a subject attends preschool

Step-by-step explanation:

In research studies, variables are used to explain differences in another variable. The explanatory variable (also known as independent or predictor variable) is used to explain differences in the response variable (dependent or outcome variable).

<em>It is important to know that the explanatory variable is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher. </em>

The facts that are not being manipulated are the income of the children studied, and what happens after attending or not preschool program. The variable the researcher is manipulating is the assignation to groups that will or will not attend preschool. Therefore the correct answer is:

(C) Whether or not a subject attends preschool

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
