Mark and Sofia walk together down a long, straight road. They walk without stopping for 4 miles. At this point Sofia says their

displacement during the trip must have been 4 miles; Mark says their current position must be 4 miles. Who, if either, is correct? Explain.

Answer:

Sofia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.

On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.

Sammy and Pippa's teacher gives them a homework question to solve. She tells them to plot the points A(5, -1), B(9, 4), C(15, 1)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Pippa

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has

  • parallel opposite sides
  • perpendicular adjacent sides
  • perpendicular diagonals

A rhombus has  

  • parallel opposite sides
  • non-perpendicular adjacent sides
  • perpendicular diagonals

Thus, we can identify the shape by comparing the slopes of the adjacent sides.

1. Draw the shape

See the graph below

2. Calculate the slope of AB

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (4 - (-1))/(9 - 5) = (4 + 1)/4 = 5/4

3. Calculate the slope of BC

If BC⟂AP, its slope should be -4/5 .

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (1 - 4)/(15 - 9) =-3/6 = -1/2

½ ≠ -⅘

The two lines are not perpendicular.

Pippa is right. The shape is a rhombus.

A and B will take the same 10-question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by A with probability .7, independe
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a) The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B = 11 (7 + 4).

b) The Variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B = 2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of questions in the examination = 10

Probability of A's answer being correct = 0.7

Probability of B's answer being correct = 0.4

The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B:

           Probability of       Expected        

        Correct Answer       Value          Variance

A              0.7                     7 (0.7 * 10)    2.25

B              0.4                     4 (0.4 * 10)    2.25

Total expected value =    11

           Mean =                  5.5                2.25

At a college, 72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 31% of courses have a res
beks73 [17]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers which means probability of 0.72 for courses that have final exams and 0.46 for courses that require research papers.

31% of courses have a research paper and a final exam, which means probability of 0.31 for both courses with exams and research papers, using Venn diagram approach, find picture attached to the solution.

P(R or E) = P(R) + P(E) - P(R and E), which gives:

P(R or E) = 0.15 + 0.41 - 0.31

P(R or E) = 0.25.
