Answer:

Yes, she made an error because she didn't define the problem correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the complete question is shown.

Let's define

A: rolling a number greater than 2

Complement of an event are all outcomes that are not the event, then the complement of rolling a number greater than 2 is rolling a number less than or equal to 2 (notice that 2 is not greater than 2). The outcomes that satisfied this criteria are {1, 2}, that makes a total of 2 possibilities. In a 6-side number cube there are 6 possible outcomes, then:

p(Complement of A) = 2/6 = 1/3

Answer:

Yes, she made an error. Caitlyn should have taken the desired outcomes, rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6, and divided that by the total possible outcomes to get a probability of 4/6, or 2/3. She should have subtracted this probability from 1 to get the complement, which is 2/6, or 1/3.

The density of granite is about 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter. Suppose you have a granite countertop for a kitchen that is 1 m
stellarik [79]

Answer:

330\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 kg=1,000 g

1 m= 100 cm

The volume of the granite countertop in cubic centimeters is equal to

V=(100)(300)(4)\ cm^{3}

The density in kg per cubic centimeter is equal to

D=2.75(\frac{1}{1,000}) \frac{kg}{cm^{3}}

Multiply the density by the volume

2.75(\frac{1}{1,000})(100)(300)(4)

2.75(120)=330\ kg

The number of acres in a region cleared for farming follows the formula a = f (t) = 2t2 where t is the number of months since th
Anit [1.1K]

we are given

a=f(t)=2t^2

we can use average rate of change formula from t=a to t=b

A=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here, we are given from t=1 to t=4

so, we will get formula as

A=\frac{f(4)-f(1)}{4-1}

now, we can plug values

A=\frac{2(4)^2-2(1)^2}{4-1}

now, we can simplify it

A=10

the average rate of change in the number of acres cleared for farming between t = 1 and t = 4  is 10 acres/ month.............Answer

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (–5, 1)? Check all that ap
Bond [772]

So the right options are:

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

2x+5y = -5

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

2x+5y=10

We have to convert it into point-slope form

2x+5y=10\\5y=-2x+10\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{10}{5}\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+2

The co-efficient of x is the slope of the line

So,

m= -\frac{2}{5}

As the required line is parallel to given line, it will also have same slope.

Let m1 be the slope of required line

Then the line will be:

y=m_1x+b

Putting the value of slope

y=\frac{2}{5}x+b

Putting (-5,1) in the equation to find the value of b

1=-\frac{2}{5}(-5)+b\\1=2+b\\b=1-2\\b=-1

Putting the values of slope and b in equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

Multiplying the whole equation by 5 will give us:

5y = -2x-5

2x+5y = -5

Another form of equation of line is Point-slope form

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Putting the values of slope and point in the equation, we get

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)

So the right options are:

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

2x+5y = -5

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)
