A company is considering purchasing the mineral rights to two different mountains. The probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to the first mountain is 0.55. The probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to the second mountain is 0.4. Assuming the decisions to purchase the mineral rights to each mountain are made independently, what is the probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to exactly one of the two mountains?
a. 0.4
b. 0.45
c. 0.51
d. 0.49

Answers

Answer 1

Using probability of independent events, it is found that the probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to exactly one of the two mountains is given by:

c. 0.51

If two events, A and B, are independent, the probability of both happening is the multiplication of the probability of each happening, that is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this problem, these following two events result in the rights of exactly one of the two mountains being bought:

First bought(0.55 probability), second not(0.6 probability).First not bought(0.45 probability), second bought(0.4 probability).

Hence:

[tex]p = 0.55(0.6) + 0.45(0.4) = 0.51[/tex]

Thus, option c is correct.

find the speed of the earth
worm

(I need to know how to lay it out as well)

Answers

Answer:

if the units is in m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

first work out using this triangle.

distance= speed x by time

so if we're trying to find out the speed we reaarange the triangle to :

   distance

---------------------

speed x   time

so speed = distance divided by time

distance = 45cm

divided by time = 90 seconds

But the units are cm and should be metres per second

change 45cm to m

that is 45cm = 45/ 100 = 0.45

0.45/ 90= 0.005cm

answer = 0.005 metres per second( m/s)

Answers

Answer:

5:3=8

3/8 x 120

3/1 x 15

3 x 15=45

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

sorry

You start by making an equation:

3x+5x=120

Then combine like terms

8x=120

Divide 8 by both sides

x=15

Now that we have that we can figure out how many children and adults there are

Children: 3x15=45 children
Adults: 5x15=75 adults

Also, you can type this in your calculator for a faster method

Children : 120 x(3/8) =45
because eight is the sum of the ratio 5+3

And Adults : 120 x(5/8)=75

So the answer to your question is 45 children.

the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 °, take away the right angle (90 °) and divide by three, and you find one of the unknown angles, you multiply it by 2 and you find the other unknown angle

A ball is thrown directly upward from height of 2 ft with an initial velocity of 24 ft/sec. The function is s(t)=-16 t^2+24t+2 give the height of the ball, in feet, t seconds after it has been thrown. Determine the time at which the ball reflects its maximum height and find the maximum height.

Answers

Answer:

time: 0.75 secondsheight: 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows you the maximum height of 11 feet is reached after 0.75 seconds.

__

A quadratic of the form ax² +bx +c has its vertex at x=-b/(2a). Here that means the time to the maximum height is ...

  t = -24/(2(-16)) = 24/32 = 3/4 . . . seconds to maximum height

The height at that time is ...

  s(3/4) = (-16(3/4) +24)(3/4) +2 = (-12 +24)(3/4) +2 = 9 +2

  s(3/4) = 11 . . . . feet at maximum height

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 6x^2-2x+14 and the length is x^2-x+8 what is the measure of the width?

Please help!!

Answers

Answer:

w = 2x^2-2x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula to find the perimeter is P=2l+2w, use this to set up your equation:

6x^2-2x+14 = 2(x^2-x+8) + 2w

Then, distribute the 2 to everything inside the parentheses.

6x^2-2x+14 = 2x^2-2x+16 + 2w

Subtract 2x^2-2x+16 from both sides, leaving you:

4x^2-4x+30 = 2w

Divide 2 from both sides.

2x^2-2x+15

The answer is 2x^2-2x+15

SAS∆LMN ~ ∆GHN

Step-by-step explanation:

If the long segments have the same ratio as the short segments, then corresponding sides of the large and small triangles are proportional.

  LG/MH = 12.5/10 = 1.25

  GN/HN = 40/32 = 1.25 . . . . so the triangles are similar

__

The proportional side pairs are LN and GN, MN and HN. Angle N is between those side pairs, so the SAS criterion applies.

Since corresponding vertices are (L, G), (M, H), and (N, N). ∆GHN will be similar to ∆LMN.

A group of 12 adults and 26 children go to a theme park.
The total cost of tickets is £1804.80.
An adult's ticket costs £51.60
Find the cost of a ticket for a child.

Answers

Answer:

I don't have the Pound Sterling sign on my keyboard but the answer is $45.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each adult ticket costs $51.60 and there are 12 adults

The total cost of adult tickets = $51.60*12=$619.20

Then take the total cost of tickets and subtract $619.20 from it

$1804.80-619.20=$1185.60 that's the total cost of children's tickets

Since there are 26 children you have to divide that answer by 26 to get it

$1185.60/26=$45.60

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 214. What are the numbers?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are consecutive even numbers, one is bigger by 2 than the other number.

so,

x + (x + 2) = 214

2x + 2 = 214

x + 1 = 107

x = 106

so, the 2 numbers are 106 and 108.

A boy is launching a toy rocket he got for his birthday from the top of an 80 ft building. The function representing

How many seconds did it take the rocket to reach it's maximum height?
A
144 sec
B)
2 sec
Eliminate
1.5 sec
D)
128 sec

Answers

Answer:

2 seconds, assuming the "?" in the equation is supposed to be ^2 (the exponent of 2):  f(h) = -16x^2 +64x + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either graph the functuion or take the first derivative to find the maximum height.  The first derivative will give us the slope for a values of x.  The slope at the top height of the rocket is zero, since it has stopped and is starting it's way back down.

First Derivative:

f(x) = -16x^2 +64x + 80

f'(x) = -32x + 64

Set this equal to zero and solve for x

0 = -32x + 64

x = 2 seconds.

Use 2 seconds in the original equation to find the height at 2 seconds.

f(2) = -16x^2 +64x + 80

f(2) = -16(2)^2 +64*(2) + 80

f(2) = 144 feet

A graph is attached.  You can locate the maximum at (2,144)

x + 3y = 5

Solve by using elimination​

Answers

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x has the same coefficient in both equations, so we can eliminate x by subtracting one equation from the other. We notice the y-coefficient is greater in the first equation, so we want to subtract the second equation. This will ensure that the remaining y-term has a positive coefficient. (That is not required by the elimination method, but it helps reduce mistakes.)

  (x +3y) -(x +2y) = (5) -(3)

  y = 2 . . . . . . . simplify

  x =3 -2y = 3 -2(2) = -1 . . . . . use the second equation to find x

The solution is (x, y) = (-1, 2).

Triangle is scalene (indicated by the 2 dashes on the triangle)

d = 64°

c = 58°

use either 180- (64+58)

which is angles in a straight line = 180 total

or

alternate angles

b = c = 58

f) x = 50°

alternate angles

y+z = 180-50

y+z = 130

we know that y = z

scalene triangle indicated by arrows (both bases are same angle)

so 130/2 = y and z

65 = y

65 = z

g) x = 55

alternate angles

on the diagram take the triangle which has x and y

you can see 95° outside the triangle, it’s on a straight line and will help us find the third angle for that triangle

180-95 = 85

180 - (85+55) = y

y = 40

z = y = 40

alternate angles

h)

180-78 = 102

beside angle a would be the angle 2a

alternate angles (look at the photo)

180 = 102 + a + 2a

180 = 3a + 102

78 = 3a

a = 26°

2a = 52

b = 26

use either alternate angles

a = b

or total angles in a triangle = 180°

102 + b + 56 = 180

b = 180-52-102
