Damien is competing in both swimming and running at a competition. After analyzing himself and his competitors, he knows that he has a 65% chance of winning at swimming and an 85% chance of winning at running. What is the probability that he will win the running event, but lose the swimming event?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving:

Swimming

[tex]P(Win[Swim])= 65\%[/tex]

Running

[tex]P(Win[Run])= 85\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of winning at running and losing at swimming

First, we calculate the probability of losing at swimming using

[tex]P(Win) + P(Lose) = 1[/tex]

Substitute 65% for P(Win)

[tex]65\% + P(Lose[Swim]) = 1[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 1 - 65\%[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 35\%[/tex]

The required probability is then calculated using:

[tex]Probability = P(Win[Run]) * P(Lose[Swim])[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 85\% * 35\%[/tex]

Convert to decimal

[tex]Probability = 0.85 * 0.35[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

A Petri dish is growing bacteria. It starts with 3 cells on day 1, 9 cells on day 2, and continues tripling the number of cells every day after that. How many cells of bacteria are there on day 5? 3 5 5 3 15 18

Answers

Answer:

243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Day 1 = 3

Day 2 = 9

After the 2nd day, number of cells continue to triple ;

Day 3 = 9^3

P(t) = 9 * 3^3

P(t) = 9 * 27

= 243

Answer:

  BD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be used twice:

  BC^2 + AC^2 = AB^2

  BC = √(AB^2 -AC^2) = √(25^2 -24^2) = √49 = 7

__

Likewise, ...

  DC = √(AD^2 -AC^2) = √(26^2 -24^2) = √100 = 10

Then ...

  BD = BC +DC = 7 + 10

  BD = 17

chloe is 5 feet 4 inches tall. there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. what is chloe's height in centimeters?

Answers

Answer:

Her height would be 162.56 centimeters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot so that would mean that 1 foot has 30. 48 centimeters.

30.48 x 5 = 152.4

Add the 4 extra inches so 4 inches in centimeters is 10.16

152.4 + 10.16 = 162.56

Scientists are drilling a hole in the ocean floor to learn more about the Earth's history Currently, the hole is in
the shape of a cylinder whose volume is approximately 4200 cubic feet and whose height is 4.3 miles. Find
the radius of the hole to the nearest hundredth of a foot. (Hint: Make sure the same units of measurement are
used.)
The radius of the hole is
feet. (Round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer:

The radius of the hole is 0.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the miles to feet

Mathematically;

1 mile = 5,280 feet

4.3 miles is thus;

4.3 * 5,280 = 22,704 feet

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is;

V = pi * r^2 * h

here, we want to get r

4200 = 3.142 * r^2 * 22,704

r^2 = 4200/(3.142 * 22,704)

r = 0.24 feet

The beginning balance here is $0 and the closing balance is $15.

There were 2 transactions, one credit and one debit.

For the closing balance to be $15, the Credit amount must have been $15 more than the Debit amount.

Evaluating the piecewise function when X =3, we get f(3) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following piecewise function

f(x)= { 2x+1; where x > 0

         -3 when x ≤ 0

Evaluate the function when X = 3

We will evaluate f(x) =2x+1 where x > 0, because x = 3 and 3 <0

We can't use -3, because x ≤ 0, and 3 is not less than 0.

Now, evaluating the function:

[tex]f(x)=2x+1\\Put\:x=3\\f(3)=2(3)+1\\f(3)=6+1\\f(3)=7[/tex]

So, Evaluating the piecewise function when X =3, we get f(3) = 7

What are all the variables of x y and z ?

Answers

Answer:

x°=96°

y°=88°

z°=151°

Step-by-step explanation:

55°+29°+×°=180°

×°=96°

96°+55°=z°

z°=151

then let variable A° be one of the inner angle of the triangle

A°+z°=180°

A°+151°=180°

A°=29°

finally adding all the inner angles will give us 180°

96°+y°-13°+29=180°

y°=88°
