On a spinner, there are twenty equal-size sections numbered from 1 to 20. Which spinner game is fair? Show your work.

1 answer:

5 0

The spinner game is an illustration of probability, and the spinner game that is fair is (b) If you spin a number greater than 10, you win.

<h3>How to determine the fair game?</h3>

The number of sections in the spinner is given as:

n = 20

There are 10 numbers greater than 10 i.e. 11 to 2.

So, the probability that a number greater than 10 is spun is:

P = 10/20

P = 0.5

The probability that a number that is not greater than 10 is spun is calculated using the following complement rule

q = 1 - p

This gives

q = 1 - 0.5

Evaluate

q = 0.5

Notice that both probabilities are the equal

Hence, the spinner game that is fair is (b) If you spin a number greater than 10, you win.

Sarah kicked a ball in the air. The function

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:

$f=30 t- 6t^{2}$ (1)

Where $f$ models the height of the ball in meters and $t$ the time.

Now, let's find the time $t$ when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when $f=0 m$ ):

$0=30 t- 6t^{2}$ (2)

Rearranging the equation:

$6t^{2}-30 t=0$ (3)

Dividing both sides of the equation by $6$ :

$t^{2}-5 t=0$ (4)

This quadratic equation can be written in the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , and can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (5)

Where:

$a=1$

$b=-5$

$c=0$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(0)}}{2(1)}$ (6)

Solving we have the following result:

$t=5 s$ This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.
