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.

Two more than a certain number is 15 less than twice the number. Find the number

Svetllana [295]

2+x=2x-15
>> 2+15=2x-x
>> 17 = x

So the answer is <u>17</u>

I'm pretty sure to solve this all you do is subtract 77.95 - 75.65, which would be 2.30. Hope that helps!

the vertex of this parabola is at (3,5). When the y-value is 6, the x-value is -1. What is the coefficient of the squared term i

otez555 [7]

Now, assuming is a vertical parabola, so the squared variable is the "x", let's do some checking.

$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex
\begin{cases}
h=3\\
k=5
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-3)^2+5
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=6\\
x=-1
\end{cases}\implies 6=a(-1-3)^2+5
\\\\\\
1=a(-4)^2\implies 1=16a\implies \cfrac{1}{16}=a$
