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.

If the squares are 4 inches then the height of the sides will be 4 inches, so you multiply the area of the base times 4!

A hallow metal pipe has an outer diameter of 3 inches and a thickness of 1/4 inch. The length of the pipe is 12 inches. Compute

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don"t really know the answer but i might have and explanation to help. Hollow everyday circular objects appear differently than drawn two-dimensional circles. Objects like pipes and hoses have two different diameters. The outside diameter measures the distance of a straight line from one point on the outside of the object, through its center, and to an opposite point on the outside. The internal diameter measures the inside of the object. Calculating the internal diameter depends on the outside diameter and the thickness of the outer circle.

Forty is no greater than the difference of a number and 2

GuDViN [60]

This can be written as:
$40 \leq n - 2$

"No greater than" does not necessarily mean less than, but it just means it cannot go over. So equal to or less than.

"The difference of a number and 2" can be represented as "n - 2"

If you were to solve this inequality, you would end up getting:
$42 \leq n$ or $n \geq 42$

Hope this helps! :)
