<h2><em>ANSWER </em><em>BELOW:</em><em>-</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability describes how likely an event is to occur. We know that a coin is equally likely to land heads or tails, so the theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2. Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment.

EXAMPLE-

Theoretical probability:

For instance, since a flipped coin has two sides and each side is equally likely to land up, the theoretical probability of landing heads (or tails) is exactly 1 out of 2.

Experimental probability:-

For example, the probability of getting a head if you flip a coin is ½, since only 2 things could happen (a head or a tail) and each one has an equal chance of occurring.

mark me as brainliest if possible. :)

Select the correct answer.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. $x^2 + 3x - 88$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = $length (l) * width (w)$

Length of rectangle = (x - 8)

Width = (x + 11)

Area of rectangle = $(x - 8)(x + 11)$

Expand the expression

$x(x + 11) -8(x + 11)$ (distributive property of multiplication)

$x^2 + 11x - 8x - 88$

Combine like terms

$x^2 + 3x - 88$

Expression for the area of the rectangle = $x^2 + 3x - 88$

Use radical notation to rewrite each expression and simplify<br> 9 3/2

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

$9^{\frac{3}{2}}=\sqrt{9^3}=27$

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractional exponent m/n is often translated to radical form as ...

$x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}$

In this case, I find it easier to evaluate as ...

$x^{\frac{m}{n}}=(\sqrt[n]{x})^m=\boxed{(\sqrt{9})^3=3^3=27}$

Find the length of the leg(s) of a right triangle, to the nearest hundredth, if both legs are equal and the hypotenuse is 10.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

7.07 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle:

$\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}_1^2+\text{leg}_2^2,\\ \\c^2=a^2+b^2.$

If a = x, b = x, and c = 10, then

$10^2=x^2+x^2,\\ \\100=2x^2,\\ \\x^2=50,\\ \\x=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.07\ units.$

Explain the difference between a unit rate and a percentage

love history [14]

Answer:

Ratio is the proportion between two numbers.

Percent is the ratio times 100.

Rate is the change of a number per unit time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.A rate refers to the frequency by which a certain event happens while a ratio refers to the relationship between the size, number, or degree of two or more things.

2.A rate is a comparison between two measurements of the same units while a ratio is the proportion of one thing to another.

3.A rate refers to the fixed quantity of two things while a ratio refers to the relationship between various things.

4.A ratio indicates the difference between things while a rate indicates the changes in their measurements or units.

5.A ratio is indicated by the quotient of one quantity divided by the other while a rate is indicated by the comparison between two things.
