The value of P(4, 6) when the two number cubes are tossed is 1/36

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

On each number cube, we have:

Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

The individual probabilities are then represented as:

P(4) =1/6

P(6) =1/6

The value of P(4, 6) when the two number cubes are tossed is:

P(4, 6) = P(4) * P(6)

This gives

P(4, 6) = 1/6 * 1/6

Evaluate

P(4, 6) = 1/36

Hence, the value of P(4, 6) when the two number cubes are tossed is 1/36

The scatter plot shows the study times and test scores for a number of students. How long did the person who scored 81 study?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option A

50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the diagram that the vertical axis represents the score obtained and the horizontal axis represents the study time.

To find out how many hours the person with a score of 81 studied, locate the point that is at a vertical distance of 81.

Now draw a vertical line from this point to the horizontal axis. Note that the vertical line traced intercepts the vertical axis at x= 50

Then the person who got a score of 81 studied 50 minutes

The answer is the option A

The focus of a parabola is (0, -3) and the directrix is y = 3. What is the equation of the parabola?

mart [117]

Focus has coordinates (0, a)
a = -3
Thus, 4a = 4(-3) = -12

Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:

$x^{2} = -12y$ or $y = -\frac{1}{12}x^{2}$
