e following questions.
1. An analyst, Grace, gives Abbie a 12% chance to place first and Becca an 8% chance to place second. Assume these percentages are accurate. Can we determine the probability that Abbie will place first and Becca will place second? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, the events are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two events occurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B given A)

If the events are independent (event A does not affect the probability of event B), then P(B given A) = P(B).

However, these events aren't independent.  If Abbie places first, it affects the probability of whether Becca places second.

P(B given A) ≠ P(B)

P(B given A) ≠ 0.08

the large Square above has area 9 is divided into 9 smaller squares of equal area what is the length of how strong and bold
Kay [80]
If one square is divided into 9 smaller equal squares, then they have to be arranged in 3 lines of 3, that is 3 smaller equal squares per side of the original big square. That said, the area of the big square is equal to the multiplication of 3 small squares sides times 3 small squares sides, call x the length of the small squares.
So,
area = 9 = 3x*3x
9x^2 = 9
x^2 = 1
x = 1
therefore the smaller squares have sides of 1 unit

Which dimensions can create more than one triangle?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

three sides measuring 4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose which dimensions that can create more than one triangle, we consider the given values carefully and how possible it will be to construct.

The only dimensions given in the option that will be possible to create more than one triangle from it, is three sides measuring 4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft.

4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft are in simple multiple of 2

4 ft, 8 ft, and 10 ft  = 2 (2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft ), with this we can construct two triangles with three sides measuring 2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft.
