Answer:

248

Step-by-step explanation:

A car rental company rented out 8 cars in its first month.

The number of cars it rented doubled each month.

The given situation forms G.P.

a = first term = 8

r = common ratio = 2

Formula of sum of first nth term in G.P. = S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}

Now we are supposed to find total number of cars the company rented out for the first 5 months.

Substitute n = 5

S_5=\frac{8(1-2^5)}{1-2}

S_5=248

Hence the total number of cars the company rented out for the first 5 months is 248.

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is upper s equals { 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4
Softa [21]

You can think of this experiment as follows: you have to select a random number between 1 and 15, where each number is equally likely to appear.

Player A wins if 3,4,5 or 6 are picked.

Player B wind is 10,11 or 12 are picked.

Two events are said to be mutually​ exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time. So, in our metaphor, the question is: can we pick a particular number, so that both players win simultaneously?

The question is no, because if player A wins, we have picked 3,4,5 or 6, and player B wins with none of these numbers.

Similarly, if player B wins, we have picked 10, 11 or 12, and player A wins with none of these numbers.

So, the two events cannot occur simultaneously.

If you want to be more formal, since the events are subset of the sample space, two events are mutually exclusive if their intersection is the empty set, and this is the case:

A \cap B = \{3,4,5,6\}\cap\{10,11,12\} = \emptyset

In triangle ABC, (angle A) is a right angle and (m angle B) = 45deg.
Ratling [72]
We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to x \sqrt{2}, and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to 16 \sqrt{2} ft
