Answer:

probability = 0.503

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

now = 1:00 p.m

last ghost appearance = 12:35 p.m

solution

we consider here Ghost appearances occur in house according to a Poisson process having a rate =  1.4 ghosts per hour

so time duration from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm = 0.30 min = 0.5 hrs

and we take random variable denoting inter-arrival time  = Y

so here probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m.  is as

probability = P(Y < 0.5)

probability = 1 - e^{-1.4 \times  0.5)

probability  = 1 - 0.497

probability = 0.503

Find the distance between the two points. Round your solution to 2 decimal points.
VashaNatasha [74]
Notice the grid, the points are (-5, -2) and (4, -1), thus

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -1}}~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~{{ -5}} &,&{{ -2}}~)&#10;\end{array}~~&#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{[-5-4]^2+[-2-(-1)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(-2+1)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-1)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{81+1}\implies d=\sqrt{82}

A square has a perimeter of 12x + 52 units. Which expression represents the side length of the square in units?
DochEvi [55]
1. Find the surface area of the rectangular prism. (1 point) 
<span>Measures are 2, 3, and 4 inches. Let W=2, L=3, H=4 </span>
<span>a rectangular has six sides, the total surface area is equal to 6 plains: </span>
<span>2*W*L + 2*L*H + 2*L*W </span>
<span>= 2*(W*L + L*H + L*W) </span>
<span>= 2 * (2*3 + 3*4 + 4*2) </span>
<span>= 2 * ( 6 + 12 + 8 ) </span>
<span>= 2 * 26 </span>
<span>= 52 ................... the last choice </span>

<span>2. A cube has a side length of x feet. Which expression represents the surface area of the cube? (1 point) </span>

<span>Area of one face = x^2, Total Area of 6 faces = 6*x^2 = 2x^2 units </span>


<span>3. Find the surface area of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for pi . (1 point) </span>
<span>Length: 15 cm, Diameter: 2 cm </span>
<span>A cylinder has 3 surfaces: two circles + one curved surface area </span>
<span>...... two circles of 2cm diameter (1cm radius) </span>
<span>A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*1*1 = 3.14 sq. cm ...... two circles' area = 6.28 sq.cm </span>
<span>Curved surface area = circumference * length </span>
<span>.... circumference = pi*d = 3.14 * 2 = 6.28 cm ......... length = 15 </span>
<span>curved surface area = 6.28*15 = 94.2 sq. cm </span>

<span>Add both for total surface area = 6.28 + 94.2 = 100.48 sq.cm </span>


<span>4. The bottom of a shopping bag measures 8 inches by 10 inches. The bag has a height of 12 inches. How much paper is needed to make the bag? (1 point) </span>
<span>two pieces of paper ... one for bottom = 8*10 = 80 sq.in </span>
<span>the other ... height * perimeter of the bottom = 12*(2*(10+8)) = 12 * 2 * 18 = 432 sq.in </span>
<span>Add both: 80 + 432 = 512 sq.in <<<<<<<<<<<</span>
