4 0

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of two events happening we need to find the probability of each event happening first:

For the spinner there are 8 possibilites (landing 1, 2, 3...8) and we are looking for factors of 3 which are 1 and 3 (3 is prime) therefore:

The chance of landing a factor of 3 on the spinner is 2/8=1/4

For the head there are two possibilities (heads and tails) and only one event we want happening (heads), therefore:

The chance of landing on heads on a fair coin is 1/2

Now to find the chances of both events happening we must multiply them to find that:

(1/2) ⋅ (1/4) = 1/8 the chances of the event happening

The number of miles that Jenna cycled each week for a 7-week period is shown: 36, 42, 28, 52, 48, 36, 31 What is the median numb

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Median = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the median number of miles Jenna cycled, we must first rearrange the numbers. The rearranged numbers are:

28, 31, 36, 36, 42, 48, 52

The middle number is 36

The median it therefore = 36

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line 4x+7y=9?

o-na [289]

Answer: -4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, let's change the equation to slope-intercept form.

$4x+7y=9$ [subtract both sides by 4x]

$7y=-4x+9$ [divide both sides by 7]

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{9}{7}$

Now, we know the slope is -4/7.

A rectangle has a width of 9 units and a length of 40 units. What is the length of a diagonal? 31 units 39 units 41 units 49 uni

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you need to use the pythagorean thrm. Essentially, the diagonal and the width and length create a triangle, the diagonal being the hypothenuse. So the formula goes as $\sqrt[]{a^{2} +b^{2} }$ . the variable "a" being the length and the variable "b" being the width. So plug it in and there you have your answer!
