Answer:

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> total miles walked by Jada

y----> total miles walked by Elena

z----> total miles walked by Lin

we know that

$x+y+z=37$ -----> equation A

$x=y+4$ -----> $y=x-4$ ------> equation B

$z=x+2$ ------> equation C

Substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x+(x-4)+(x+2)=37$

$3x=37+2$

$3x=39$

$x=13\ mi$

Find the value of y

$y=13-4=9\ mi$

Find the value of z

$z=13+2=15\ mi$

therefore

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

A box contains 24 transistors,4 of which are defective. If 4 are sold at random,find the following probabilities. i. Exactly 2 a

zavuch27 [327]

SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}$

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{5}{6})^4=\frac{625}{1296} \\ =0.4823 \end{gathered}$

hence the answer is 0.4823

(iii) All are defective

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{1}{6})^4=\frac{1}{1296} \\ =0.00077 \end{gathered}$

(iv) At least one is defective

This is 1 - probability that none is defective

$\begin{gathered} 1-\lparen\frac{5}{6})^4 \\ =1-\frac{625}{1296} \\ =\frac{671}{1296} \\ =0.5177 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.5177

Tim has an irregularly shaped garden, as shown below. What is the area of his garden (in square feet)?

Grace [21]

Answer is 174 ft2.

Area of triangle: 24 ft2

First, find the horizontal side of the triangle (using pythagorus).
16-10=6
root10^2 - 6^2 = 8 ft

Then work out the area of the triangle.
(8 x 6)/2 = 24 ft2

Secondly, find the area of the rectangle.
10 x 15 = 150 ft2

Then add up the area of the triangle and rectangle.

150+24= 174 ft2

How do you determine if a given set of measurements works for the side lengths of a triangle? (It should be a number)

zaharov [31]

Add them all up and if they add up to 180 then your side lengths are good
