Answer:

28.57% probability that the speed of a car is between 17 and 23 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X between c and d is given by the following formula:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

14 to 35 mph and is uniformly distributed.

This means that a = 14, b = 35

What is the probability that the speed of a car is between 17 and 23 mph?

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

P(17 \leq X \leq 23) = \frac{23 - 17}{35 - 14} = 0.2857

28.57% probability that the speed of a car is between 17 and 23 mph

Answer:

 ∠STU = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle with vertex T is called an "inscribed angle." It intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the inscribed angle (T) is half the measure of the arc SU.

Point V is taken to be the center of the circle. The angle with vertex V is called a "central angle." It also intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the central angle (V) is equal to the measure of arc SU.

__

Using these two relationships together, we realize angle V is twice the measure of angle T:

  ∠SVU = 2×∠STU

  18x +12° = 2(18x -57°) . . . . . . relationship between the marked angles

  18x +12° = 36x -114° . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  126° = 18x . . . . . . . . . . . add 114°-18x

  ∠STU = 18x -57° = 126° -57°

 ∠STU = 69°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may notice we did not solve for x. We only needed to know the value of 18x, so we stopped when we found that value. (Actually, we only need the value of 18x-57°. See below.)

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>:

  (18x +12°) -(18x -57°) = 18x -57° . . . . . . . subtract 18x -57° from both sides of the first equation.

  69° = 18x -57° . . . . . simplify. This is the answer to the problem.

What fraction is equal to 3 1/9 ?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

28/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to convert the given question into improper fraction before solving

So let's solve the question

3 1/9

Can be written as 28/9 which is improper fraction

Since there's nothing that can be used to divide both the numerator and denominator

Then our final answer is 28/9

But in the case where the fraction can be divided we can actually solve further
