Q and R are independent events. If P(Q)= 1/8 and P(R)=2/5 find P(Q and R).

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: 1/20
To find P(Q and R), you have to multiply P(Q) by P(R) to get the probability that both events will occur. P(Q) = 1/8, and P(R) = 2/5, so when multiplied together, you get 2/40. This simplifies to 1/20, meaning P(Q and R) = 1/20.

In the parabola y = (x + 12 + 2, what is the vertex?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The vertex is the point (-6,-34)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

In this problem we have

$y=x^{2}+12x+2$

Convert in vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$y-2=x^{2}+12x$

Complete the square . Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$y-2+36=x^{2}+12x+36$

$y+34=x^{2}+12x+36$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$y+34=(x+6)^{2}$

$y=(x+6)^{2}-34$

The vertex is the point (-6,-34)

The boeing 747 airplane is 250 feet in length. If a model of this plane is 8 inches long , what scale was used to create this mo

cluponka [151]

Answer: The wingspan is 36 m.

Using a proportion to solve this, we write the scale factor as a ratio first: 19/38, since 19 is the size of the model's length and 38 is the real length. For the second ratio, we have 18 for the size of the model wingspan and x for the real wingspan:

19/38 = 18/x

Cross multiply:

19*x = 38*18

19x = 684
