Answer:

Taylor = 50%

Moore = 25%

Jenkins = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there are no other candidates and that someone has to win the election, the probabilities of Taylor, Moore, and Jenkins winning the election must add up to 1 or 100%.

T+M+J = 1\\

Since Moore and Jenkins have about the same probability of winning, and Taylor is believed to be twice as likely to win as either of the others:

M=J\\T=2J\\J+J+2J=1\\J=0.25\\M=J=0.25\\T=2*0.25=0.5

Taylor has a probability of 50% of winning the election.

Moore has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

Jenkins has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

A jet plane has a takeoff speed of vto = 75 m/s and can move along the runway at an average acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. If the len
pishuonlain [190]
Initial velocity of the plane is Vo = 0.
acceleration a = 1.3 m/s2
total distance = 2.5 km = 2500m

time taken to reach 2.5 km with 1.3m/s^2 acceleration = t
S = Vo t + 0.5 a t^2
2500 = 0 + (0.5*1.3* t^2)
t^2 = 3846.15
t = 62 s

the maximum velocity plan can reach within 62 s is Vt
Vt = Vo + a t
Vt = 0 + (1.3*62)
Vt = 80.6 m/s

Since 80.6 m/s is greater than 75 m/s, plane can use this runway to takeoff with required speed.

In a week, 13 hens laid 65 eggs. What is the independent variable
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The hens are the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is something that isn't dependent on anything else. Whose laying the eggs? The hens right? So the number of eggs laid is dependent on the number of hens laying them. Basically the hens are the independent variable because the number of eggs is relying on the number of hens laying them.
