<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

The probability is: 0.50

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Weight/Calories 1000-1500 1500-2000 2000-2500 Total

120 lb. 90 80 10 180

145 lb. 35 143 25 203

165 lb. 15 27 75 117

Total 140 250 110 500

We are asked to find the probability that a person consumes 1500-2000 calories in a day.

Total number of people who were surveyed=500

Total number of people who consume 1500-2000 calories in a day are:250

Hence, Probability is:

250/500=1/2=0.50

Answer: D. 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability :

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

The given two-way table :

Weight/Calories 1000-1500 1500-2000 2000-2500 Total

120 lb. 90 80 10 180

145 lb. 35 143 25 203

165 lb. 15 27 75 117

Total 140 250 110 500

To find the probability that a person consumes 1500-2000 calories in a day., we need :

a) The total number of people surveyed. (Total outcomes)

b) The number of people consume 1500-2000 calories in a day. (favorable outcomes)

From the above table,

Total people surveyed=500

Number of people consume 1500-2000 calories in a day are=250

Then , the required probability will be :-

$\text{P(person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day)}=\dfrac{250}{500}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=0.50$

Hence, the probability that a person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day=0.50

A parking lot is 20 feet long. One tortoise starts at the edge of the parking lot and moves at a rate of 6 feet per minute. Anot

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of parking lot = 20 feets

Speed of tortoise which starts at the edge = 6 feets per minute

Speed of tortoise which starts 4 feets from the edge = 2 feets per minute

Equation to represent when they will be in the same spot.

Distance = speed * time

Distance of Tortoise at edge = 6ft/min * t = 6t - - (1)

Distance of the other tortoise = (4 + 2t) - - - (2)

Equating both (1) and (2)

6t = 4 + 2t

6t - 2t = 4

4t = 4

t = 4/4

t = 1

Hence, they'll be at the same spot after 1 minute.

A new building in the shape of a square pyramid is to be constructed. The slant height will be five times the side length of the

Temka [501]

The area of the square pyramid building is the amount of space on it

The maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

<h3>How to determine the maximum side length?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b^2

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b^2

So, we have:

T = 10b^2 + b^2

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b^2

The maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b^2 = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b^2 = 50000/11

Take the square root of both sides

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

Which side of AXYZ is the longest?

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.

∠ Y = 180° - 60° - 43° = 180° - 103° = 77°

then ∠ Y is the largest angle in the triangle , so

side opposite ∠ Y is the longest , that is XZ

Anthony's Nuffin Shop recently sold 4 blackberry muffins and 6 other muffins. Considering

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, Antony sold 10 muffins. We can do a ratio like this:

$\frac{4}{10} = \frac{x}{20}$

Because there are 4 blackberry muffins. We solve.

Because 10 is directly half of 20, we can just multiply 4 by 2 because if you multiply 10 by 2, you'd get 20. 4 times 2 is 8. That's the answer.
