Answer:

Choice 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The reading rate of Sam is 0.75 pages/minute.

i.e 30 pages/40 minutes

The reading rate of Bill is 0.5 pages/minute

The reading rate of Francine is 0.72 pages/minute

The reading rate of Leroy is 0.75 pages/minute which is the same as Sam's.

The measure of < A is 45 degree

VashaNatasha [74]

We are given $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle EFG$

The order of the letter sequence is important. The letters pair up based on how they are arranged. We see that A and E are the first letters of the sequences. So this means that angles A and E are the same measure

angle A = angle E

3x+20 = 5x-80

3x-5x = -80-20

-2x = -100

x = -100/(-2)

x = 50

Use this x value to find the measure of angle A

angle A = 3x+20

angle A = 3(50)+20

angle A = 150+20

angle A = 170 degrees

<h3>Therefore, the statement "the measure of angle A is 45 degrees" is <u>false</u>.</h3>

A bulletin board has a perimeter of 200 inches. Which expression expresses the area A(w) of the bulletin board as a function of

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

area A(w) of the bulletin board as a function of its width, w =[100-w]*w= 100w- $w^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the shape of the bulletin board is a rectangle,

then the perimeter of it = sum of all sides

= 2[length+width] = 2[l+w]

(let l: length, w : width )

so, 200 = 2[l+w]

100= l+w ( dividing both the sides by 2)

so, l= 100-w

area = length*width=l*w=[100-w]*w

therefore,area A(w) of the bulletin board as a function of its width, w =[100-w]*w= 100w- $w^{2}$

A raffle offers one $8000.00 prize, one $4000.00 prize, and five $1600.00 prizes. There are 5000 tickets sold at $5 each. Find t

Harman [31]

Answer:

The expectation is $E(1 )= -\$ 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first offer is $x_1 = \$ 8000$

The second offer is $x_2 = \$ 4000$

The third offer is $\$ 1600$

The number of tickets is $n = 5000$

The price of each ticket is $p= \$ 5$

Generally expectation is mathematically represented as

$E(x)=\sum x * P(X = x )$

$P(X = x_1 ) = \frac{1}{5000}$ given that they just offer one

$P(X = x_1 ) = 0.0002$

Now

$P(X = x_2 ) = \frac{1}{5000}$ given that they just offer one

$P(X = x_2 ) = 0.0002$

Now

$P(X = x_3 ) = \frac{5}{5000}$ given that they offer five

$P(X = x_3 ) = 0.001$

Hence the expectation is evaluated as

$E(x)=8000 * 0.0002 + 4000 * 0.0002 + 1600 * 0.001$

$E(x)=\$ 4$

Now given that the price for a ticket is $\$ 5$

The actual expectation when price of ticket has been removed is

$E(1 )= 4- 5$

$E(1 )= -\$ 1$
