The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.

The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.

The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99

There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.

vovikov84 [41]
From the diagram associated with this question it can be seen that the first bounce was 1 units high, thus the second bounce is 1 / 2 = 0.5 units high and the third bounce is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 = 1/4 units high.

Given that B represents the second bounce and C represents the first bounce, the <span>fractions in hundredths that should be written at points B is 0.50 while at point C is 0.25</span>

Which absolute value function, when graphed, represents the parent function, f(x) = |x|, reflected over the x-axis?
Gala2k [10]
Reflecting the point (x, y) over the x-axis transforms it to the point (x, -y). Then the points (x, f(x)) on the graph of f(x) will be transformed to (x, -f(x)) when the graph is reflected over the x-axis.

The reflection of the function f(x) = |x| is -f(x) = -|x|. If we name the reflected function f(x), we have
  f(x) = -|x|
