Answer:

B.) square root of 2

E.) -0.54

G.) 5/3

H.) 1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability of an event is how likely the event is to occur. It is always positive values, between 0% and 100%, or as decimals, between 0 and 1.

A.) 1

Can be a probability

B.) square root of 2

The square root of 2 is 1.41. 1.41 is higher than 1, so square root of 2 cannot be a probability

C.) 0

Can be a probability

D.) 0.04

0.04 = 4%

Can be a probability

E.) -0.54

Negative values cannot be probabilities

F.) 3/5

3/5 = 0.6 = 60%

Can be a probability

G.) 5/3

5/3 = 1.67

Higher than 1, so cannot be a probability

H.) 1.29

Higher than 1, cannot be a probability

the midpoint of a horizontal line segment is at x=1 if the length of the line segment is 10.5. what absolute value equation coul

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: -4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment is located at the same distance of each of the endpoints of the segment.

The midpoint is at x = 1.

The length of the segment is 10.5, if we divide it by two we have:

10.5/2 = 5.25

Now, if we want the endpoints to be at the same distance of the midpoint, then the endpoints will be:

Xmax = midpoint + 5.25

Xmin = midpoint - 5.25

Then the extremes are:

Xmax = 1 + 5.25 = 6.25

Xmin = 1 - 5.25 = -4.25

Then this segment can be written as:

Xmin ≤ x ≤ Xmax

-4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25

(a) Use the definition to find an expression for the area under the curve y = x3 from 0 to 1 as a limit. lim n→∞ n i = 1 Correct

Luba_88 [7]

Splitting up the interval of integration into $n$ subintervals gives the partition

$\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]$

Each subinterval has length $\dfrac{1-0}n=\dfrac1n$ . The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence

$r_i=\dfrac in$

with $i=1,2,3,\ldots,n$ . Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{{r_i}^3}n$

and taking the limit as $n\to\infty$ gives the area exactly. We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac in\right)^3=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4n^3}=\boxed{\frac14}$

A textbook store sold a combined total of 426 math and sociology textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 88 m

SOVA2 [1]

Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.

m=s+88 we are also told that:

m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:

s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side

2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides

2s=338 divide both sides by 2

s=169, since m=s+88

m=169+88=257

So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.

When josh planted his bean plant, it stood only 2 inches tall. Since then it has grown 3.25 inches every two weeks. Write the eq

inessss [21]

Answer:

y=3.25x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is the total height after x weeks and since it has grown 3.25 inches per 2 weeks it would be 3.25x and add 2 because the initial height is 2 inches
