Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 coins total and 4 of them are nickels

if I take a coin out the probability that it WONT be a nickel is 3/7 or 0.57 because the total amount of coins is always the bottom number and 7- those 4 nickels would be 3. So therefore the answer would be D.

Find the average rate of change for the function f(x) =x^2 -6x+2 on the closed side interval (-5,2)
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

- 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [a, b ] = [ - 5, 2 ], thus

f(b) = f(2) = 2² - 6(2) + 2 = 4 - 12 + 2 = - 6

f(a) = f(- 5) = (- 5)² - 6(- 5) + 2 = 25 + 30 + 2 = 57 , thus

average rate of change = \frac{-6-57}{2-(-5)} = \frac{-63}{7} = - 9

Please help me out please
Elanso [62]

Answer:

400 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the square pyramid is

V = \frac{1}{3} area of base × height (h)

where h is the perpendicular height.

Consider the right triangle formed by a segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the base and the slant height ( the hypotenuse )

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

h² + 5² = 13²

h² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

h² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{144} = 12

Area of square base = 10² = 100, hence

V = \frac{1}{3} × 100 × 12 = 4 × 100 = 400

2. A statistics student plans to use a TI-84 Plus calculator on her final exam. From past experience, she estimates that there i
Anarel [89]

Answer:

  1. P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
  2. She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...

... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936

2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.

If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.

This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

_____

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)
