Answer:

62.3 miles per hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula is

$v=\sqrt{20L}$

Police use this formula to estimate the speed of a car, v , in miles per hour, based on the length, L , in feet, of its skid marks when suddenly braking on a dry, asphalt road.

It is given that car's skid marks is 194 feet at the scene of an accident.

We need to find the speed of car at the time of accident.

Substitute L=194 in the above formula.

$v=\sqrt{20(194)}$

$v=\sqrt{3880}$

$v=62.289646$

$v\approx 62.3$

Therefore, the speed of car is 62.3 miles per hours.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Ou)

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Probability distribution

X P(X)

0 1/8

1 3/8

2 3/8

3 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coin is tossed there are two outcomes head and tail. When three coins are tossed the possible outcomes are

Sample space=S={HTH,THH,TTH,HHH,HTT,THT,TTT,HHT}

The total number of outcomes is n(S)=8. The X be the random variable counting number of tails in each outcome and so X can take values as 0,1,2,3. The probabilities can be computed as P(X)=n(X)/n(S). The probabilities are calculated as under:

X Outcomes P(X)

0 HHH 1/8

1 HHT,THH,HTH 3/8

2 TTH,HTT,THT 3/8

3 TTT 1/8

The probability distribution of X is as under:

X P(X)

0 1/8

1 3/8

2 3/8

3 1/8

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is −34?

Zigmanuir [339]

Given:

The slope of a line is $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

To find:

The lines in the options are parallel, perpendicular or neither parallel nor perpendicular to the given line.

Solution:

We know that the slopes of parallel lines are equal.

The slope of line Q and the slope of given line are same, i.e., $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ . So, the line Q is parallel to the given line.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the line because the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

The slope of a line is $-\dfrac{3}{4}$ . It means the slope of the perpendicular line must be $\dfrac{4}{3}$ . So, the line N is perpendicular to the given line.

The slopes of line M and P are neither equal to the slope of the given line nor opposite reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Therefore, the lines M and P are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
