Answer:

A.) -9

Step-by-step explanation:

it is observed that triangles ABL and KML are similar triangles

hence the following ratios are valid:

LA / LK = LB/LM = AB/KM

we can see that LA/LK = LB/LM = 1/2

hence the above ratio becomes

1/2 = AB/KM (rearranging)

KM = 2AB

We are given that KM = (x + 21) and AB = (x + 15)

hence

KM = 2AB

(x + 21) = 2 (x + 15)

x + 21 = 2x + 30

x - 2x = 30 - 21

-x = 9

x = -9

7. Answer is D! 1 to the 3rd power, 1^3, or 1 cubed as you'll hear it, is 1 because when something is cubed that means it's times itself 3 times. (EX: 4^3 = 4x4x4) 2 cubed is 8. 3 cubed is 27. 4 cubed is 64 and 5 cubed is 125!

8. Answer is C! A is gaining speed and B is the capped speed, meaning it can't get any higher, and C is the loss of speed.

The table displays the number of students in each grade at Richmond High School who will or will not be attending the amusement

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 24.53\% \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a joint probability table.

There are four different graders in a school

1. Grade Ninth

2. Grade Tenth

3. Grade Eleventh

4. Grade Twelfth

Field trip refers to the students who will attending the amusement park field trip.

No field trip refers to the students who will not be attending the amusement park field trip.

We want to find out the probability that the selected student is an eleventh grader given that the student is going on a field trip.

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)}$

Where P(eleventh and FT) is the probability of students who are in eleventh grade and will be going to field trip

$P(eleventh\: and \: FT) = \frac{13}{92} \\\\P(eleventh \: and \: FT) = 0.1413$

Where P(FT) is the probability of students who will be going to field trip

$P(FT) = \frac{12}{92} + \frac{9}{92} + \frac{13}{92} + \frac{19}{92}\\\\P(FT) = 0.1304 + 0.0978 + 0.1413 + 0.2065\\\\P(FT) = 0.576 \\\\$

So the required probability is

$P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{0.1413}{0.576} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= 24.53\% \\\\$
