Answer:

First, in standard notation, we must define our zero.

In this case, would make sense to define the zero in the surface of the water.

(below is a number line so you can see the process to think this)

Then if the whale is swimming 60ft bellow the surface of the water, then the first position of the whale is:

-60

Now the whale goes up 30ft, then the new position of the whale is:

-60ft + 30ft = -30ft.

The correct option is A:

The equation is -60 + 30 = -30. The whale is 30 feet below the water's surface.

(you wrote that the equation was equal to +30 instead of -30 in the option A, i supposed that it was a typo)

Winston's team participated in a total of 22 chess matches. Winston

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Peter Jonathan Winston (March 18, 1958 – disappeared January 26, 1978) was an American chess player from New York City

Step-by-step explanation:

In late 1977, Winston attended a FIDE-rated tournament at Hunter College High School in New York City. Despite being one of the highest-rated players in the tournament, Winston lost all nine of his games. A few months later, on January 26, 1978, following further surprising game losses, Peter Winston vanished and was never heard from again. According to some sources, Winston's disappearance occurred when he left his home without money, identification, or luggage during a severe winter storm. Many chess players who were close to or acquainted with Winston claim that the champion chess player's mental health had deteriorated, along with his game performance, in the last few years of his life, and that the decline in his mental health may have led to his disappearance.

Johnnas reading rate is 150 words per minute she is reading a 364 page book that has about 275 words on each page at this rate w

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

11 hrs 1 min (i think so based on math)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Johnna's reading rate is 150 words per min and there are 364 pages with about 275 words, you need to multiply 364 and 275 to get 100100 and divide that by 150 to get 667.3333333 round to the nearest tenth which will give you 667.3 and divide that by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour to get 11.12222222 and round that to the nearest tenth to get 11.1 which means it will take Johnna 11 hours and 1 minute to read the book. I hope this is correct I'm really sorry if it isn't. :P

Half of a set of the parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B. Ten percent of all the parts are defective. Six

baherus [9]

Answer:

The probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Half of a set of parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B.

P(A)=0.5

Let d represents the probability that part is defective.

Ten percent of all the parts are defective.

P(d) = 0.10

Six percent of the parts manufactured on machine A are defective.

P(d|A)=0.06

Now we need to find the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A, and given that the part is defective :

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(A \cap d)}{P(d)}$

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(d|A)\times P(A)}{P(d)}\\P(A|d)= \frac{0.06\times 0.5}{0.10}$

$P(A|d)= 0.3$

Hence, the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3
