Because the probability is uniform (equally likely) between 20 and 100 pounds, the probability distribution is uniform between 80 and 100 pounds, with the value 1/(100-20) = 1/80 chocolates/pound.

Let x =  random variable that represents pounds of chocolate consumed.
Therefore
P(x < 60) = (60 - 20)*(1/80) = 1/2.

Answer: The probability is 1/2.

Write the cosine ratio of angle b<br> and show work please
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The formula for cosine is adj/hyp. For angle B, 10 is the adjacent and 24 is the opposite. The hypotenuse ( in this case, 26) is the longest side. the ratio for angle b would be 10/26.

What is the answer of a^2+b^2-(a-b)^2
Alex787 [66]
2b^2. This is because you have a positive a^2 and a negative so they cross it one another so it just leaves the b’s.

What is the answer for this one ??
Arisa [49]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 3 + -7 < -4

    -4 < -4

        X

    this one isn’t a solution

B. 3 + -7 ≤ -4

   -4 ≤ -4

   this works, let’s try the other equation

   3(3) + 2(-7) < -5

    9 + -14 < -5

     -5 < -5

       X

     this one doesn’t work either, let’s go on to the next one

C. the first equation is the same as the first one in A, and that didn’t work, so we know that the whole thing doesn’t work and we don’t have to do any math

D. we know the first equation works because we did it in B

    let’s go on to the second equation

    3(3) + 2(-7) ≤ -5

     9 -14 ≤ -5

     -5 ≤ -5

      this works, so that means that both equations work and the whole thing works :)

The chair lift at Hoodoo ski resort travels 1/16 mile in 3/4 minute. What is the unit rate?
tankabanditka [31]
It is 12 (explanation: unit rate is per unit so 16/16 mile or 1 mile = x minutes so if you multiple 1/16 by sixteen and do the same on the other side (3/4 times 16), you get 20 (hope this helps!)
