Answer:

The probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row is 0.00309.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events that are not affected by the occurrence (or no occurrence) of other events. These events do not affect the probability of another even taking place.

For example, the events of winning a lottery and being late for work are independent or the events of taking a cab home and making dinner are also independent.

In this case we are provided that the probability that a certain state will be hit by a major tornado is, \frac{1}{18}.

Consider the event that a state was hit by the major tornado.

The event of the major tornado hitting a state a second time next year is not dependent on the fact that it had already hit that state last year.

The two events are independent.

Compute the probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row as follows:

P (Tornado hits twice) = P (Tornado in 1st year) × P (Tornado in 2nd year)

                                     =\frac{1}{18}\times \frac{1}{18}\\=0.00309

Thus, the probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row is 0.00309.

Joe has fraction 5 over 6 pound of bird seed. He needs fraction 1 over 3 pound to feed the birds daily. Which of the rectangle m
Semenov [28]

Since Joe has 5/6 pounds left and he only needs 1/3 pounds each day to feed the birds, therefore the number of remaining day’s worth of seed is:

days = (5/6) / (1/3) = 2.5

The remaining seed can run up to 2 and half days. This also means that after 2 days, he is remained with ½ of 1/3 pound. ½ of 1/3 pound is equivalent to 1/6 pound. Therefore the correct rectangle model to use is:

<span>Rectangle model divided into 3 equal sections, two sections are labeled one-third and one section is labeled one-sixth, equaling two and one-half days.</span>

the tens digit of a two digit number is 5 greater the units digit. If you subtract double the reversed number from it, the resul
likoan [24]

Given:

The tens digit of a two digit number is 5 greater the units digit.

If you subtract double the reversed number from it, the result is a fourth of the original number.

To find:

The original number.

Solution:

Let n be the two digit number and x be the unit digit. Then tens digit is (x+5) and the original number is:

n=(x+5)\times 10+x\times 1

n=10x+50+x

n=11x+50

Reversed number is:

x\times 10+(x+5)\times 1=10x+x+5

x\times 10+(x+5)\times 1=11x+5

If you subtract double the reversed number from it, the result is a fourth of the original number.

11x+50-2(11x+5)=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)

11x+50-22x-10=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)

40-11x=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)

Multiply both sides by 4.

160-44x=11x+50

160-50=11x+44x

110=55x

Divide both sides by 55.

\dfrac{110}{55}=x

2=x

The unit digit is 2. So, the tens digit is 2+5=7.

Therefore, the original number is 72.

azamat
The answer would be C because for every 1 inch, would be 8 miles, so we then multiply the inches by 8 to get to 8 inches, so we then multiply the miles by 8 and we get 64 miles.

D = 64 mi.
