There are two possibilities, and we don't know which situation is true.

<em>#1).</em>  School is in the middle, between home and grandparents. 

Home --------- 3/8 ----------- School --------- 2/8 ------- Grandparents .

If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks

(3/8 + 2/8 + 2/8 + 3/8) = 10/8  =  <u>1.25 miles</u> .

===========================================

<em>#2):</em>  Grandparents house is in the middle, between home and school.
Tasha passes by them on her way to school, and stops there to visit
on her way back home.

Home ------- 1/8 ------- Grandparents ---------- 2/8 ---------- School

If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks

   (3/8 + 2/8 + 1/8) = 6/8  =  <u>3/4 mile</u> .

No she doesnt but it was very close i know this because 2/8+2/8= 4/8 +3/8=7/8

x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0
Factorise the equation
Products are -6 and 4
(x-6) (x+4) = 0
x = 6 and x = -4

A quiz-show contestant is presented with two questions, question 1 and question 2, and she can choose which question to answer f
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The contestant should try and answer question 2 first to maximize the expected reward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of getting question 1 right = P(A) = 0.60

Probability of not getting question 1 = P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

Let the probability of getting question 2 right be = P(B) = 0.80

Probability of not getting question 2 = P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

To obtain the better option using the expected value method.

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where pᵢ = each probability.

xᵢ = cash reward for each probability.

There are two ways to go about this.

Approach 1

If the contestant attempts question 1 first.

The possible probabilities include

1) The contestant misses the question 1 and cannot answer question 2 = P(A') = 0.40; cash reward associated = $0

2) The contestant gets the question 1 and misses question 2 = P(A n B') = P(A) × P(B') = 0.6 × 0.2 = 0.12; cash reward associated with this probability = $200

3) The contestant gets the question 1 and gets the question 2 too = P(A n B) = P(A) × P(B) = 0.6 × 0.8 = 0.48; cash reward associated with this probability = $300

Expected reward for this approach

E(X) = (0.4×0) + (0.12×200) + (0.48×300) = $168

Approach 2

If the contestant attempts question 2 first.

The possible probabilities include

1) The contestant misses the question 2 and cannot answer question 1 = P(B') = 0.20; cash reward associated = $0

2) The contestant gets the question 2 and misses question 1 = P(A' n B) = P(A') × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.8 = 0.32; cash reward associated with this probability = $100

3) The contestant gets the question 2 and gets the question 1 too = P(A n B) = P(A) × P(B) = 0.6 × 0.8 = 0.48; cash reward associated with this probability = $300

Expected reward for this approach

E(X) = (0.2×0) + (0.32×100) + (0.48×300) = $176

Approach 2 is the better approach to follow as it has a higher expected reward.

The contestant should try and answer question 2 first to maximize the expected reward.

Hope this helps!!!

70 POINTS SIMPLE QUESTION ...im just dumb PLEASE HELP...
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A dilation of 2 about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see in the original figure the points are half the points of the transformed figure.

For example the coordinates of H are (0.5,0)

The coordinates of H' are (1,0)

Since 0.5 * 2 = 1

There is a dilation of 2 about the origin.
