Answer:

Cody was 148.5cm on the first day of school last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 0.1

165 x 0.1 = 16.5

165 - 16.5 = 148.5

For this case we have that Cody average 165cm in height and that represented 10% higher than last year.

Then, making a rule of three we have:

165cm ----------> 100%

x --------------------> 10%

Where "x" represents the cm that equals 10%

x = \frac {10 * 165} {100}\\x = 16.5cm

To know the height of Cody last year, we subtract:

165cm-16.5cm = 148.5cm

So, Cody had 148.5 cm on the first day of school last year.

Answer:

148.5cm

If the probability that your DVD player breaks down before the extended warranty expires is 0.034, what is the probability that
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

0.966

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability of DVD player breaking down before the warranty expires = 0.034

To find:

The probability that the player will not break down before the warranty expires = ?

Solution:

Here, The two events are:

1. The DVD player breaks down before the warranty gets expired.

2. The DVD player breaks down after the warranty gets expired

In other words, the 2nd event can be stated as:

The DVD does not break down before the warranty gets expired.

The two events here, have nothing in common i.e. they are mutually exclusive events.

So, Sum of their probabilities will be equal to 1.

\bold{P(E_1)+P(E_2)=1}\\\Rightarrow 0.034+P(E_2)=1\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=1-0.034\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=\bold{0.966}

Pls help, I really need this answer!!!!
podryga [215]
If you think about it, an octagon is made up of 8 triangles. So you first find the area of one triangle then multiply it by 8 for the total area:
A=1/2bh
A=1/2(9.9)(12)
A=59.4

59.4 x 8= 475.2

Therefore the total area for the octagon should be 475.2 units^2

Hope this helps !

2 • 2 = 4
