Answer:

14.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In a see-saw in equilibrium, the torque generated by one side needs to be the same generated in the other side. The torque is calculated by the product between the mass and the distance to the center of the see-saw.

The torque generated by the child is:

T1 = 60 * 3 = 180 lb*feet

So, the torque generated by the weight needs to be higher than T1 in order to lift the child.

The lowest mass is calculated when the mass is in the maximum distance, that is, 12.5 feet from the center.

So, we have that:

T2 = 180 = mass * 12.5

mass = 180/12.5 = 14.4 lb

So the lowest weight is 14.4 lb

Tony has $727.29 in his checking account. He must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. He wrote a check for $248.50 today. Wr

Let's say the least amount of money is "x", therefore whatever "x" is, it has to be "greater than or equals to 500", thus x ⩾ 500.

so, let's add "x" to the current balance including debts.

\bf x\ge 500
\\\\\\
\stackrel{minimum}{x}+\stackrel{current}{727.29}-\stackrel{\textit{cheque for payment}}{248.50}\ge 500\implies x+478.79 \ge 500
\\\\\\
x\ge 500-478.79\implies x\ge 21.21

A box has two balls, one white and one red. We select one ball, put it back in the box, and select a second ball (sampling with
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

P (T) = 1/4

P ( T | F )    = 1/2  = P(F)

The events are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F the event of picking the white ball first

P (F)= 1/2   ( picking the white ball first)

Let T be the event of getting the white ball twice,

P (T) = P( getting white ball) * P( getting white ball)

          =( 1/2)*(1/2)

           = 1/4

Here P(T∩F) = P(T) because the probability of getting the white balls is the same as probability of getting the white ball first  both the times.

P ( T | F ) = P (T∩F)/ P(F)

                = (1/4)/ (1/2)

                  = (1/2)

                    = 1/2  = P(F)

For the events to be independent the conditional probability P ( T | F )  must be equal to P(T).

Hence the events are not independent.
