Probability is given by the formula:
Probability=(number of favorable outcomes)/(Total number of possible outcomes)
thus;
Given that t<span>he frequency table was made using a bag containing slips of paper that are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
then:
1] Probability of obtaining 1
Number of favorable outcome=4
Total number of outcomes=(4+12+20+32+12)=80
P(1)=4/80=0.05

2]Probability of obtaining a 2
Number of favorable outcomes=12
thus
P(2)=12/80=0.15

3] Probability of obtaining a 3
Number of favorable outcomes=20
thus
P(3)=20/80=0.25

4] Probability of obtaining a 4
Number of favorable outcomes=32
thus
P(4)=32/40=0.8

5] Probability of obtaining a 5
Number of favorable outcomes=12
thus
P(5)=12/80=0.15</span>

Your friend is trying to calculate the height of a nearby oak tree. You tell him that you learned how to use similar triangles i

elena-s [515]

Answer:

59.38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The person and his shadow form a triangle. The tree and its shadow also form a triangle. The triangles are similar triangles, so the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.

Let the unknown tree height be h.

(person's height)/(person's shadow) = (tree height)/(tree's shadow)

(75 in.)/(48 in.) = h/(38 ft)

(25)/(16) = h/(38 ft)

16h = 25 * 38 ft

16h = 950 ft

h = 59.375 ft

h = 59.38 ft

Identify Relationships. Do the numbers show a pattern? 11.23,10.75,10.3,9.82,9.37,8.89

Alexxandr [17]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Yes. The pattern is predicted by the formula ...

f(x) = -0.465x +11.68 +0.015·mod(x, 2)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Initial investigation</em>

The predictions from a line of best fit alternate being too low and too high. That is to say, every other point fits perfectly on a line, and the alternate points fit perfectly on a parallel line.

<em>Line through alternate points</em>

If we use x=1, 2, 3, ... for the number of the member of the sequence, then we have ....

(x, f(x)) = (2, 10.75), (4, 9.82), (6, 8.89)

These points describe a line that can be found using the two-point form of the equation for a line:

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

y = (9.82 -10.75)/(4 -2)·(x -2) +10.75 . . . . . using the values from the first two even-numbered points

y = (-0.93/2)·(x -2) +10.75 . . . . . . . . . . simplify a bit

y = -0.465x +11.68 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify to slope-intercept form

<em>Correction for other points</em>

We know that this predicts a value too low when x is odd. We can find the amout the prediction is low and add a conditional term to make up the difference.

For x = 1,

y = -0.465·1 +11.68 = 11.215

The actual value is 11.23, or 11.23 -11.215 = 0.015 higher than the equation predicts. We can use the modulo function to give a value that is 1 for odd numbers and 0 for even numbers. For odd values of x, we can add this difference to make the formula predict every number in the sequence.

f(x) = -0.465x +11.68 +0.015·mod(x, 2) . . . . equation for the given points

_____

The table attached shows the given points (y1) and the values predicted using the above formula (f(x1)). (The x1 and y1 used in the attachment are the names of the lists of x-values and y-values. They are not related to the x1 and y1 used above in the 2-point form of the equation for a line.)
