Question:

Eric and Joshua are playing ping pong and pool. Joshua believes he has a good chance of beating Eric in at least one of the games. The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is 0.48. The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is 0.46. Joshua is willing to assume the probability of Eric winning a game of ping pong is independent of him winning a game of pool.

Find the probability:

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool?

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool?

Answer:

P(pp & pool) = 22%

There is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

There is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is given by

P(pp) = 0.48

The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is given by

P(pool) = 0.46

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool is given by

P(pp & pool) = P(pp)×P(pool)

P(pp & pool) = 0.48×0.46

P(pp & pool) = 0.22

P(pp & pool) = 22%

Therefore, there is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool is given by

P(pp OR pool) = P(pp)×0.52 + P(pool)×0.54

Where 0.52 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the ping pong match (1 - 0.48 = 0.52)

Where 0.54 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the pool match (1 - 0.46 = 0.54)

P(pp OR pool) = 0.48×0.52 + 0.46×0.54

P(pp OR pool) = 0.25 + 0.25

P(pp OR pool) = 0.50

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

Therefore, there is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Question 4) Identify the surface area of the composite figure.
netineya [11]

The surface area of the composite figure is given by 730 sq.in

<h3>What are Composites ?</h3>

Composites are solid figures made up of basic shapes like rectangle , square and even of three dimensional figures like cube , cuboid etc.

It is given in the question to determine the area of the composite figure

Area of Cube is

Area = 6 * side²

Area = 6 * 4² = 96 sq.in

The surface area of the cuboid is equal to

Sum of surface area of all the sides

As the opposite sides are same

7x10x2 + 15x10x2 + 7x15x2

650 sq.in

As the surface area of the base of the cube is counted twice

Therefore it will subtracted from the total

96 + 650 - 4*4

=730 sq.in

Therefore the surface area of the composite figure is given by 730 sq.in

What equation can be used to show that the slope of the line is the same between any two points?
Blizzard [7]
If you think about slopes it will always be rise over run! Think of rise as climbing a mountain and run as in walking on the mountain you just climbed. In order to find an equation of any problem, you first need to look at a graph for your first clue. See if the line goes straight through the corners of certain places on the graph. If so than you just count rise over run!
In conclusion my thesis or solution for your question would be C.

Find the vertex of this function <br> f(x)= x^2+4x-12
sergij07 [2.7K]
F(x) = x² + 4x - 12

x = -b/2a
x = -(4)/2(1)
x = -4/2
x = 2

f(x) = x² + 4x - 12
f(2) = (2)² + 4(2) - 12
f(2) = 4 + 8 - 12
f(2) = 12 - 12
f(2) = 0

The vertex of the function is (2,0).
