If the probability of a win is 0.02, and the probability of a draw is 0.8, what is the probability of a loss?

1 answer:

8 0

A probability is a number between zero and one.

There are 3 options win, lose or draw.
This means that (win + loss + draw = 1)

From the information given you know:
Win = 0.02
Draw = 0.8

So: 0.02 + loss + 0.8 = 1
Therefor loss = 1 - 0.8 - 0.02
loss = 0.18
final answer ^

Hope this helps, let me know if you don't get any of it!

In the diagram below, triangle abc ~ triangle dec . What is the value of x? A. 28 b. 24 c. 22 d. 26

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

$\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

Since, $\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

$\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}$

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = $\frac{1344}{48}$

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

A rectangular prism had a volume of 252 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 14 centimeters and the width of the prism

mojhsa [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

$V=L\times W\times H$

FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=3cm$

In fact, the volume is $252cm^3$ because:

$V=14\times 6\times 3 \therefore V=252cm^3$

Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:

FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=6cm$

So the new volume is:

$V=14\times 6\times 6 \therefore V=504cm^3$

<h3><em>What do we know about the volume of the new prism?</em></h3>

<em>Well, the volume has increased from </em> $252cm^3 \ to \ 504cm^3$ <em>and since</em> $504=2\times 252$ <em>we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.</em>

Answer:

x+y=37-------(1)

5.5x+13.5y=355.5-----(2)

Put x=37-y in eqn 2

5.5(37-y)+13.5y=355.5

203.5-5.5y+13.5y=355.5

8y=152

y=19

x=18
