Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."

In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows

2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .

So the statement is true.

B)

"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."

This statement appears to be false based on information provided

No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year  has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.

C)

"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet. "

This statement prima-facie appears to be true  because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .

D )

"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"

this statement is true

as change in one year = .4

change in 5 years = 5 x .4

Answer:

A=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Set your equation up as following:

180=90+(x+37)+(x+67)

180=90+37+67+2x

180-90-37-67=2x

-14=2x

-14/2=x

-7=x

Angle A = x+37

A=-7+37

A=30

This is the 4th question
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a) There are 9 outcomes.

b) **i have attached the tree diagram**

c) 1/9

d) 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Both events (choosing a shirt and choosing pants) are not mutually exclusive (disjoint). Meaning that both events can occur at the same time.

a) For a sequence of two events in which the first event can occur <em>m</em> ways and the second event can occur <em>n</em> ways, the events together can occur a total of <em>m</em> • <em>n</em> ways. So for this problem, you would do 3 • 3 which equals 9.

b) **tree diagram is attached**

c) Because there are two different events occurring (choosing a shirt and choosing pants) you need to multiply using the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events : P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

The probability of event A occurring (choosing a red shirt) is 1/3 and the probability of event B occurring (choosing brown pants) is also 1/3.

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

d) You would do the same thing here as part c.

The probability of event A occurring (choosing a blue shirt) is 1/3 and the probability of event B occurring (choosing blue pants) is again 1/3.

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

I hope this was helpful!! :)
