Answer:

The experimental probability that terry will win their next game is $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

While theoretical probability is the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, the experimental probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of trials of the experiment.

Out of 5 games jay wins 3

Now the experimental probability that terry will win their next game

= 1 - Probability of Jay winning the game----------------------(1)

Probability of Jay winning the game = $\frac{\text{number of occurrences of the event}}{\text{total number of trials made}}$

=> $\frac{3}{5}$ ----------------------------------------------------(2)

Substituting (2) in (1)

=> 1 - $\frac{3}{5}$

=> $\frac{5-3}{5}$

=> $\frac{2}{5}$

Answer: πr^2

Step-by-step explanation:

π is pie which is about 3.14

but you need to find the radius and square it is multiply it by itself (Example radius = 2 so 2x2=4)

then multiply the radius squared by π(pie) which is 3.14 or use a calculator.

John's car is stopped at a red light. When the light changes, the car accelerates to 45 miles per hour in 15 seconds. What is th

Ede4ka [16]

Initial velocity of John's car (V1) = 0 miles per hour
Final velocity of John's car (V2) = 45 miles per hour
Time taken for acceleration = 45 seconds
Then
Acceleration = (V2 - V1)/Time taken
   = (45 - 0)/15 miles per hour per second
   = 45/15 miles per hour per second
   = 3 miles per hour per second.
So the approximate rate of change in the miles per hour that John's car accelerated is 3 miles per hour per second. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A".

Please help with the question,

castortr0y [4]

The correct answer is x^2-2x+2=0

The explanation is shown below:

1. To solve the problem shown in the figure above, you must apply the following proccedure:

2. You have that the roots of the quadratic equation shown in the figure attached in the problem are:

x=-1±i

3. Then, you know the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations, which is:

(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

4. You can see in the figure that a=1 and c=2; then, by analizing this, you can conclude that the coefficient b is:

b=-2

5. Therefore, you can conclude tha the quadratic equation is:

x^2-2x+2=0

6. If you want to verify it, apply the quadratic formula to the quadratic equation shown above and you will obtain the roots shown in the figure.
