Six hundred paving stones were examined for cracks, and 20 were found to be cracked. The same 600 stones were then examined for

discoloration, and 29 were found to be discolored. A total of 562 stones were neither cracked nor discolored. One of the 600 stones is selected at random. Find the probability that it is cracked, discolored, or both.

Answer:

a) probability that is cracked=1/30 (3.33%)

b) probability that is discoloured = 29/600 (4.83%)

c) probability that is cracked and discoloured =  11/600 (1.83%)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that each stone is equally likely to be chosen then defining the events C= the stone is cracked , D= the stone is discoloured , N= the stone is neither cracked or discoloured, then

P(C)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 20 stones/600 stones = 1/30 (3.33%)

P(D)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 29 stones/600 stones = 29/600 (4.83%)

the probability that is discoloured and cracked is P(C∩D) , where

P(C∪D)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

and

P(C∪D)= 1- P(N)

thus

1- P(N)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D) -1

replacing values

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D)=562/600 + 20/600 + 29/600 -1= 611/600 -1 = 11/600

thus

P(C∩D)=  11/600 (1.83%)

Find the measures of EAF DAE and CAD

You have to build an equation to find the answer,

angles in a straight line add upto 180° 
so your equation would be,

12x+30°=180°
      -30    -30
=12x=150°
   ÷12  ÷12
=x=12.5°

now find the measures of the angles by using 12.5 as x.

angle EAF= 2x
                 =2×12.5
                 =25° degrees

angle DAE= 4x
                 =4×12.5
                 =50°degrees

angle CAD=6x
                 =6×12.5
                 =75°degrees

check,
30+25+50+75=180°degrees

hope this helps.......

Determine the measure of angle A, to the nearest degree.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

(a) 17°

(b) 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) sin A= 0.2896

to calculate for "A" check for sin inverse of 0.2896

A= sin^-1(0.2896) = 16.83

to the nearest degree A= 17°

(b) tan A = 4.7046

A= tan^-1(4.7046)

A = 77.99

to the nearest degree A = 78°

A bottle of water costs $1.50. Explain how you would make a graph of four ordered pairs to model the total cost of the water in
Vanyuwa [196]
Total cost = 1.50 per bottle
y = 1.50x
If x = 1, y = $ 1.50 (1,1.5)
If x = 2, y = $ 3.00 (2,3)
If x = 3, y = $ 4.50 (3, 4.5)
If x = 4, y = $ 6.00 (4, 6)
There are your 4 sets of ordered pairs to graph.
You could continue with more x-values to get more ordered pairs.
