Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly you have to find the rate of change of the various price index in percentage.

A, From 106 to 112:

we find the difference 112-106 = 6

then the rate of change = 6/106 * 100 = 5.66%.

B ,From 112 to 118:

we find the difference 118-112 = 6

then the rate of change = 6/118 * 100 = 5.36%.

C ,From 118 to 124:

we find the difference 124-118 = 6

then the rate of change = 6/124 * 100 = 5.08%.

we can see that the price index with the greatest percentage is A.

The city of Orlando’s building a dog park in downtown Orlando dog park will be triangular shaped as shown on the coordinate plan

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Perimeter of the dog park = 15.4 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the vertices of the given triangle are,

P(1, 2), Q(1, 6), R(-4, 2)

Since distance between the two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

d = $\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Length of PQ = $\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(2-6)^2}$

PQ = 4

Length of PR = $\sqrt{(1+4)^2+(2-2)^2}$

PR = 5

Length of QR = $\sqrt{(1+4)^2+(6-2)^2}$

QR = $\sqrt{25+16}$

= $\sqrt{41}$

= 6.4 yards

Therefore, perimeter of the given triangle = PQ + QR + PR

= 4 + 6.4 + 5

= 15.4 yards

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

So

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$

There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

(b) What is the probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right?

This is: $P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.3955$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.2637$

$P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.6592$

There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

(c) What is the probability that she gets the majority of the questions right?

That is the probability that she gets 3, 4 or 5 questions right.

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.0879$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0146$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.001$

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 = 0.1035$

There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

kicyunya [14]

This is true.

Example:

= 8/9 ÷ 7/3
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 7/3

= 8/9 * 3/7

= (8*3)/(9*7)
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= 24/63
simplify

= 8/21

ANSWER: This is (A) true

Hope this helps! :)
