A bus travels through the city and stops every mile. The first stop on the route is the 8th Avenue Coffee Shop, which is located

15 blocks east and 22 blocks north of the central station. The last stop on the route is the airport, which is located 25 blocks west and 36 blocks south of the central station. A student calculated the middle stop along the bus route to be located 20 blocks east and 29 blocks north of the central station. Evaluate the student’s answer.

Answer:Student calculation is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation :

Given the First stop is the 8th Avenue Coffee Shop, which is located 15 Blocks east and 22 blocks north of the central station

and the last stop on the route is 25 blocks west and 36 blocks south of the central station .

Lets take the First stop co-ordinates be (15,22)

and last stop co-ordinates (-25,-30)

So there mid-point is x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

x=\frac{15-25}{2}=-5

y=\frac{22-30}{2}=-4

Therefore middle stop is 5 blocks west and 4 blocks South

Thus calculated the middle stop incorrectly.

<span>The student apparently added numbers without taking into account direction. They seem to have added 15 and 25 and divided by 2 to get the horizontal component of the middle stop when they should have added 15 and -25 and divided by 2. A similar mistake was made on determining the vertical component. The middle stop should have been calculated as 5 blocks west and 7 blocks south of the central station. So your answer is C.</span>

An item is regularly priced at $37. Kira bought it at a discount of 35% off the regular price.

Marrrta [24]
The area of a square or a rectangle (which is the shape of any room in a house) is:

Area = width x length

So, in this case:

Area = 51 m x 26 m = 1326 Sq meters.  Which is pretty big if you ask me.

Anyhow, Ms Melcher needs to buy 1326 sq meters

A roulette wheel has 38 3838 slots, of which 18 1818 are red, 18 1818 are black, and 2 22 are green. In each round of the game,
Elina [12.6K]

The value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854

<h3>Probability</h3>

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The given parameters are:

  • n = 38 --- the number of slots
  • red = 18. --- the number of red slot
  • black = 18. --- the number of black slot
  • green = 2. --- the number of green slot

<h3>Individual probabilities</h3>

The probability that the ball lands on a red slot is calculated as:

p = \frac{18}{38}

Simplify

p= \frac{9}{19}

The probability that the ball does not land on a red slot is calculated as:

q = \frac{18+2}{38}

q = \frac{20}{38}

Simplify

q = \frac{10}{19}

<h3>Binomial probability</h3>

The value of P(R = 3) is then calculated using the following binomial probability formula

P(R = r) = ^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}

Where:

n = 7

r = 3

So, we have:

P(R = 3) = ^7C_3 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^{7-3}

P(R = 3) = 35 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^4

P(R = 3) = 0.2854

Hence, the value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854
