Answer:

We cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds because we do not know the number of possible outcomes, the events , sample space or the sample size. Probability is calculated with frequency or occurrences or how much certainty there is.It is a number between 0 and 1. 1 indicates certainty and 0 indicates impossibility. Without a range or frequency how can we depict the possibility or impossibility of an occurrence of 200 pounds.

Answer:

$1\frac{7}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

Given data

On Monday, Jesse drank 3/4 of liter of water before jogging

and drank 3/5 of liter after jogging

In all, Jesse drank 3/4 and 3/5 liters of water

= 3/4+3/5

the lcm is 20

=15+12/20

=27/20

in mixed numbers(i.e a whole and a fraction together we have) we have

$1\frac{7}{20}$

Answer:

394.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cone's surface area is A = π r ( r + √r^2 + h^2 ).

r = radius

h = height

The Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, will be needed to find the height.

Plug in the values.

a(unknown)^2 + 6^2 = 15^2

A + 36 = 255

255 - 36 = 189

√189 ≈ 13.7

Surface area formula, plug in the values.

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √6^2 + 13.7^2 )

*PEMDAS*

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √36 + 187.69 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √223.69 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + 14.95 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 20.96 )

A = 3.14 × 125.76

A = 394.8864

*round to nearest tenth*

A = 394.9 cm

Hope this helps! :)

4(2x + 2) + 12 > 100

Komok [63]

Answer:

x > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x + 2) + 12 > 100

4(2x + 2) > 100 -12

4(2x + 2) > 88

2x + 2 > 22

2x> 22-2

2x > 20

x > 10

1. L(15. 1) is the midpoint of the straight line joining point (p. - 2) to point D(-1. q) find p and q.

kkurt [141]

1. The values of p and q are: p=31 and q= 4

2. B(11, 29/5)

Further explanation:

<u>1. L(15. 1) is the midpoint of the straight line joining point (p. - 2) to point D(-1. q) find p and q.</u>

Given:

M = (15. 1)

(x1, y1) = (p, -2)

(x2, y2) = (-1, q)

The formula for mid-point is:

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) = M \\Putting\ the\ values\\(\frac{p-1}{2} , \frac{-2+q}{2}) = (15,1)\\Putting\ realtive\ values\ equal\\\frac{p-1}{2} = 15\\p-1 = 15(2)\\p-1 = 30\\p = 30+1\\p = 31\\\frac{-2+q}{2} =1\\-2+q = 2(1) \\-2+q = 2\\q = 2+2 \\q =4$

Hence,

p=31

q=4

<u>2. M is the midpoint of the straight line joining point A (3. 1/5) to point B.If m has coordinates (7. 3), find the coordinates of B.</u>

Here,

(x1,y1) = (3, 1/5)

(x2, y2) = ?

M(x,y) = (7,3)

Putting values in the formula of mid-point

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) = M\\(\frac{3+x_2}{2} , \frac{1/5+y_2}{2}) = (7,3)\\\frac{3+x_2}{2} = 7\\3+x_2 = 7*2\\3+x_2 = 14\\x_2 = 14-3\\x_2 = 11\\\frac{\frac{1}{5}+y_2}{2} = 3\\{\frac{1}{5}+y_2} = 3*2\\{\frac{1}{5}+y_2} = 6\\y_2 = 6 - \frac{1}{5}\\y_2 = \frac{30-1}{5}\\y_2 = \frac{29}{5}$

So, the coordinates of point B are (11, 29/5) .
