Answer:

1/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 jacks out of 52 cards.  Since Margaret goes first, she has the chance to get any of the 4 jacks out of all 52 cards; this makes her probability

4/52 which simplifies to 1/13.

Airlines monitor the causes of flights arriving late. A total of 75% of flights are late because of weather, while 35% of flight
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

36% is the  joint probability that a flight arrives late because of weather and ground operations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

% of flight late because of weather = 0.75

% of flight late because of ground operation = 0.35

% of flight late because of both weather and ground operation = 0.10

The probability of joint probability that a flight arrives late because of weather and ground operations is equal to

p (A and B) + {P(A) * P(B)}

0.10 + (0.75 * 0.35)

0.36

or 36%

Mr. Jenning's physics class built different-shaped parachutes to see which shapes were more effective. The students tested the p
grigory [225]

The mean increases by 1.5 because every value is increased by 1.5, take this example.
{1, 3, 7, 9} has a mean of 5.
Add 1 to each value.
{2, 4, 8, 10} has a mean of 6.

Standard Deviation generally stays the same despite the change in values, because of it's equation is based on the mean and data values and the distance between them in the end do not change if ALL values in a data set increase/decrease by the same number.

Washer and dryer cost $784 combined. The washer cost $66 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

$425

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dryer cost x

and the dish washer cost y

x+y=784-----------1

y=x-66-------------2

put the value of y=x-66 in 1

x+x-66=784

2x= 784+66

2x=850

x=850/2

x=425

Hence the dryer cost $425

Bill, bob, and barry are hired to paint signs. in 8 hours bill can paint 1 sign, bob can paint 2 signs, and barry can paint 1 an
OLEGan [10]
Define rates at which the individuals paint.
Bill:  x = 1/8  signs/h
Bob: y = (2 signs)/(8 h) = 1/4  signs/h
Barry: z = (4/3 signs)/(8 h) = 1/6 signs/h

The job is to paint 2 signs, working together.

In the first 3 hours, the amount painted is
(x+y+z signs/h)*(3 h) = (1/8 + 1/4 + 1/6)*3 = 13/8 signs
Remaining: 2 - 13/8 = 3/8 signs

Barry quits.
In the next 1/2 hour (30 minutes), the amount painted is
(x + y signs/h)*(0.5 h) = (1/8 + 1/4)*0.5 = 3/16 signs
Remaining: 3/8 - 3/16 = 3/16 signs

Now Bob quits.
The time for Bill to finish the job is
(3/16  signs)/(1/8 signs/h) = 3/2 h

Answer: Bill finishes the job in 1.5 hours (or 1 hour, 30 minutes)
