There are 50 tickets in a raffle bag, and 10 of the tickets belong to Gary. A ticket is chosen at random, and the ticket owner's

name is read. The ticket is mixed back into the bag. Another ticket is chosen, and the ticket owner's name is read.
What is the probability that Gary's name was read both times?

Answer:

The answer is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the prompt, it says that there are 50 tickets in a raffle bag, and 10 of those tickets belong to Gary. It then says that a ticket at random, is chosen, the owner's name is read, and the ticket is mixed back into the bag. And so there are still 10/50 tickets that belong to Gary and there are still a total of 50 tickets in the raffle bag (since it was replaced). The prompt then says that another ticket was is chosen and the ticket owner's name is read. The question is asking us what is the probability of Gary's name being read twice. Now a general probability rule is that for events A and B, where A occurs before B,

 if there is a replacement,  then

P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B).  And so we'd take the original 10/50 tickets and multiply them by another 10/50 tickets, which equals 1/25, or 0.04. To convert this into a percent, you'd multiply 0.04 by 100 to get 4% our final answer.

Farmer bob's square plot ofland is slowly eroding away. Worried about the future of his farm. Farmer Bob measures the rate of er
kow [346]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is

A=x^2               .... (1)

where, x is side length.

The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2

It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.

Fist find the length of each side.

A=250000

x^2=250000

Taking square root on both sides.

x=500

Differentiate with respect to t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}

Substitute x=500 and \frac{dx}{dt}=2 in the above equation.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2(500)(2)

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2000

Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A bicycle rider increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds
valentina_108 [34]
To find the acceleration of the bicycle rider, we are going to use the acceleration formula: a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}
where
a is the acceleration 
v_{i} is the initial speed 
v_{f} is the final speed 
t is the time 

We know from our problem that increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds, so his initial speed is 5 m/s and his final speed is 15 m/s; therefore, v_{i}=5, v_{f}=15, andt=10. Lets replace those values in our formula:
a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}
a= \frac{15-5}{10}
a= \frac{10}{10}
a=1

We can conclude that the acceleration of the bicycle rider 1 m/s^2
