we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

 P=size of the event space/size of the sample space

 

step 1

find the probability that Joey will be first

size of the sample size=12

size of the event space=1

P=1/12

step 2

find the probability that Chloe will be second

size of the sample size=12-1=11

size of the event space=1

P=1/11

step 3

find the probability that Zoe will be third

size of the sample size=11-1=10

size of the event space=1

P=1/10

step 4

Find the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third

P=(1/12)*(1/11)*(1/10)-----> P=1/1320-----> 0.00075------> 0.076%

the answer is

the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third is 0.00075 (0.076%)

A rectangular box has three of its faces on the coordinate planes and one vertex in the first octant on the paraboloid z=100−x2−
LuckyWell [14K]

The volume as a function of the location of that vertex is

... v(x, y, z) = x·y·z = x·y·(100-x²-y²)


This function is symmetrical in x and y, so will be a maximum when x=y. That is, you wish to maximize the function

... v(x) = x²(100 -2x²) = 2x²(50-x²)


This is a quadratic in x² that has zeros at x²=0 and x²=50. It will have a maximum halfway between those zeros, at x²=25. That maximum volume is

... v(5) = 2·25·(50-25) = 1250


The maximum volume of the box is 1250 cubic units.

Answer:

f(2) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2) means that x = 2.

We are trying to find the y-value when x = 2.

When x = 2, we see from the graph that our y-values is equal to -5.

Therefore, f(2) = -5

Sabrina threw a coin from a building 160 feet high at an initial speed of 30 feet per second. How many seconds will it take the

Is there a rate of acceleration? If not then by using the formula time = distance/speed you get 160/30. Which equals 5.333, so I would go with B.
