<h3>Answer: Choice C, 9.3 x 10^7 miles </h3>

notes

* 9.3 x 10^7 is 93,000,000 or the number "93 million". This is the approximate distance from earth to the sun (I believe the average distance)

* 500 seconds = 8.333 min = 8 min, 20 seconds

====================================================

Work Shown:

speed of light is roughly 1.86 * 10^5 miles per second, assuming you meant to put an exponent between the 10 and 5. This means that in 1 second, light travels roughly 1.86*10^5 miles (about 186 thousand miles)

Multiply this by 500

500 * (1.86 * 10^5)

(500*1.86)*10^5

930 * 10^5

(9.3 * 10^2) * 10^5

9.3 * (10^2*10^5)

9.3 * 10^(2+5)

9.3 * 10^7

This is the same as 93,000,000 or "93 million" after you move the decimal point 7 spots to the right.

Julia enjoys shooting paper balls into the wastebasket across her office. She misses the first shot 50% of the time. When she mi
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

<u>The probability that Julia makes at least one successful throw is 90%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to help Julia to answer the question correctly:

Probability that Julia misses the first shot = 50%

Probability that Julia makes the first shot = 50%

When she misses on the first shot, she misses the second shot 20% of the time. Therefore after missing the first shot, she makes the second shot 80% of the time.

Probability that Julia misses both shots = 50% * 20% = 0.5 * 0.2 = 0.1 = 10%

2. What is the probability of making at least one successful throw?

Probability of making at least one successful throw = 1 - (Probability that Julia misses both shots)

Probability of making at least one successful throw = 100% - 10%

<u>The probability that Julia makes at least one successful throw is 90%</u>

Both are correct, because when they divide their pencils that way, both of them will have equal amount of boxes and equal amount of pencils in each box.
