Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

P( coin = heads) = number of heads / total = 1/2

P( cube = 5) = number of 5's / total =1/6

P( heads, 5) =1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

The coin toss and the number cube roll are independent events.

This is because the result of the coin toss does

not affect the result of the number cube roll.

To find the probability of two independent events, we first find the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.

Since there is only one way to get heads when tossing a coin and there are 2 possible outcomes, tossing a heads or tails, the probability of getting heads is 1/2.

Since there is only one way to roll 5 on a number cube, there

is 1 favorable outcome but six possible outcomes.

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

Now multiply.

So we have 1/2 · 1/6 which is 1/12.

What is the measure of XYZ, given that yz and xy are tangent to ?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

D) 53 Degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Things we need to establish beforehand: We know that Lines OZ and OX are equal because they are both radii of the circle. We can make an Iscoceles traingle by drawing a line between ZX. We know angle YZO and angle YXO is a right angle because YZ and XY are tangent to the circle. The Arc angle is the same angle as angle ZOX.

1) Find angles OZX and OXZ. these will be 26.5, because 180-127 is 53, which is the sum of the two angles. the two angles are the same, so divide 53 by 2.

2) Find Angles XZY and ZXY. We know that YZO is a right angle, and both XZY and OZX make up this right angle so XZY + OZX = 90. OZX is 26.5, so 90-26.5=XZY. XZY = ZXY, so both angles equal 63.5.

3) Now that we have two angles of triangle XYZ, we can find angle XYZ.     180-(XZY+ZXY)=XYZ, so (180-(63.5+63.5)=53. Angle XYZ=53.

1. Scientists estimate the rate of the wildebeest running at full speed to be 66 feet per second. Write a function rule to descr
lorasvet [3.4K]

1. d. d = 66t

The maximum speed of the wildebeest is v=66 ft/s. Speed is defined as the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):

v=\frac{d}{t}

Re-arranging the formula, we get

d=vt

And substituting v=66 ft/s, we find

d=66t


2. c. y = 5 - n

In fact, we can check that this rule satisfies all the numbers of the sequence:

n=3 --> y = 5 - 3 = 2

n=4 --> y = 5 - 4 = 1

n=5 --> y = 5 - 5 = 0

n=6 --> y = 5 - 6 = -1


3. d. $5.50, $11.00, $16.50; E = 5.50h

In fact, if we use the rule E=5.50 h, we see that the table is completed as follows:

h=1 --> E=(5.50)(1 h)=5.50$

h=2 --> E=(5.50)(2 h)=11.00 $

h=3 --> E=(5.50)(3 h)=16.50$

h=4 --> E=(5.50)(4 h)=22.00$

h=5 --> E=(5.50)(5 h)=27.50$


4. c. if d ≥ 5 then C = 4.70d, if d < 5 then C = 4.70d - 1; $17.80, $32.90

If the number of days is more than 5, the cost is 4.70$ per day, therefore c=4.70d (where d is the number of days); if the number of days is less than 5, one dollar is returned, so the cost will be C=4.70d-1. By applying this rule, we can calculate the rental cost after d=4 days and d=7 days:

- d=4 --> c=4.70*4-1=17.80$

- d=7 --> c=4.70*7=32.90$


5. b. y = 3x + 3

In fact, we can check this is the correct rule by substituting the numbers:

x=0 --> y=3*0+3=3

x=1 --> y=3*1+3=6

x=2 --> y=3*2+3=9

x=3 --> y=3*3+3=12

x=4 --> y=3*4+3=15


7. x -2 -1 0 1 2

y (-16 ) (-6 ) (4 ) (14 ) (24 )

The rule we have to apply is:

-10x + y = 4

Re-arranging it, we can solve for y:

y = 10x + 4

So, let's substitute the different values of x:

x=-2 --> 10*(-2)+4=-20+4= -16

x=-1 --> 10*(-1)+4=-10+4= -6

x=0 --> 10*0+4= 4

x=1 --> 10*1+4=10+4= 14

x=2 --> 10*2 +4 =20+4 = 24


8. y = -5x - 1

In fact, if substitute the different values of x given by the problem, we find:

x = -2 --> y = -5*(-2) -1= 10 -1 = 9

x = -1 --> y = -5*(-1) -1 = 5 -1 = 4

x = 0 --> y = -5*0 -1 = -1

x = 1 --> y = -5*1 - 1 = -6

x = 2 --> y = -5*2 -1 = -11
