Lucy is a dress maker. She sews 4/7 of a dress in 3/4 hour. At this rate, how many dresses does Lucy sew in one hour?

The angle of elevation to the sun is 24°. What is the length of the shadow cast by a person 1.82 m tall? A. 0.81 m B. 1.99 m C.

Zanzabum

Answer:

C. 4.09 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.

$\tan \: 24 \degree = \frac{height \: of \: person}{length \: of \: the \: shadow} \\ \\ 0.4452286853 = \frac{1.82}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{1.82}{0.4452286853} \\ \\ x = 4.08778693 \: m \\ x = 4.09 \: m$

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

victus00 [196]

Complete question :

Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:

5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :

5 / 6 = 0.8333

Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;

5/6 = 0.8333

To the nearest tenth :

0.8

Work the following problem

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

List Price=$720

The percentage of discount=13%

In order to find the amount of discount, 13% of the amount has to be calculated. To calculate 13% , the amount is multiplied by 13/100.

Amount of discount=13% of list price

=720*13/100

=720*0.13

=$93.60

The amount of discount is $93.6..
