Answer:The correct answer is A, 14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is take the 30% chance of you HAVING to stop at the first light and find the chance that you won't have to stop at the first light, which is 70%, or .7. Then you take the chance of having to stop at the second light which is 80%, and find the probability of NOT having to stop there, which is 20%, or .2. Then you multiply the probabilities of not having to stop, which equals to .14.

The probability that he will not have to stop at the first light is 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.
The probability that he will not have to stop at the second light is 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.
The probability that he will not have to stop at either light is:
0.7\times0.2=0.14
The correct answer choice is A.

Part B: In complete sentences, explain how a circle can be used to find the circumcenter of the triangle graphed below.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Part B:</em></u>

The center of the circumscribed circle around a triangle is equidistant from vertices of that triangle. To find the circumcenter need to draw at least two perpendicular bisectors to the sides of the given triangle. Point of intersect of them is center of the circumscribed circle.

<u><em>Part C:</em></u>

Coordinates of the midpoint of line BC ( y = - 1 ) are

( \frac{-6+2}{2} , \frac{-1-1}{2} ) = <em>( - 2 , - 1 )</em> and the equation of the line ⊥ to BC is <em>x = - 2</em>

Because BC is ║ to x-axis and m∠A is 90° , the center of the circle is midpoint of BC and r = \frac{BC}{2} = 4

You watch a roulette wheel spin 270 consecutive times and the ball lands on a red slot each time. what is the probability that t
Rus_ich [418]
<span>18/37 if you're in Europe, 9/19 if you're in America, assuming the wheel isn't rigged. If the roulette wheel is a fair wheel, the odds on any given spin of the wheel is unaffected by any previous spins of the wheel. So no matter how many times the wheel has consecutively come up red, the next spin can still come up red, black, or green based upon the number of each color is present on the wheel. The difference between the odds for Europe vs America has to do with a quirk about roulette. In Europe, the roulette wheel has 37 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 1 green. In America, the roulette wheel has 38 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. Although in this case, I'd be wary about assuming that the wheel isn't rigged. The odds of 270 consecutive red on a fair wheel is only 1 in 3.09663x10^84 in Europe, or 1 in 4.14949x10^87 in America.</span>

19/258 = 21/?<br><br> help pls
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<h3>285.15</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

19/258 = 21/x

We are to find the unknown value x;

Cross multiply;

19 * x = 258 * 21

19x = 5418

Divide both sides by 19;

19x/19 = 5418/19

x = 285.15

Hence the unknown value is 285.15

How do you solve each system of equations?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x=1,y=3,z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-4y+4z=-4

4x=-4+4y-4z

x=-1+y-z

Substitute  x=-1+y-z into second equation:

4\left(-1+y-z\right)+y-2z=5

-4+4y-4z+y-2z=5

5y-6z-4=5

y=\frac{6z+9}{5}

Substitute x=-1+y-z and y=\frac{6z+9}{5} into the third equation:

\frac{-41z-54}{5}+3=-16

-41z-54=-95

z=1

Substitute z=1 into y=\frac{6z+9}{5}:

y=3

Plug in y and z values into x=-1+y-z:

x=1
