Answer:

Probability that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach = 80%

Check Explanation for how to get this and which error the studemt that made the 100% claim must have made.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simulation presented is that for a series of two people sample.

Numbers 0 to 6 represents that the beach-goer enjoys going to the beach and numbers 7 to 9 represents that the beach-goer doesn't enjoy going to the beach.

So, the simulation is then obtained to be

(5,8) (2,7) (0,9) (0,2) (9,0) (1,9) (4,7) (0,3) (6,7) (7,5)

Using the simulation, estimate the probability that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach

From the simulation, the ones with exactly one of the two numbers ranging from 0 to 6 to indicate enjoying going to the beach include

(5,8) (2,7) (0,9) (9,0) (1,9) (4,7) (6,7) (7,5)

The probability of an event is defined and expressed as the number of elements in that event divided by the total number of elements in the sample space.

Probabilty that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach = (8/10) = 0.80 = 80%

The student claims that this probability is 100%, but the other two simulations that did not satisfy the condition of exactly one person saying that he or she enjoys the beach include

(0,2) and (0,3), which show that in the two cases, the two participants both expressed enjoying going to the beach.

The student's error must have been in counting these two simulations as part of 'exactly one person saying he or she enjoys the beach' which is indeed an error.

Hope this Helps!!!

2. Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of each of the angles of the quadrilateral. Show your work

Nostrana [21]

On this picture is shown a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle and by the Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem the angles on the opposite vertices are supplementary, or in other words are equals to 180 degrees.

On this exercise it is asked to find the measure of angle B, First of all, you need to find the value of x. To so you have to select two opposite angles on this case angles A and C.

m<A+m<C=180 Substitute the given values for angles A and C
x+2+x-2=180 Combine like terms
2x=180 Divide by 2 in both sides to isolate x
x=90

Now, that the value of x is known you can substitute it in the expression representing angle D, and then subtract that number from 180 to find the measure of angle B.

m<D=x-10 Substitute the value of x
m<D=90-10 Combine like terms
m<D=80

m<B=180-m<D Substitute the value of angle D
m<B=180-80 Combine like terms
m<B=100

The measure of angle B is 100 degrees, and the value of x is 90.

A rectangular plot of land is to be enclosed by a fence. One side is along a river, and does not need to be enclosed. If the tot

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Width 150 meters.

Length = 350 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the width of the fence = k meters

So, both sides = k + k = 2k meters

Also, the TOTAL fencing length = 600 m

So, the one side length of the fence = (600 - 2 k) meters

AREA = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ A(k) = (600 - 2k) (k)

or, A = -2k² + 600 k

The above equation is of the form: ax² +bx + C

Here: a = - 2 , b = 600 and C = 0

As a< 0, the parabola opens DOWNWARDS.

Here, x value is given as: $x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

Solving for the value of k similarly, we get:

$k = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{600}{2(-2)} = 150$

Thus the desired width = k = 150 meters

So, the desired dimensions of the plot is width 150 meters.

And length = 650 - 2k = 650 - 300 = 350 meters.

In order to reduce their debt, the Johnsons sold some real estate property valued at $165,000 for $143,000. They paid off a loan

Pepsi [2]

The correct answer is option "b", "The Johnsons increased their liquid assets".

The inquiry is giving us the accompanying situation: "so as to reduce their debt, the Johnson's sold some land property esteemed at $165,000 for $143,000. They paid off an advance adjust of $100,000 and put the rest in investment funds." We can see that they really lost cash - they got for the house not as much as the house is worth - they diminished their net esteem. Be that as it may, they have more money that they can utilize (the investment funds) - this is called liquid assets, so the right answer is b, The Johnsons expanded their liquid assets.
