Problem 3 in your textbook presents three different sample spaces for a horse race with five horses running. Let the horses be d

esignated by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. A more complete characterization of an outcome of the horse race would be to designate which horse finishes in first through fifth places
(a) Consider the sample space for the set of outcomes characterized in this way. How many such outcomes are in the sample space?
b) How many outcomes are in the event that horse A finishes first?
(c) If G is the event that horse A finishes first and H is the event that horse B does not finish second, describe in words the event GnH. How many outcomes are in this event?

Answer:

a) 120

b) 24

c) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

The sample space is defined by the rank of the horses.

Hence, 5 ranks would permute to = 5! = 120 outcomes

part b

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, the position are permutated to 4! = 24 outcomes

part c

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, and horse B can not finish second hence:

A _ B _ _  the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ B _ the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ _ B the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

Total outcomes is sum of 3 cases above = 18 outcomes

A comet travels at an average speed of 273,000 km/h.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: 52,416,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr

1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day

2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days

1) \frac{273,000 km}{hr}*\frac{24 hr}{1 day} = \frac{6,552,000km}{day} (hours cancel out)

2)\frac{6,552,000km}{day}*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days

The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)

Answer plsssss………………
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The corresponding angles theorem works for cases where we have two parallel lines intersecting another line.

Two lines are parallel if, at any point, the distance between these two lines is always the same.

Now, if we look at the image, we can see that the distance between the two horizontal lines changes (is smaller at the right and larger at the left)

Thus, these lines are not parallel.

Then the corresponding angles theorem can not be used here, and we have that:

∠9 ≠ ∠10

Is it true or false that all whole numbers are natural numbers​
Mama L [17]

Answer:it can very

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on which definition of 'whole numbers' you use.

Some definitions say the whole numbers are the set of positive integers including zero; or the set of all non-negative integers. In this case, the answer would be 'false', since the set of integers includes negatives.

However, if you are using a definition of whole numbers which includes positive integers, including zero, and their negatives, the answer would be 'true'. Figure out how the term 'whole numbers' is being defined, then you can get your answer.
