Answer:

  Project A: $55,000 Project B: $50,800 Contractor should choose project A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the project is the sum of products of profit and its probability:

In thousands, ...

  A:  (50×0.6) +(80×0.3) +(10×0.1) = 30 +24 +1 = 55 . . . thousand

  B:  (100×0.1) +(64×0.7) +(-20×0.2) = 10 +44.8 -4 = 50.8 . . . thousand

__

The contractor should choose Project A based on the expected value of profit.

This is not always true. Consider a=3. Then 3^2-3=9-3=6 is even, but a is odd.

Jane took a piece of cardboard and cut out a triangle with measure 32°, 58°, and 90°, and side lengths 5 cm, 12 cm, and 13 cm. W
ioda
The answer is A. Right, Scalene.

This is because 90 degrees = a right angle

32 and 58 are smaller than 90, making it acute or scalene.
Isosceles means at least two sides are equal.
Equilateral means all sides are equal.

In this case, it is not isosceles or equilateral because the sides are not unequal.
It isn’t D. because that option doesn’t say “right”

A dog sled race is 25 miles long.The equation 5/8 k=25 can be used to estimate the race’s length k in kilometers. Approximately
EastWind [94]
The distance to be covered in the race is 25 miles
average speed of the team is 30 km/h
30 km/m in miles/hour will be:
1 mile=0.621371 km
thus
30 km/h=(30×0.621371) miles/hour
=18.64113 miles/hour
time taken to complete 25 miles will be:
time=distance/speed
=25/18.64113
=1.3411 hours

During a building project, a brick is
taurus [48]

The brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

<h3>What are quadratic equations?</h3>

Given the equation for height as a function of time is  h(t) = -16t2 + 1,296

The height of the brick on the ground is h(t) = 0. Substitute h(t) = 0 into the equation as shown:

  • -16t2 + 1,296 = 0

Subtract 1296 from both sides

-16t² + 1,296 - 1296 = 0 - 1296

16t² = 1296

t² = 1296/16

t² = 81

t = 9secs

Hence the brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.
