Answer: 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when two 6- sided dice are rolled is given below:

(+) 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4 5 6 7 8 9 10

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The total sample space is 36.

Sum greater than 8 are : {9,10,11,12}

which are 10 in number:

Therefore : the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8 will be :

number of the sum greater than 8 / Total sample space

That is ;

P(sum greater than 8) = 10/36

P(sum greater than 8) = 5/18

Calculate the area of the quarter circle estimate using 3.14 for pi

mars1129 [50]

The area of the quarter circle with radius 3ft is $7.065 ft^2$

Area of a quarter circle is given by the formula:

$Area = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}$

Where r represents the radius of the circle

In the quarter circle shown, the radius, r = 3 feet

π = 3.14

Substitute π = 3.14 and r = 3 into the formula $Area = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}$

$Area = \frac{3.14 \times 3^2}{4}\\\\Area = \frac{3.14 \times 9}{4}\\\\Area = \frac{28.26}{4}\\\\Area = 7.065 ft^2$

The area of the quarter circle with radius 3ft is $7.065 ft^2$

The list price of a set of golf clubs is $399.99. If the series discount offered is 20/20/15, find the net cost after trade disc

Artemon [7]

Answer:

1,620/.60 = $2,700

step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the complement of the trade discount 100% - 40 = .60 •Calculate the list price $n Discount Rates EXAMPLE: The list price of the office equipment is $15,000. The chain discount is 20/15/10.Step 1. $15,000 X .20 =$3,000Step 2. $15,000-3,000=$12,000 X .15 = $1,800Step 3. $12,000-1,800 = $10,200 X.10 = $1,020Step 4. $10,000- 1,020 = 9,180 Net PriceCalculating Net Price Using Net Price Equivalent Rate EXAMPLE: The list price of office equipment is $15,000. The chain discount is 20/15/10. What is the net price? Step 1. Calculate each rates complement and convert to a decimal.100%-20 = 80% which is .8100%-15= 85% which is .85100% -10 = 90% which is .9Step 2. Calculate the net price equivalent rate. ( Do not round ).8 X .85 X .9 = .612 Net price equivalent rate. For each dollar you are spending about 60 cents.Step 3. Calculate the net price (actual cost to buyer) $15,000 X .612 = $9,180Step 1. Subtract each chain discount rate from 100% (find the complement) and convert each percent to a decimal.Trade Discount AmountList price x Trade discount rate = Trade discount amount $5,678 x 25% = $1,419.50Net Price List price -- Trade discount amount = Net Price

The equation y=9. 5x 0. 4 represents the line of best fit for the distance (in feet) that Marcella traveled over time (in second

Bas_tet [7]

The average speed of Marcella in feet per seconds is 9.5 feet per second.

<h3>How are time taken for travel, distance traveled, and the average speed are related?</h3>

We have this below shown relation between them

$\text{Average speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken to travel that distance}}\\\\or\\\\\text{Total time taken to travel that distance}= \dfrac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Average speed} }$

For the given case, we have:

The equation $y=9.5x + 0.4$ represents the line of best fit for the distance (in feet) that Marcella traveled over time (in seconds)

The line of best fit can be taken as approximately telling about the data points ( y = distance traveled in feet, and x = time spent )

Let the initial time be 'x' with initial distance traveled 'y', then the time after one second will be (x+1), and the distance traveled be $y_1$

The value of y and $y_1$ are calculated as:

$y = 9.5x + 0.4\\y_1 = 9.5(x+1) + 0.4 = 9.5x + 9.9$

Thus, the average speed is calculated at time 'x' as:

$\text{Average speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken to travel that distance}}\\\\or\\\\\text{Average speed} = \dfrac{y_1 - y}{x + 1 - x} = \dfrac{9.5x + 9.9 - 9.5x - 0.4}{1} = 9.5 \: \rm feet/sec$

We could've also used the fact that in the relation of y to x as $y = mx + c$ , 'm' denotes the rate of y as x changes.

Thus, the average speed of Marcella in feet per seconds is 9.5 feet per second.
