Answer:

... 0.7 . . . or 0.67 . . . or 0.667 . . . or 0.6667 . . . or ...

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a repeating decimal: 0.66666... Round where you like. The rounding is usually in the 2nd or 3rd decimal place, depending on the accuracy needed.

... 0.67 or 0.667 . . . . . the decimal fraction of dogs

_____

<em>Comment on wording</em>

The question asks for the "number of dogs". In the problem statement, we're told that number is 2 (out of 3). Actually, it can be any even integer number (out of 3/2 that many), up to 2/3 of the total dog population (which is estimated at over 520 million).

Had the problem asked for <em>the fraction of dogs</em>, then an appropriate answer is 0.67.

What is a correct congruence statement for the triangles shown? Enter your answer in the box. ​ △QDJ≅△ ​ A triangle Q D J. The b
almond37 [142]

Answer: The correct congruence statement is \triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW.

Explanation:

It is given that A triangle Q D J. The base D J is horizontal and side Q D is vertical. Another triangle M C W is made. The base C W and side M C are neither horizontal nor vertical. Triangle M C W is to the right of triangle Q D J.

The sides Q D and M C are labeled with a single tick mark. The sides D J and C W are labeled with a double tick mark. The sides Q J and M W are labeled with a triple tick mark.

Draw two triangles according to the given information.

From the figure it is noticed that

QD\cong MC

DJ\cong CW

QJ\cong MW

So by SSS rule of congruence we can say that \triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW.

The amount of time, in minutes, that a woman must wait for a cab is uniformly distributed between zero and 12 minutes, inclusive
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

P(X\leq x) =\frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this formula we have this:

P(X

Then we can conclude that the probability that that a person waits fewer than 11 minutes is approximately 0.917

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest that a woman must wait for a cab"the amount of time in minutes " and we know that the distribution for this random variable is given by:

X \sim Unif (a=0, b =12)

And we want to find the following probability:

P(X

And for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

P(X\leq x) =\frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this formula we have this:

P(X

Then we can conclude that the probability that that a person waits fewer than 11 minutes is approximately 0.917
