g On any day, the probability of rain is 0.3. The occurrence of rain on any day is independent of the occurrence of rain on any

Ksju [112]

Answer:

0.249579

Step-by-step explanation:

P(rain) = 0.3

P(no rain) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

The event of rain falling a second time within the next 5 days is possible in these ways

1. Rain on days 1 and 2

2. Rain on days 1 and 3; none on day 2

3. Rain on days 1 and 4; none on days 2 and 3

4. Rain on days 1 and 5; none on days 2, 3 and 4

5. Rain on days 1 and 6; none on day 2, 3, 4 and 5

$P(\text{second rain within 5 days}) = 0.3^2+0.3^2\times0.7+0.3^2\times0.7^2+0.3^2\times0.7^3+0.3^2\times0.7^4 = 0.3^2(1+0.7+0.7^2+0.7^3+0.7^4)= 0.09\times2.7731=0.249579$

11) If A = {19, 20, 21, 24} and B = {17, 19, 20, 22), list the elements of A U B.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

A U B = {17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24}

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol U is the union symbol, which denotes the union of two sets.

This means that given two sets A and B, the expression

A U B

indicates all the elements that belong to either set A or set B.

In this problem, we have the following two sets:

A = {19, 20, 21, 24}

B = {17, 19, 20, 22}

We can therefore list all the elements belonging to either set A or set B, they are:

17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24

So, the expression A U B indicates the set:

A U B = {17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24}

You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. can travel 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. An

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

Blue car:

Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline

Red car:

Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline

What value of cc will complete the square below and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?

Sav [38]

Question: What value of c will complete the square below ( $x^{2} +30x+c$ ) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?

Answer: c = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that a = x, and b² = c, but we need to find the numerical value of $c$ .

To do this, note that the middle term, or 2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x. We know that a = x, and thus, 2ab = 2bx. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, 2bx = 30x.

Dividing by $2x$ on both sides gives us b = 15. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
