Answer:

C. If the probability of an event occurring is​ 1.5, then it is certain that the event will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a value between <em>0 and 1</em> (including both values). Thus, to say that there is a probability of 1.5 is not correct, and, therefore, this statement is not true.

We can rewrite the statement as "If the probability of an event occurring is 1, then it is completely certain that the event will occur."

Statement A.

Suppose the event is A. Then, if P(A) = 0, it is completely certain that the event will not occur. It is true.

Statement B.

\\ if P(A) = 0\;then\;P(\overline{A}) = 1 - 0 = 1. Then, the statement is true.

Statement C.

We already explained the <em>statement C is not true</em> because the values for probabilities are between 0 and 1 (including both values). A probability of 1.5 is meaningless as a result.

Statement D.

For the same reason explained in C, the probability can never be a negative value. So, this statement is also true.

An engineer created a scale drawing of a building using a scale in which 0.25 inch represents 2 feet. The length of the actual b
Nady [450]

The length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

From the information given, we have that;

  • Scale drawing was used
  • 0. 25 inches represents 2 feet
  • The length of the building is 250 feet

Then,

If 0. 25 inches = 2 feet

Then x inches = 250 feet

cross multiply
x × 2 = 0. 25 × 2500

Multiply through, we have;

2x = 62. 5

Make 'x' the subject by dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62. 5/ 2

x = 31. 25 Inches

Thus, the length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches
