Answer:

a) Sample space (S) = {TR, TL, Cs}

b) Pr(Vehicle Turns) = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) By sample space (S) we mean the list all possible outcome of an event. From the illustration in the question, only three (3) outcome is possible:

i) Vehicle Turn Right (TR)

ii) Vehicle Turn Left (TL)

iii) Continue Straight ahead (Cs)

And since the experiment consists of observing the movement of a single vehicle through the intersection, then, the sample space (S) is:

==> {TR, TL, Cs}

b) Since we are assuming that all sample points are equally likely, it imply that they have equal probability of occurring. And by probability:

Pr(TR) = 1/3

Pr(TL) = 1/3

Pr(Cs) = 1/3

Meanwhile, the question wants us to find the probability that the vehicle turns. This means, the vehicle turning either right or left. Thus;

Pr(vehicle turns) = Pr(TR) or Pr(TL) = Pr(TR) + Pr(TL)

Pr(vehicle turns) = (1/3) + (1/3) = 2/3

Lara is putting lace trim around the border of a circular tablecloth. The tablecloth has a diameter of 1.2 meters. What is the l
mylen [45]

Answer:

3.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lara is putting lace trim around the border of a circular tablecloth, by the time she finishes she has covered the circumference.

The circumference of a circle is calculated using:

C=\pi \: d

where d is the diameter of the circle.

It was given that the diameter of the circular table cloth is 1.2 meters.

C=3.14 \times 1.2

C=3.768

Therefore the length of the lace she needed is 3.8m

A cube has a volume of 512 cubic mm. If all sides of the cube ae divided by 4, what will the resulting volume be?
kotegsom [21]
Volume of a cube = s³ 

Therefore, s³ = 512, meaning that s = 8.

The question asks what the resulting volume would be if all sides of the cube were divided by 4.

The current side measures 8, and we know that 8/4 = 2.

Thus, the resulting volume = s³ = 2³ = 8 cubic mm.
