Three people are running for president of a class. The results of a poll indicate that the first candidate has an estimated 37%

chance of winning and the second candidate has an estimated 44% chance of winning. What is the probability that the third candidate will win?

Answer:

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The are three candidate running for president and we know that probability of winning for first candidate and the probability of winning for second candidate and we have to find the probability of winning for third candidate

P(C1)=0.37

P(C2)=0.44

P(C3)=?

We know that sum of probabilities is always 1. So,

P(C1)+P(C2)+P(C3)=1

0.37+0.44+P(C3)=1

P(C3)=1-0.37-0.44

P(C3)=0.19

Thus, the probability of winning for third candidate is 0.19.

NO LINKS!! Explain your answers (show the support by showing the changes in x and y on your table). If the relationship is linea

sdas [7]

Answer:

<u>Linear relationship</u>: increasing or decreasing one variable will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the other variable.

<u>Inverse relationship</u>: the value of one variable decreases as the value of the other variable increases.

<u>Exponential relationship</u>: a constant change in the independent variable (x) gives the same proportional change in the dependent variable (y)

<u>Question 5</u>

As the x-value increases (by one unit), the y-value decreases.

Therefore, this is an inverse relationship.

The y-values are calculated by dividing 35 by the x-value.

$\sf y=\dfrac{35}{x}$

**I believe there is a typing error in the table and that the y-value of x = 3 should be 11.67**

<u>Question 6</u>

As the x-value increases, the y-value increases. The y-value increases by a factor of 5 for each x-value increase of 1 unit.

Therefore, this is an exponential relationship.

$\sf y=5^x$

A pyramid has a square base of length 8cm and a total surface area of 144cm². Find the volume of the pyramid. (Please use Pythag

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given surface area and the length of the square base

we want to figure out the Volume

to do so

we need to figure out slant length first

recall the formula of surface area

$\displaystyle A_{\text{surface}}=B+\dfrac{1}{2}\times P \times s$

where B stands for Base area

and P for Base Parimeter

so

$\sf\displaystyle \: 144=(8 \times 8)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (8 \times 4) \times s$

now we need our algebraic skills to figure out s

simplify parentheses:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{2}\times32\times s = 144$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ \: 2}}\times \cancel{32} \: ^{16} \times s = 144 \\ 64 + 16 \times s = 144$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle \: 16s + 64 = 144$

cancel 64 from both sides;

$\displaystyle \: 16s = 80$

divide both sides by 16:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: s = 5$

now we'll use Pythagoras theorem to figure out height

according to the theorem

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{l}{2} {)}^{2} = {s}^{2}$

substitute the value of l and s:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{8}{2} {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify parentheses:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (4 {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify squares:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + 16 = 25$

cancel 16 from both sides:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} = 9$

square root both sides:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: {h}^{} = 3$

recall the formula of a square pyramid

$\displaystyle V_{pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times A\times h$

where A stands for Base area (l²)

substitute the value of h and l:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \{8 \times 8 \}\times 3$

simplify multiplication:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 64\times 3$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ 3 \: }}\times 64\times \cancel{ \: 3}$

hence,

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$
