Answer:

Therefore, we conclude that the probability is P=0.31.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a recent Kentucky Derby, the betting odds for the favorite horse were 9 to 5. We calculate the  probability that the favorite horse will win the race. Therefore, we get:

P=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{9}\\\\P=\frac{14}{45}\\\\P=0.31\\

Therefore, we conclude that the probability is P=0.31.

A = 360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem, the length AB is given by

AB^2 = 17^2 - 8^2 = 225 cm^2

or

AB = 15 cm

Since the ratio BC: CD = 1:2 and BC = 8 cm, this means that CD = 2×(8 cm) = 16 cm

so the length BD is

BD = BC + CD = 8cm + 16 cm = 24 cm

There the area of the rectangle is

A = AB×BD

= 15cm×24cm

= 360 cm^2

23. Two coins are tossed. Alan gets a point if the coins match and Sondra gets a point if they do not match.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

C. They have the  same chance of winning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (2 tails) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

Probability( 2 heads = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Therefore the Probability  they match = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2.

The probability of  they don't match = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 because all probabilities add up to 1. There are only 4 possible results and their probabilities must add up to 1.

Absolute value equations have more than one solution because when the answer is in abs. value, it is positive, so there could be a negative answer and it would still be positive. For example |-5|=5 and |5|=5 as well. 
4+|2x|=-1 would have no solution because you cannot have the equation equal a negative since the 2x is in absolute value.
