Whenever you have a decision tree like this, the probability of reaching a specific leaf is the multiplication of the probabilities of each step you have to reach the leaf.

So, in order to reach the "hardcover and nonfiction" leaf, we have to take the "buys hardcover" branch (probability 0.35), and then the "buys nonfiction" branch (probability 0.55).

Given what we said above, the probability for "hardcover and nonfiction" is

$0.35\cdot 0.55=0.1925$

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So if we want to know how high the spring board is, this will need to be the time at which the diver is still at the top of the board, in this case t = 0 seconds.

So we will need to find h(0)

h(0) = 5(0)² + 10(0) + 3 = 0 + 0 + 3 = 3

sdas [7]

Answer:

135 square ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to find the area of this rectangle. Area is always base x height, or in this case, length x width. Now you multply your length, 15', by your width, 9', to get your answer, 135 square feet. When you multiply two measurments of the same unit together, you get square (units), which simply means that you multiplied two of the same unit of measurment together.
