A teacher plans a simulation to estimate the probability that a student will pick a vowel out of a bag of 26 tiles, each with a

different letter of the alphabet. She assigns the number 1 to represent a vowel and the number 2 to represent a consonant in a simulation be a fair representation of actual results? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, because the probabilities of drawing a vowel versus a constant are not equally likely.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each number in a random number generator is equally likely.  If she assigns only the number 1 to vowels and only the number 2 to consonants, she will get results showing that they are equally likely.

In reality, 5 of the 26 letters are vowels (not including y).  The teacher should assign numbers 1 through 5 to vowels, and numbers 6 through 26 to consonants.  This will be a fair representation.

A certain fraction is greater than 2. The denominator is 8. What must be true about the numerator?
Volgvan

Answer:

The numerator must be greater than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a certain fraction is greater than 2. Thus, if the numerator and denominator are x and y respectively, then we have;

x/y > 2

We are further told that the denominator is 8.

Thus;

x/8 > 2

Multiply both sides by 8 to give;

x > 16

Thus,the numerator must be greater than 16.

A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of 2 feet, with an initial speed of 120 feet per secon
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The maximum height is reached after 3.75 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the deceleration due to gravity is unaided by air resistance, gravity causes the ball to lose vertical speed at the rate of 32 ft/s every second. The initial vertical speed of 120 ft/s will decline to zero when t satisfies ...

... 120 ft/s - (32 ft/s²)t = 0

... (120 ft/s)/(32 ft/s²) = t = 3.75 s

The ball will not go any higher after its vertical speed is zero.
