Probability

d) 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability deals with calculating the likelihood of an event's occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. An event with a probability of 1 is considered a certain event, whereas an event with a probability of .5 can be considered to have equal odds of occurring or not occurring of the event. Lastly, an event with a probability of 0 is considered an impossibility.

Since all the options 1/100, 0.29 and 85% are values between 0 and 1, they can be a probability of an event.

However 3/2 is more than 1 so it cannot be a probability of an event. So the option d) 3/2 is the correct answer.

A snowball has a radius of 7cm. What is the volume of the snowball?

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The volume is 1436.8 $in^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

-To find the volume of a sphere, you need the formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

-Use the radius for the formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi 7^3$

-Then, you solve:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi 7^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}$ × $\pi$ × $7^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi$ × $343$

$V = \frac{1372}{3} \pi = 1436.755$

-Round the answer to the nearest tenth:

$V = 1436.8$

So, therefore the volume is 1436.8 $in^2$ .

What is the area of this triangle?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

ANSWER

56.1 square inches.

EXPLANATION

The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin( C)$

where a=8in.

b=14.2 in.

and C=99° is the included angle.

We plug in these values to obtain,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 14.2 \sin( 99 \degree)$

$Area = 56.1007$

We round to the nearest tenth to get,

56.1 sq. inch

Factor completely 64x2 − 49. (1 point)

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(8x-7)(8x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a difference of squares polynomial of the form $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ . Since 64 and 9 are both perfect squares then take the square root of each so a=8 and b=7.
