New York State’s "Quick Draw" lottery moves right along. Players choose between one and ten numbers from the range 1 to 80; 20 w

inning numbers are displayed on a screen every four minutes. If you choose just one number, your probability of winning is 20/80, or 0.25. Lester plays one number seven times as he sits in a bar. What is the probability that all seven bets lose?

Answer:

The Answer is 0,133484. The same number as (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of an event occurring is <em>p</em>, then the probability of an event not occurring is <em>1-p</em>. Therefore if Lester plays one number, then the probability of that number not winning is 1-\frac{20}{80} or 1-0.25, which is \frac{60}{80} or 0.75

\\Two or more events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other. In Lester's game, the probability of a number winning or not winning does not affect the probability of the same number winning or not winning in the next game.

\\In order to find the probability of several events occurring in succession, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events.

\\Therefore if Lester plays one number seven times, the probability that all seven bets lose are (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

Which parent function is f(x) = |x|?
Levart [38]

Answer:

B. The absolute value parent function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=|x|

Referred to as absolute value, the value inside the bars is measured in terms of its distance from 0. Therefore:

|0|=0\\|3|=3\\|-3|=3

In essence, a negative value within the bars becomes positive, while a positive value remains positive.

Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.

8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400      /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26

Find the measure of an angle between 0 and 360 that is coterminal with -120
AURORKA [14]

Answer:to find the equivalent positive angle of a negative angle, just add 360 to it until it becomes positive and is between 0 and 360 degrees. -110 + 360 = 250. 250 degree angle and -110 degree angle are coterminal


Step-by-step explanation:to find the equivalent positive angle of a negative angle, just add 360 to it until it becomes positive and is between 0 and 360 degrees. -110 + 360 = 250. 250 degree angle and -110 degree angle are coterminal
