Answer:
(a) 1/4
(b) answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are told that we have a spinner and the spinner has 12 equal sized sections with three of the sections purple in color. We are now asked to calculate the probability of the spinner landing on the color purple.
Checking, we can see that this is a probability question. The spinner has the options of stopping at 12 different positions but amongst these 12 positions, 3 of the positions are painted purple. We now need to know the probability of the spinner landing on purple.
To get the probability of this, what we simply do is to divide the number of purple options by the total number of outcomes we have. The number of purple options is 3 while the total outcome we have is 12. The probability is thus P(of purple is) = 3/12 = 1/4
(b) we are asked to use words to describe the probability
From the probability in the question, what we can see is that if the spinner is spinner 4 different times, there is a chance that 1 out of all the chances will produce a result where we have the spinner landing on one of the purple color section.
What this actually means is that there is a 25% chance within every spin for the spin to land in the purple color section of the spinner
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of this series is given by the formula:
![S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
Where
S_n is the sum
a is the first term (we get this by plugging in n = 1 into "2n-1", we have 2(1) - 1 = 1)
n is the number of terms (the sum is defined for n = 1 to n = 15, so 15 terms)
d is the common different (the difference is successive terms. Here, 2nd term would be 2(2) - 1 = 3, and first term was 1, so d = 3 -1 = 2)
<em>plugging in the info, we will get the sum:</em>
<em>![S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}[2(1)+(15-1)(2)]\\=225](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D%5C%5CS_%7B15%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%281%29%2B%2815-1%29%282%29%5D%5C%5C%3D225)
</em>
<em>The sum is 225</em>
Answer:
+ 10 and + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 7x + 5
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × 5 = + 10 and sum = + 7
The length of the trail is 98.5 KM, all you need to do is divide the total distance by the number of times she went on it.
Answer:
B. The fixed rental for the book
Step-by-step explanation:
Kylie borrowed a book from a library. The library charged a fixed rental for the book and a late fee for every day the book was overdue. The expression below shows the charges Kylie paid for the book when she returned it x days after the due date:
2 + 0.25x
What does the constant term of the expression represent? (1 point)
A. The late fee for the book
B. The fixed rental for the book
C. The number of books borrowed
D. The number of days the book was overdue
Solution
Given expression
2 + 0.25x
The constant term is 2 which represent the fixed rental fee for the book
The term 0.25x represent the amount charged for late fee for x days
$0.25 is charge per day after due date
x = number of due date
