Answer:

$88/5$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of an event happening is 88/93, means there are total 93 outcomes.

The odds against it happening can be given by:

$88/(93-88)$

= $88/5$

x = probability of not happening.
88/93 + x = 1
x=1-88/93
x=93-88/93
x=5/93
hope this helps

The parking space shown on the right has an area of 216 ft². A custom truck has rectangular dimensions of 12.1 ft by 3.6 ft. Can

mart [117]

Answer:

• Yes, the area of the truck is less than the area of the parking space.

• The missing dimension of the parking space is 12 ft.

Explanation:

The area of the parking space = 216 ft²

Part A

The dimensions of the custom truck = 12.1 ft by 3.6 ft.

To determine if the truck can fit into the space, we calculate the area of the truck.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the truck}=12.1\times3.6 \\ =43.56ft^2 \end{gathered}$

Since the area of the truck is less than the area of the parking space, the truck will fit into the space.

Part B

The parking space is in the shape of a parallelogram.

$\text{Area of a parallelogram=Base x Perpendicular Height}$

Given:

• Area = 216 ft²

• Base = b ft

• Perpendicular Height = 18 ft

We then have:

$\begin{gathered} 216=b\times18 \\ 18b=216 \\ b=\frac{216}{18} \\ b=12\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$

The missing dimension of the parking space is 12 feet.

Syrus is buying a tent with the dimensions shown below. The volume inside the tent is 4.5\text{ m}^34.5 m 3 4, point, 5, start t

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 4.5m^3$

The question is incomplete as the picture of the tent is not attached.

However, I will use the attached figure to answer the question.

From the attachment, we have:

$b = 1.5m$ --- base of the tent

$l = 3m$ --- length of the tent

Required

Determine the height of the tent

The volume of the tent is:

$\frac{1}{2} * bhl = Volume$

Where h is the required height.

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * h * 3 = 4.5$

$\frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * 3 * h = 4.5$

$\frac{1}{2} * 4.5 * h = 4.5$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{4.5 * 2}{4.5}$

$h = 2m$

The height of the tent is 2m

Which expression is equivalent to 3n+5-6? A)3n+11 B)8n-6 C)3n-1 D)3n+1

mixas84 [53]

3n+5-6

Just simplify it, so now you have 3n-1

Let's go through each answer.

A) 3n+11 is incorrect because it does NOT equal 3n-1

B) 8n-6 is also incorrect because it does NOT equal 3n-1

C) 3n-1 IS correct because it DOES equal 3n-1

D) 3n+1 is incorrect because it does NOT equal 3n-1

So, your answer is C) 3n-1

A. yes this is a statistical question. it is a statistical question because you can answer the question by collecting data.

b. some clusters are.. 3,4,5, and 6 they are clusters because they are assembled around a particular value. the peak is 6 because it is the highest number it reaches. there are no gaps in this table.

c. to calculate the average with a graph you sum the numbers then divide by the total number of values in the set. for this table you add 1+2+3+3+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+5+5 then you divide by 15.

1+2+3+3+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+5+5=51

51 ÷ 15= 3.4
