Answer:

B and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple golden rule that we need to know here is

<em><u>"The probability of any event is always between 0 and 1 inclusive"</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

If an event has a probability of p(x), we can say:

0 \leq p(x) \leq 1

Also, probability is ALWAYS POSITIVE.

Thus,

A) OK because 33.3% is 0.333, which is between 0 and 1

B) NOT OK, because probability isn't negative

C) 0.0002 is in between 0 and 1, so possible

D) 0 probability means it can't happen, so that's okay as well

E) this is a fraction with numerator less than denominator, which means its between 0 and 1, so OK

F) this fraction's numerator is greater than denominator, so it's greater than 1. Probability can't be greater than 1, so NOT OK

Out of these B and F cannot represent the probability of an event

A) Composite function that represents how many flowers Iris can expect to bloom over a certain number of weeks is f[s(w)] = 50w + 25.

B) The unit of measurement for the composite function is flowers.

C) Number of the flowers for 30 weeks will be 1525.

<h3>What is a composite function?</h3>

A function is said to be a composite function when a function is written in another function. The composite function that represents the number of flowers is f[s(w)] = 50w + 25. and the number of flowers for 30 weeks is 1525.

Part A: Write a composite function that represents how many flowers Iris can expect to bloom over a certain number of weeks.

From the given data we will find the function for the number of flowers with time.

f(s) = 2s + 25

We have  s(w) = 25w

f[(s(w)]=2s(w) + 25

f[(s(w)] = 2 x ( 25w ) +25

f[s(w)] = 50w + 25.

Part B: What are the units of measurement for the composite function in Part A

The expression f[s(w)] = 50w + 25 will give the number of the flowers blooming over a number of the weeks so the unit of measurement will be flowers.

Part C: Evaluate the composite function in Part A for 30 weeks.

The expression f[s(w)] = 50w + 25 will be used to find the number of flowers blooming in 30 weeks put the value w = 30 to get the number of the flowers.

f[s(w)] = 50w + 25.

f[s(w)] = (50 x 30) + 25.

f[s(w)] = 1525 flowers.

Therefore the composite function is f[s(w)] = 50w + 25. unit will be flowers and the number of flowers in 30 weeks will be 1525.
