Determine which is the better buy. 7.38 for 2 pounds and 9.57 for 3 pounds.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Let's find unit price. 7.38 / 2 = 3.69 and 9.57 / 3 = 3.19. Since 3.19 < 3.69 the better buy is 9.57 for 3 pounds.

The hypotenuese of an isosceles right triangle is 16 inches. The midpoints of its sides are connected to form an inscribed trian

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

= 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.

Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

R = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

F = reported case of rabies is a fox

B = reported case of rabies is a bat

O = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = x.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, $\sum P(X)=1$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30$

Thus, the value of x is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

$P(A^{c})=1-P(A)$

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

$P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

$P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Three red rods are 2cm longer than two blue rods. Three blue rods are 2cm longer than four red rods. How long is each rod?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of each red rod in centimeters

y ----> the length of each blue rod in centimeters

we know that

$3x=2y+2$ ----> equation A

$3y=4x+2$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,14)

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm
