Answer:

8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent the police station with P, Library with L; Fire station with F</em>

<em>The first statement can be represented as:</em>

<em></em> $L - P = P - F - 3$

<em>The second can be represented as:</em>

$L - P = 5$

Required

Determine the distance between the police station and the fire station (P - F)

$L - P = P - F - 3$ --- (1)

$L - P = 5$ --- (2)

Substitute 5 for L - P in (1)

$5 = P - F - 3$

Add 3 to both sides

$3 +5 = P - F - 3 + 3$

$3 +5 = P - F$

$8= P - F$

$P - F = 8$

To eliminate 6X you would Transform 2x by multiplying what number ?

NARA [144]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

to eliminate 6x we need the same no. 6x but that should be negative. so

2X × -3 = -6X

and

6X+(-6X)=0

Let A and B be events with =PA0.7, =PB0.3, and =PA or B0.9. (a) Compute PA and B. (b) Are A and B mutually exclusive? Explain. (

kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) $P(A \cup B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A\cap B)$

And if we solve for $P(A \cap B)$ we got:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A\cup B)= 0.7+0.3-0.9 = 0.1$

b) False

The reason is because we don't satisfy the following relationship:

$P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)$

We have that:

$0.9 \neq 0.3+0.7 =1$

c) False

In order to satisfy independence we need to have the following condition:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

And for this case we don't satisfy this relation since:

$0.1 \neq 0.7*0.3 = 0.21$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabilities given:

$P(A) = 0.7, P(B) =0.7, P(A \cup B) =0.9$

Part a

We want to calculate the following probability: $P(A \cap B)$

And we can use the total probability rule given by:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A\cap B)$

And if we solve for $P(A \cap B)$ we got:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A\cup B)= 0.7+0.3-0.9 = 0.1$

Part b

False

The reason is because we don't satisfy the following relationship:

$P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)$

We have that:

$0.9 \neq 0.3+0.7 =1$

Part c

False

In order to satisfy independence we need to have the following condition:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

And for this case we don't satisfy this relation since:

$0.1 \neq 0.7*0.3 = 0.21$

A teacher places n seats to form the back row of a classroom layout. Each successive row contains two fewer seats than the prece

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The number of seat when n is odd $S_n=\frac{n^2+2n+1}{4}$

The number of seat when n is even $S_n=\frac{n^2+2n}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, each successive row contains two fewer seats than the preceding row.

Formula:

The sum n terms of an A.P series is

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

$=\frac{n}{2}[a+l]$

a = first term of the series.

d= common difference.

n= number of term

l= last term

$n^{th}$ term of a A.P series is

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

n is odd:

n,n-2,n-4,........,5,3,1

Or we can write 1,3,5,.....,n-4,n-2,n

Here a= 1 and d = second term- first term = 3-1=2

Let $t^{th}$ of the series is n.

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

Here $T_n=n$ , n=t, a=1 and d=2

$n=1+(t-1)2$

⇒(t-1)2=n-1

$\Rightarrow t-1=\frac{n-1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-1}{2}+1$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-1+2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n+1}{2}$

Last term l= n,, the number of term $=\frac{ n+1}2$ , First term = 1

Total number of seat

$S_n=\frac{\frac{n+1}{2}}{2}[1+n}]$

$=\frac{{n+1}}{4}[1+n}]$

$=\frac{(1+n)^2}{4}$

$=\frac{n^2+2n+1}{4}$

n is even:

n,n-2,n-4,.......,4,2

Or we can write

2,4,.......,n-4,n-2,n

Here a= 2 and d = second term- first term = 4-2=2

Let $t^{th}$ of the series is n.

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

Here $T_n=n$ , n=t, a=2 and d=2

$n=2+(t-1)2$

⇒(t-1)2=n-2

$\Rightarrow t-1=\frac{n-2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-2}{2}+1$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-2+2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n}{2}$

Last term l= n, the number of term $=\frac n2$ , First term = 2

Total number of seat

$S_n=\frac{\frac{n}{2}}{2}[2+n}]$

$=\frac{{n}}{4}[2+n}]$

$=\frac{n(2+n)}{4}$

$=\frac{n^2+2n}{4}$
