Answer:

I honestly was having the worst time trying to solve this sorry :(, for real idk if any of these are right

i got 2 answers; 1st: ≈0.5 mph

the 2nd; 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

2/3 miles = 3520 feet

1/3 hours = 20 minutes

------Make a proportion-----

$\frac{3520ft}{20min} = \frac{1 mi=5280 ft}{1hr = 60min}$

cross multiply------

3520 * 60 = 211200

5280 * 20 = 105600

Divide $\frac{211200}{105600}= 2$

---(this is where i got confused cuz 2 doesn't make any sense)--

If you flip them, $\frac{105600}{211200}=0.5$ which makes more sense

hope i helped :(

Suppose a basketball player has made 291 out of 389 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $38.

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is -$0.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a basketball player has made 291 out of 389 free throws.

Then rate of him making a free throw is,

$P(\text{free throw})=\frac{291}{389}=0.7481$

The probability that he makes the next 2 free throws is:

$P(\text{Next 2 free throws})=(0.7481)^{2}=0.5596$

The payout rules are:

If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $38.
Otherwise you pay me $50.

Compute the expected value of the proposition as follows:

Expected value = $38 × P (Makes both) + (-$50) × P (Misses both)

$=($38\times 0.5596)+(-$50\times (1-0.5596))\\=21.2648-22.02\\=-0.7552\\\approx -$0.76$

Thus, the expected value of the proposition is -$0.76.

Three friends go to the movies and split the total cost between them. The total cost is $13.05 for movie tickets and $10.26 for

IRISSAK [1]

Each of them should pay $7.77 because I added the total from the movie and the snack and got $23.31. Since there is three friends, I divided $23.31 by 3 and got $7.77.

Answer:

$\frac{12 {z}^{ 3} {y}^{2} }{5 {x}^{ 2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$\frac{36 {x}^{ - 2} {y}^{2} }{15 {z}^{ - 3} }$

The trick is that when a negative index in the numerator comes to the denominator , it becomes positive.

The vice-versa is also true.

That is:

${a}^{ - n} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{ n} }$

and

${a}^{n} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{ - n} }$

We simplify to get:

$\frac{12 {z}^{ 3} {y}^{2} }{5 {x}^{ 2} }$

The last choice is correct.
