Answer:

The probability that it is actually raining in Seattle is 26/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the probability that a friend is telling the truth = 2/3

The probability that a friend is telling a lie = 1/3

Therefore, if all three friends say "Yes" it is raining in Seattle, the probability that is actually raining is given by the probability that one of them is telling the truth. That is the complement that all are messing with their friend.

The probability that all are not telling the truth is;

P(All not telling the truth) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}   \times  \frac{1}{3}  =  \frac{1}{27}

P(One is telling the truth) = 1 - P(All not telling the truth)  = 1- \frac{1}{27} = \frac{26}{27}

Therefore, the probability that it is actually raining in Seattle = 26/27.

Figure out the pattern, and write the next number.<br> 2,6,21,88
bija089 [108]
Answer:
a5=445

Explanation:
a of n=(a+1)*n
a1=2
I found the pattern to add 1 to the previous number and then multiply it by its number in the sequence. Apologies for the terrible format of my recursive formula.
Proof of pattern:
(2+1)*2=6
(6+1)*3=21
(21+1)*4=88
a5=(88+1)*5=445

The temperature changed from 5C at 6 p.m. to -2C at midnight. How much did the temperature decrease?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Salutations!

The temperature changed from 5°C at 6 p.m. to -2°C at midnight. How much did the temperature decrease?

Lets solve this!

To find out how much the temperature is decreased, you need to subtract 5°°C from -2° C. from . 

Lets form this into statements ---

Temperature at 6 PM = 5°C

Temperature at midnight = -2°C.

Temperature decreased = 5°C - 2°C = 3° C.

3°C is the temperature decreased. 

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

Two children are sitting on a seesaw that is 12ft long. One child weighs 60lb. The other child weighs 90lb. How far from the 90-
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

moments about the fulcrum should be equal

IF x is the distance of the fulcrum from the 90 lb child

90[x] = 60[12 - x]

90x = 720 - 60x

150x = 720

x = 4.8 ft

90(4.8) = 432 ft•lb

60(12 - 4.8) = 432 ft•lb
