Why is probability limted to numbers between 0 and 1

1 answer:

7 0

This is because 100% is the same as 1. You can’t have more than a 100% chance of something happening. 100% means there is no chance it won’t happen, so you can’t go higher.

You also can’t have a negative probability. 0, or 0%, means there is absolutely no chance it will happen.

So, you have to have a probability between “not a chance it will happen” (0) and “not a chance it won’t happen” (1).

Question 45 A length of pipe that weighs 45 pounds is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is 3 feet long and weighs 18 pounds

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 4.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds

Weight of first piece = 18 pounds

Then, Weight of other piece = 45- 18 = 27 pounds

Length of first piece = 3 feet

Let x be the length of other piece.

As length is directly proportional to weight.

Then, $\dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{3}{18}$

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}\times27 =4.5$

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.

What is the area, in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?<br> 11.7 cm<br> 5.5 cm<br> 6.5 cm

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

50.05 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first lets find the area of the rectangle before finding the attached triangle. You have to imagine a line separating this shape into a triangle and rectangle.

The rectangle's size is 6.5x5.5=35.75 cm^2

The rectangle's size is 11.7-6.5 to get the base length, which is 5.2

The height is 5.5

So it's 5.2*5.5/2=14.3 cm^2

14.3+35.75=50.05 cm^2

The statements that are correct are A and E. A because the y-intercept for y=5x+12 is 12 and the table of values it is 5. E is correct because the rate of change for the table of values is 24 and y=5x+12, it is 5.
