Answer: jackson is 12
explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age
since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18
solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6
so now we know shelly is 6
jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option B
3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the picture attached, the distance to Cascade Falls is written in mixed fraction and the question wants it expressed in decimal.
is same as 1 divided by 2 which is 0.5 hence the fall is 3+0.5=3.5 miles
Answer:
66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each year, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a levee fails during the year, or no levees fail. In each year, the probabilities of levees failing are independent from each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
A levee was designed to protect against floods with an annual exceedance probability of 0.02. This means that 
What is the risk that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years?
This is
when
. So


66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.
Factor 3x^3-10x^2+3x+10
=(x-2)(3x^2-4x-5)
