Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To see if two events are independent you can use the formula P(a|b) = P(a)
In this problem P(C|Y) = 35/75 = .4667 and P(C) = 110/300 = 3.667,
therefore C and Y are not independent events because P(C∣Y) ≠ P(C).
The answer is choice D
An interesting question! Let's take a look at the rectangular prism first.
[Rectangular Prism]
We know that the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:
volume = length * width * height
or more simply
V = L*W*H
All we know is that the volume is 210 cubic meters. We can choose whatever we want for the dimensions to force it to work! We're free to do what we want!
210 = L*W*H
I like 10, that's a nice number. Let's make L = 10.
210 = 10*W*H
Hmm... but now I need W*H to be 21 (think about it, make sure you get why I say that). Well, how about W = 7 and H = 3? That should work.
210 = 10*7*3
It checks! Possible dimensions for the rectangular prism are L = 10 meters, W = 7 meters, and H = 3 meters. There are many other choices of course, but this is a possible choice.
[Triangular Prism]
Same idea, different formula. For a triangular prism, the volume is
V = 1/2 * L*W*H
But the volume is still 210 cubic meters, so we just have
210 = 1/2 * L*W*H
So, one of our dimensions is going to be cut in half. Why don't we just double L to make up for it?
210 = 1/2*(20)*W*H
And we can leave W and H the same
210 = 1/2*20*7*3
Check that it works! A possible choice is L = 20 meters, W = 7 meters and H = 3 meters.
We're done!
Answer: Choice 2) A, B, C
====================================
Explanation:
Use a calculator to find that,
- 946/32 = 29.5625
- 1157/11 = 105.1818 approximately
- 3524/44 = 80.0909 approximately
- 37392/82 = 456
The first three results have a decimal portion as the answer. So there is a remainder here. The remainder is the leftover bit that couldn't make another full value. Only choice D results in a whole number that isn't a decimal value, so this does not have a remainder.
As a smaller example, let's say we had 20 cookies and 3 people. If we want to divide the cookies evenly, then each person gets 20/3 = 6 full cookies and there would be 2 cookies left over (6*3 = 18 are eaten so 20-18 = 2 is left over). Notice that 20/3 = 6.67 approximately. The non-whole number decimal value indicates we have a remainder. If we had 21 cookies, then each person gets 21/3 = 7 full cookies with nothing left over, so there's no remainder here.
