5 0

Answer:

0.06 = 6% probability of landing open side up.

0.14 = 14% probability of landing closed side up.

0.8 = 80% probability of landing on its side.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. For an experimental probability, these numbers are taken from previous trials.

Landing open side up:

3 out of 50, so:

$p = \frac{3}{50} = 0.06$

0.06 = 6% probability of landing open side up.

Landing closed side up:

7 out of 50, so:

$p = \frac{7}{50} = 0.14$

0.14 = 14% probability of landing closed side up.

Landing on its side:

40 out of 50, so:

$p = \frac{40}{50} = 0.8$

0.8 = 80% probability of landing on its side.

Learning Task 1. Tell whether each picture models a quadratic function or not.

Lostsunrise [7]

The picture for this question is given below.

Answer: All of them models quadratic function.

Step-by-step explanation: A quadratic function is of the form

f(x) = ax² + bx + c, with coefficient a≠0.

This function has a U-shape graphic called parabola. It has a vertex, i.e., a point where the curve changes, which is "classified" as minimum, if the parabola opens up; and as maximum, if the parabola opens down.

The y-intercepts are the points where the curve touches the y-axis and x-intercepts, if they exist, are the roots of the function.

The three pictures below shows three U-shaped curves opening down. This means the three parabolas are representation of 3 different quadratic functions, with a 3 vertex points that are maximum.
