Answer:

Length of longest piece=21 in

Length of middle piece=18in

Length of shortest piece=12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total party-length =51 in

Let x be the length of longest piece

Length of shortest piece=x-9

Length of middle piece=6+x-9=x-3

We have to find the length of three pieces

According to question

Sum of length of three pieces=51in

$x+x-9+x-3=51$

$3x-12=51$

$3x=51+12$

$3x=63$

$x=\frac{63}{3}=21$

Length of longest piece=21 in

Length of middle piece=21-3=18in

Length of shortest piece=21-9=12 in

A 3 inch radius circle is drawn inside a 7 inch radius circle. If you throw a dart at these circles, what is the probability you

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the areas of the inner and the bigger circles.

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Considering the inner circle,

diameter = 148.4 cm

Radius = 3 inches

Area = 3.14 × 3² = 28.26 inches²

Considering the bigger circle,

Radius = 7 inches

Area = 3.14 × 7² = 153.86 inches²

The area between the bigger and inner circles is

153.86 - 28.26 = 125.6 inches²

Probability = number of favourable outcome/number of total outcome.

the probability you land inside the bigger circle but outside smaller circle is

125.6/153.86 = 0.82

Use the spinner below to find the probability of getting the following number after 1 spin. P(multiple of 3) = (Round to 4 decim

Talja [164]

The value of the probability P(multiple of 3) is 0.3333

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The spinner that completes the question is added as an attachment

From the attached spinner, we have:

Total section = 12
Multiples of 3 = 4

The probability is then calculated as:

P(multiple of 3) = Multiples of 3/Total

This gives

P(multiple of 3) = 4/12

Evaluate

P(multiple of 3) = 0.3333

Hence, the value of the probability is 0.3333

In 1995, Derek Jeter's batting average was 0.250; in 1996, his batting average was 0.314. David Justice's batting average in 199

belka [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Simpson Paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon whereby particular trends are prevalent in small data portions but are not evident or an inverse trend is observe when the portions are joined together is known as Simpson's paradox.

Whereby the data for calculating the bating averages as found online are given as follows;

Season, Derek Jeter David Justice

1995, 12/48 = 0.250 104/411 ≈ 0.253

1996, 183/582 ≈ 0.314 45/140 ≈ 0.321

The overall hits to the overall bats ratio are;

, (183 + 12)/(582 + 48) ≈0.310 (104+45)/(411+140) = 0.27

Which shows that Derek Jeter's overall average was better than Justice's average
