Given:
The number of checkers is 12.
The number of red is 5/6 times of 12.
Multiply 5/6 and 12 to find the number of red.



Hence there are 10 red in checkers.
Explanation:
The triangle is a right triangle if the lengths of its sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: <em>if the square of the length of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides</em>.
Answer:
a) The probability that at least 3 months elapse before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs is P=0.7788
b) The probability that at least 7 months elapsed before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs knowing that 3 months have already elapsed is P=0.7165
Step-by-step explanation:
Tha most appropiate distribution to model the probability of this events is the exponential distribution.
The cumulative distribution function of the exponential distribution is given by:

The destructive earthquakes happen in average once a year. This can be expressed by the parameter λ=1/year.
We can express the probability of having a 3 month period (t=3/12=0.25) without destructive earthquakes as:

Applying the memory-less property of the exponential distribution, in which the past events don't affect the future probabilities, the probability of having at least 7 months (t=0.58) elapsed before the first earthquake given that 3 months have already elapsed, is the same as the probability of having 4 months elapsed before an earthquake.


345 mi; if you travel 69 miles per hour, and drive 5 hours, you have to multiply 69 and 5 to find how far you travel in 5-- 69 times 5 is 345.
