Answer:

Nina will finish first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's c<u>alculate how many pages each person reads in one day</u>:

  • Jayson ⇒ 48 pages / 3 days = 16 pages/day
  • Marcus ⇒ 50 pages / 4 days = 12.5 pages/day
  • Nina ⇒ 120 pages / 5 days = 24 pages/day

Then we <u>divide the number of pages of each book by reading speed of the respective person</u>:

  • Jayson ⇒ 480 pages ÷ 16 pages/day = 30 days
  • Marcus ⇒ 400 pages ÷ 12.5 pages/day = 32 days
  • Nina ⇒ 600 pages ÷ 24 pages/day = 25 days

Thus Nina will take the shortest time finishing her book.

A square has an area that is less than 100m^2. What is a reasonable range for the graph of the square side?
bezimeni [28]
The area of the square is obtained by taking the square of the length of one side. Since it is said that the area of the square is less than 100 m^2, taking the square root of that where: sqrt (100) = 10, the side of that square should be less than 10 as well. Among the choices, D. 0 <y <10 (where y = length of side of square) is the correct answer.

Suppose a couple planned to have three children. Let X be the number of girls the couple has.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) {GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG, BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB}

b) {0,1,2,3}

c)

P(X=2) = \dfrac{3}{8}

d)

P(\text{3 boys}) = \dfrac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Suppose a couple planned to have three children. Let X be the number of girls the couple has.

a) possible arrangements of girls and boys

Sample space:

{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG, BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB}

b) sample space for X

X is the number of girls couple has. Thus, X can take the values 0, 1, 2 and 3 that is 0 girls, 1 girl, 2 girls and three girls from three children.

Sample space: {0,1,2,3}

c) probability that X=2

P(X=2)

That is we have to compute the probability that couple has exactly two girls.

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

Favorable outcome: {GGB, GBG, BGG}

P(X=2) =\dfrac{3}{8}

d) probability that the couple have three boys.

Favorable outcome: {BBB}

P(BBB) = \dfrac{1}{8}
