Answer:

Probability = 0.2975

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving:

<u>Swimming</u>

P(Win[Swim])= 65\%

<u>Running</u>

P(Win[Run])= 85\%

<u>Required</u>

Determine the probability of winning at running and losing at swimming

First, we calculate the probability of losing at swimming using

P(Win) + P(Lose) = 1

Substitute 65% for P(Win)

65\% + P(Lose[Swim]) = 1

Collect Like Terms

P(Lose[Swim]) = 1 - 65\%

P(Lose[Swim]) = 35\%

The required probability is then calculated using:

Probability = P(Win[Run]) * P(Lose[Swim])

Probability = 85\% * 35\%

Convert to decimal

Probability = 0.85 * 0.35

Probability = 0.2975

How is the answer 35? How do I get it?
vlabodo [156]
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.

9) If two ropes measure 3 2/3 yards and 8/9 yard, how much longer is the first
jenyasd209 [6]
Think of two ropes next to each other. Draw a picture if it helps. To find how much longer, start with the longer one and subtract the shorter length to get the difference, or “how much longer.”
To subtract fractions they have to be changed to the same denominator. First change 3 2/3 to a complex fraction; multiply the coefficient 3 times the denominator 3, then add the numerator. 3X3=9. 9+2=11 . 11 is now numerator, use same denominator. So you get 11/3. Then change denominator to 9. To do this you have to multiply by what? You would multiply by 3. Do the same to the numerator: 11 X 3=33. The fraction becomes 33/9. Now you can subtract. Now that both have the same denominator, you just subtract the numerators. 33-8=25. So, 33/9-8/9= 25/9

Jeremiah is working on a model bridge. He needs to create triangular components, and he plans to use toothpicks. He finds three
icang [17]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to triangle inequality theorem which state that: the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Now let's test the given parameters if they obey this theorem

4 inches, 5 inches and 1 inch

4 + 5 = 9

9 > 1 correct

5 + 1 = 6

6 > 4 correct

4 + 1 = 5

5 not > 5 wrong

Therefore he won't be able to create the triangular component with these toothpicks without modifying any of the lengths
