The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is
(0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5) = 0.125 = 12.5% .

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways

Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses,
then on the average, the score you expect is
(0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8
= 400 / 8
= 50% .
If you're happy with that score, great !
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.
Explanation:
One formula for the area of a triangle is ...
Area = (1/2)ab·sin(C)
This presumes you know the measures of two sides and the angle between them. The Law of Sines is typically used where you know all the angles and only one side measure.
You would use the law of sines to find an additional side measure, then make use of the above formula for area.
Answer:
The answer will be A because you start at 4 and in between 4 and 5 you will go up to 7 and that will be your answer
Answer:
42 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
y = 0.2*x
is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.
We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.
Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.
Then we need to solve the equation:
y = 8.4 = 0.2*x
for x
To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:
8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2
42 = x
And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.
