Answer: Choice C</h3>
The -2/5 means we go to the left 2/5 of a full unit. So we take 2 small little steps (going over 2 little tickmarks), then we move 4 small steps to the right due to the +4/5 portion. Ultimately, we end up at 2/5 as the answer
So -2/5 + 4/5 = 2/5
This can be thought of as -2+4 = 2, then you just stick 5 in the denominator for each term.
Answer:
2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?
E(x)=x*p(x)
Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.
X 1 2 3
P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2
E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2
E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6
E(x)=1.7.
Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.
The scientific notation of 0.25 is 2.5 x 10⁻¹
Scientific notation is used to handle numbers that are very big or very small.
It has 3 parts, the coefficient, the base and the exponent.
There must be 1 digit before the decimal point in the coefficient.
10 is always the base
the exponent signifies the number of places the decimal has moved from its original location to the location before 1 digit. Positive exponent signifies that the decimal point is shifted to the right. Negative exponent signifies that the decimal point is shifted to the left.
In the above scientific notationl
2. 5 is the coefficient
10 is the base
-1 is the exponent. the decimal point shifted one place to the left.
