The last one is the only one that makes sense according to the standard position function.  -16t^2 is the pull of gravity on an object in free fall, and the height is 120 feet above the ground.  Hopefully that's what you need since there's no graph we can refer to

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The explanation that best provides the real-world scenario is:

If an object is dropped from a height of 120 feet, the function                    

                          h(t)=-16t^2+120

gives the height of the object after t seconds.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

a)

If an object is dropped from a height of 120 feet, the function h(t)=-16t^2-120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

This option is incorrect.

Since when t=0 we have:

           h(t)= -120

This is not possible as the object is above the ground and hence must have positive height initially.

b)

If an object is dropped from a height of -16 feet, the function h(t)=-16t^2+120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

This option is incorrect.

Since a object when is dropped from some height then it must be a positive height.

Also, when t=0 we have: h(t)= 120 feet.

This means that the object is dropped from a height of 120 feet.

c)

If an object is dropped from a height of 120 feet, the function h(t)=-16t^2+120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

In this when t=0 we have:

h(t)=120 that means the height of the object initially was 120 feet and then it decreases with the increase in time as the object will reach the ground with the time increase and hence height will decrease.

               Hence, this option is correct.

Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, on
insens350 [35]
1) We have that there are in total 6 outcomes If we name the chips by 1a, 1b, 3 ,5 the combinations are: 1a,3 \ 1b, 3 \1a, 5\ 1b, 5\ 3,5\1a,1b. Of those outcomes, only one give Miguel a profit, 1-1. THen he gets 2 dollars and in the other cases he lose 1 dollar. Thus, there is a 1/6 probability that he gets 2$ and a 5/6 probability that he loses 1$.
2) We can calculate the expected value of the game with the following: E=\frac{1}{6}*2- \frac{5}{6} *1. In general, the formula is E= \sum{p*V} where E is the expected value, p the probability of each event and V the value of each event. This gives a result of E=2/6-5/6=3/6=0.5$ Hence, Miguel loses half a dollar ever y time he plays.
3) We can adjust the value v of the winning event and since we want to have a fair game, the expecation at the end must be 0 (he must neither win or lose on average). Thus, we need to solve the equation for v:
0=\frac{1}{6}v -\frac{5}{6} =0. Multiplying by 6 both parts, we get v-5=0 or that v=5$. Hence, we must give 5$ if 1-1 happens, not 2.
4) So, we have that the probability that you get a red or purple or yellow sector is 2/7. We have that the probability for the blue sector is only 1/7 since there are 7 vectors and only one is blue. Similarly, the 2nd row of the table needs to be filled with the product of probability and expectations. Hence, for the red sector we have 2/7*(-1)=-2/7, for the yellow sector we have 2/7*1=2/7, for the purple sector it is 2/7*0=0, for the blue sector 1/7*3=3/7. The average payoff is given by adding all these, hence it is 3/7.
5) We can approach the problem just like above and set up an equation the value of one sector as an unknown. But here, we can be smarter and notice that the average outcome is equal to the average outcome of the blue sector.  Hence, we can get a fair game if we make the value of the blue sector 0. If this is the case, the sum of the other sectors is 0 too (-2/7+0+2/7) and the expected value is also zero.
6) We want to maximize the points that he is getting. If he shoots three points, he will get 3 points with a probability of 0.30. Hence the average payoff is 0.30*3=0.90. If he passes to his teammate, he will shoot for 2 points, with a success rate of 0.48. Hence, the average payoff is 0.48*2=0.96. We see that he should pass to his player since 0.06 more points are scored on average.
7) Let us use the expections formula we mentioned in 1. Substituting the possibilities and the values for all 4 events (each event is the different profit of the business at the end of the year).
E=0.2*(-10000)+0.4*0+0.3*5000+0.1*8000=-2000+0+1500+800=300$
This is the average payoff of the firm per year.
8) The firm goes even when the total profits equal the investment. Suppose we have that the firm has x years in business. Then x*300=1200 must be satisfied, since the investment is 1200$ and the payoff per year is 300$. We get that x=4. Hence, Claire will get her investment back in 4 years.
