Juanita ran 8.3 miles in Week 1 and 12.09 miles in Week 2. She used the subtraction below to determine how much farther she ran

in Week 2 than in Week 1.
12.09 minus 8.30 = 4.79. All decimals are aligned. The 0 in 12.09 is crossed out and a 1 is above it. The 2 is crossed out in 12.09 and a 1 is above it.

Which error did Juanita make?
She subtracted instead of added.
She aligned the decimal points incorrectly.
She did not regroup correctly when subtracting.
She made a computational error when subtracting.

Step-by-step explanation:

12.09 - 8.30 = 3.79

The reason why her answer was wrong is because when the '2' gets slashed into a '1' during carry over, it would have been 11 - 8 = 3 instead of a 4. (the 1st column)

The error that Juanita made is that she made a computational error when subtracting.

Answer:

  • She made a computational error when subtracting.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>She subtracted instead of added. </u>

  • No, she needed to subtract to find the difference.

<u>She aligned the decimal points incorrectly. </u>

  • No, she did it right.

<u>She did not regroup correctly when subtracting. </u>

  • No, she regrouped correctly.

<u>She made a computational error when subtracting.</u>

  • Yes. She made an error at last step, instead of subtracting 8 from 11 she subtracted 8 from 12 and got the first digit wrong (4 instead of 3).

There is a 30 percent chance that A can fix her busted computer. If A cannot, then there is a 40 percent chance that her friend
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

(a) 0.70

(b) 0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually-exclusive events are those events which cannot occur together.

Consider that events X and Y are mutually exclusive.

P (X and Y) = 0

Here the two events can be defined as follows:

A = A can fix the busted computer

B = B can fix the busted computer

The information provided are as follows:

P (A) = 0.30

P (B) = 0.40

If A cannot, then there is a chance that her friend B can fix it.

The above statement suggest that the events A and B are mutually exclusive, i.e. if A can fix the computer then B does not have to and if cannot then only B will fix it.

That is, P (A and B) = 0.

(a)

Compute the probability it will be fixed by either A or B as follows:

P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A and B)

                = 0.30 + 0.40 - 0

                = 0.70

Thus, the probability it will be fixed by either A or B is 0.70.

(b)

Compute the probability that if it is fixed it will be fixed by B as follows:

P (not A and B) = P (B) - P (A and B)

                         = 0.40 - 0

                         = 0.40

Thus, the probability that if it is fixed it will be fixed by B is 0.40.

Hair colors are an example of which type of data?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Nominal data are used to label variables without any quantitative value. Common examples include male/female (albeit somewhat outdated), hair color, nationalities, names of people, and so on. In plain English: basically, they're labels (and nominal comes from "name" to help you remember). You have brown hair (or brown eyes).
