Answer:

length of CD = 18 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC and ΔCED,

AB║DE and AD is a transversal line,

m∠ABC = m∠CED [Alternate interior angles]

m∠ACB = m∠DCE [Vertically opposite angles]

ΔABC ~ ΔCED [By AA property of similarity]

Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, corresponding sides will be proportional.

$\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{AC}{DC}$

$\frac{10}{5}=\frac{12}{CD}$

CD = 6

Since, AD = AC + CD

AD = 12 + 6

= 18 units

Therefore, length of CD = 18 units.

Answer:

(C) No, the probability of making a second purchase is not equal to the probability of making a second purchase given that a coupon was sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = the customer makes a second purchase within 30 days and let B = customer is sent a coupon. Events A and B are independent if P(A) = P(A | B).

P(A) = P(the customer makes a second purchase within 30 days) = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5

100

=0.5

P(A | B) = P(the customer makes a second purchase within 30 days | customer is sent a coupon) = \frac{34}{60} = 0.567

=0.567

Because P(A) ≠ P(A | B) making a second purchase is not independent of being sent a coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's a constant 12 miles per hour then it would be

12 mph x 3 hours = 36

then you would add that with the 1/2 hour for

12 mph x 1/2 hours = 6

36 + 6 = 42 miles traveled
