Answer:

2s or 3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the height of the object as;

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

The ball reaches the ground when h = 0

Substitute

0 = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

Divide through by -16

0 = t²-5t-6

t²-5t-6 = 0

t²-2t-3t+6 = 0

t(t-2)-3(t-2) = 0

(tt-2)(t-3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 and t-3 = 0

t = 2 and 3s

Hence it will take the ball 2s or 3s to reach the ground

Plastic parts produced by an injection-molding operation are checked for conformance to specifications. Each tool contains 12 ca
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a) 45 possible outcomes

b) 55 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Total cavities = 12

- Selection = 3 parts

- Non-conforming cavities = 2

Find:

a) How many samples contain exactly 1 nonconforming part?

b) How many samples contain at least 1 nonconforming part?

Solution:

- The question asks for the use of combinations to express the outcomes for each scenario.

- For first part, we want the inspector to pick exactly one non-conforming part among 3 selected. So let us say that he has already chosen that one non conforming cavity. Now he has to make 2 more selections out of total conforming cavities = 12 - 2 = 10 conforming cavities. Hence, the total possible outcome is to chose 2 randomly from 10 conforming cavities.

                              ( Exactly 1 ) 10C2 = 45 possible outcomes

- The second part entails that at-least 1 non-conforming cavity is selected. To choose exactly 1 non conforming we calculated above. In the similar way calculate for selecting exactly 2 non-conforming cavities. The total possible outcome would be to choose from 10 conforming and we choose 1 from it:

                              ( Exactly 2 ) 10C1 = 10 possible outcomes

- Hence, for at-least 1 non conforming cavity being selected we same the above two cases calculated:

                             (At-least 1 ) =  ( Exactly 1 ) +  ( Exactly 2 )

                             (At-least 1 ) =  45 + 10 = 55 possible outcomes

A rectangular prism and its dimensions are shown in the diagram.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

51.08 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

S.A = (l x b) + (l × h) + (b × h)

= (8.2 in. × 3.4 in.) + (8.2 in. × 2 in.) + (3.4 in. × 2 in.)

= 27.88 in.² + 16.4 in.² + 6.8 in.²

= 51.08 in.²

Probabilities of an even number, then a 6 then a 4
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The probability of rolling an even number on a fair, six-sided die is 3/6 = 1/2, which results from three of the six possibilities of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} being even numbers.
