Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. Choose the probability that best matches each of the following stat

ements: (a) This event is impossible: [ Select ] (b) This event will occur more often than not, but is not extremely likely: [ Select ] (c) This event is extremely unlikely, but it will occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials: [ Select ] (d) This event will occur for sure: [ Select ]

Answer:

(a) 0

(b) 0.6

(c) 0.01

(d) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probabilities: 0, 0.01, 0.3, 0.6, 0.99, and 1 ---> Missing information

Required

Match the probabilities with appropriate values

(a) Impossible:

An impossible event will always have a probability of 0

(b) Occurrence is more often than not, but not extremely likely:

An event that will occur more often than not will have a probability greater than 0.5 but less than 1

However, if the likelihood is not extremely likely, the probability will be closer to 0.5 and 1.

<em>The probability that matches this description is 0.6</em>

(c) Occurrence is extremely unlikely, but will occur once in a while

An event that is extremely unlikely will have a value greater than 0 and the value will be very close to 0.

<em>The probability that matches this description is 0.01</em>

(d) A certain event:

A certain event has a probability of 1

a. Find symmetric equations for the line that passes through the point (4, −4, 8) and is parallel to the vector −1, 4, −3b. Find

daser333 [38]

The line has equation

$\vec r(t)=(4,-4,8)+(-1,4,-3)t$

where $t$ is any real number. $(-1,4,-3)t$ is the line containing all scalar multiples of the vector (-1, 4, -3); we add (4, -4, 8) to shift the line so that it passes through this point while remaining parallel to the the line.

To get the symmetric form, we have

$\begin{cases}x(t)=4-t\\y(t)=-4+4t\\z(t)=8-3t\end{cases}$

Solving for $t$ in each equation gives the symmetric form,

$t=\boxed{4-x=\dfrac{y+4}4=\dfrac{8-z}3}$

The line has intercepts in the coordinate planes wherever either the $x$ , $y$ , or $z$ coordinate is 0.

$xy$ -plane:

$z=0\implies\begin{cases}4-x=\frac83\\\frac{y+4}4=\frac83\end{cases}\implies\left(\dfrac43,\dfrac{20}3,0\right)$

$yz$ -plane:

$x=0\implies\begin{cases}\frac{y+4}4=4\\\frac{8-z}3=4\end{cases}\implies\left(0,12,-4\right)$

$xz$ -plane:

$y=0\implies\begin{cases}4-x=1\\\frac{8-z}3=1\end{cases}\implies\left(3,0,5\right)$

Mr. Clark has a tank that holds 55,000 milliliters of gas. He poured some gas into three containers equally. There were 19,864 m

Temka [501]

Answer:

35,136 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank holds 55,000ml. Mr. Clark poured some gas into 3 container, and at the end there the tank had 19,864. To find how much gas was poured out of the tank it is the same as asking how much gas he poured in the 3 containers, all together. We have to find the difference, subtraction:

55,000 - 19,864 = 35,136ml were poured in the 3 containers or amount of gas poured out of the tank.

Korvikt [17]

<span>Barry’s bagel emporium sells a dozen bagels for $5.00. This price is no longer high enough to create a profit. The owner decides to raise the price. He does not want to alarm his customers with too large of an increase. He is considering four different plans.

</span>
<span>Plan B: Raise the price by 10 percent each week until the price reaches $8.00. - I'd say this plan is the correct one</span>
