You’re given 3 timings, all in the format of mm:ss (29:12 for example would mean 29 minutes and 12 seconds). They are labelled a

s x, y and z.
When they’re all rounded to the nearest whole number, x, y and z are 29, 29 and 13 respectively, all in minutes.

Thus, when x, y and z are added together, what are the chances that the result is 72 minutes, when rounded to the nearest whole number.

29 + 29 + 13 = 71
The range of possible times in seconds for x is 28:30 - 29:29. Similarly for y.
The range of possible times for z is 12:30 - 13:29
The range of possible values for x + y + z = 69:30 - 72:27 which is 178 seconds long
To be recorded as 72 minutes the sum would be in the range 71:30 - 72:27 which is 58 seconds long
P(result recorded as 72 min) = 58/178

If you simply used the ranges [28.5, 29.5) [28.5, 29.5) and [12.5, 13.5)
then the sum would be in the range [69.5, 72.5)
and P(result recorded as 72 min) = 60 seconds / 180 seconds = 1/3

Using discrete times in seconds gives a slightly different answer but is also much harder to understand.

The ratio of the heights of two similar solids is 6:11. Find the ratio of their surface areas.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The ratio of surface areas is 36:121.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, the ratio of the heights of two similar solids is 6:11. It is required to find the ratio of their surface areas. As the two solids are similar, it means that the ratio of surface areas of solids is directly proportional to the square of their heights such that,

\dfrac{S_1}{S_2}=(\dfrac{h_1}{h_2})^2\\\\\dfrac{S_1}{S_2}=(\dfrac{6}{11})^2\\\\\dfrac{S_1}{S_2}=\dfrac{36}{121}

So, the ratio of surface areas is 36:121.

Which is true of a geometric plane? A) one-dimensional B) two-dimensional C) three-dimensional D) no dimensions, only position
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane extends infinitely in two dimensions. It has no thickness.The plane has two dimensions: <u>length and width</u><u>.</u> But since the plane extends infinitely,the length and width cannot be measured.

Lets take an example of a flat sheet of metal. Imagine a flat sheet of metal. Now make it infinitely large in both directions. This means that no matter how far you go, you never reach its edges. Now imagine that it is so thin that it actually has no thickness at all. In spite of this, it remains completely rigid and flat. This is the 'plane' in geometry.
