Answer:

(b) 5.66 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to eliminate the unreasonable answers to make the correct choice.

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is its longest side, so the unknown length must be less than 6. That eliminates the last two choices.

The unknown length cannot be less than the difference of the sides shown, so the unknown length must be more than 4. That eliminates the first choice.

The only reasonable choice is ...

B. 5.66 miles

_____

If you like, you can calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.

AB² + 2² = 6²

AB = √(36 -4) = √32 ≈ 5.66 . . . miles

Answer:

a

$P(U |D ) = 0.198$

b

$P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188$

c

$P(O | B) = 0.498$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of deaths is mathematically represented as

$T = 16 + 23 + \cdots + 16$

$T =623$

The total number of deaths in 1996 - 2000 is mathematically represented as

$T_a = 16 + 23+ \cdots + 30$

$T_a = 235$

The total number of deaths in 2001 - 2005 is mathematically represented as

$T_b = 17 + 16 + \cdots + 23$

$T_b = 206$

The total number of deaths in 2006 - 2010 is mathematically represented as

$T_c = 15 + 17 + \cdots + 16$

$T_d = 182$

Generally the the probability that it would occur under the tree given that the death was after 2000 is mathematically represented as

$P(U |D ) = \frac{P(A \ n\ U )}{P(A)}$

Here $P(A \ n\ U )$ represents the probability that it was after 2000 and it was under the tree and this is mathematically represented as

$P(A \ n\ U ) = \frac{Z}{ T}$

Here Z is the total number of death under the tree after 2000 and it is mathematically represented as

$Z = 35 + 42$

=> $Z = 77$

=> $P(A \ n\ U ) = \frac{77}{ 623}$

=>

Also

$P(A)$ is the probability of the death occurring after 2000 and this is mathematically represented as

$P(A) = \frac{T_b + T_c}{ T}$

=> $P(A) = \frac{ 206+ 182}{623}$

=>

So

$P(U |D ) = \frac{\frac{77}{ 623} }{ \frac{ 206+ 182}{623}}$

=> $P(U |D ) = 0.198$

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside and was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

$P(O | B) = \frac{T_z}{ T}$

Here $T_z$ is the total number of death outside / camping before 2001 and the value is 117

So

$P(O \ n \ B) = \frac{117}{623}$

=> $P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188$

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside given that it was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

$P(O | B) = \frac{ P( O \ n \ B)}{ P(B)}$

Here $P(B)$ is the probability that it was before 2001 , this is mathematically represented as

$P(B ) = \frac{T_a}{T}$

=> $P(B ) = \frac{235}{623}$

So

$P(O | B) = \frac{ \frac{117}{623}}{ \frac{235}{623}}$

=> $P(O | B) = 0.498$
