Answer:

  a. closer to 0

  b. closer to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

For questions like this, we need to assume that dart landing positions are uniformly distributed across the area. Then the probability of a dart landing in a given area is the ratio of that area to the area of the entire target.

For the purpose of answering "closer to 0 or to 1", an estimate of the probability is sufficient. It is not so close to 1/2 that we need to be extra careful in the computation.

Here, the probability of landing a dart in the black circle is less than the probability of it landing in a 2" square. The ratio of the area of that square to the target area is the square of the ratio of the dimensions, so is ...

  (2/11)² = 4/121 ≈ 1/30.

This is closer to 0 than to 1.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

Then the proportion of the target that is white is greater than 1 - 1/30 = 29/30, which is much closer to 1 than to zero.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For the black circle to cover half the target area, it would have to have a diameter of about 8.78 inches. The probability of hitting that black circle will be closer to 0 for any diameter less than 8.78 inches.

  π(8.78/2)² ≈ 11²/2

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of the square</u>  = l*w = 11*11 = 121  

<u>Area of the circle</u>  = pi r^2 = pi*1^2 =  3.142

<u>Part A</u>

P(hitting the circle) = 3.142 / 121  =  0.026 which is closer to 0.

<u>Part B</u>

P(hitting the outside portion)  = 1 - 0.026 = 0.974 which is closer to 1.

When two dice are rolled, what is the probability the two numbers will have a sum of 5?
ira [324]

When two dice are rolled, then possible outcomes are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Total possible outcomes = 36

In that, we count the ordered pairs that give us sum 5

(1,4) (2,3) (3,2) and (4,1) = 4 outcomes

Probability = (number of times the event occurs)/ (total number of outcomes)

P( sum of 5) = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}

Suppose yoko borrows $3500 at an interest rate of 4% compounded each year Find the amount owed at the end of 1 year
olchik [2.2K]

Amount owed at the end of 1 year is 3640

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that yoko borrows $3500.

Rate of interest charged is 4% compounded each year

Need to determine amount owed at the end of 1 year.

In our case :

Borrowed Amount that is principal P = $3500

Rate of interest r = 4%

Duration = 1 year and as it is compounded yearly, number of times interest calculated in 1 year n = 1

<em><u>Formula for Amount of compounded yearly is as follows:</u></em>

A=p\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{n}

Where "p" is the principal

"r" is the rate of interest

"n" is the number of years

Substituting the values in above formula we get

\mathrm{A}=3500\left(1+\frac{4}{100}\right)^{1}

\begin{array}{l}{A=\frac{3500 \times 104}{100}} \\\\ {A=35 \times 104} \\\\ {A=3640}\end{array}

Hence amount owed at the end of 1 year is 3640

Triangle ABC was rotated about the origin. Which rule
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer: Choice A   R_0, 90^{\circ}</h3>

The R stands for "rotation". The "O" as a small subscript means "origin" which is where the x and y axis cross. The 90 degrees means we rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. This is equivalent to 270 degrees clockwise, but writing R_0, 270^{\circ} is not correct as we don't rotate 270 degrees counterclockwise.
