Answer:

a. The distance around a circular track. CIRCUMFERENCE

b. The total number of equally-sized tiles on a circular floor. AREA

c. The amount of oil it takes to cover the bottom of a frying pan. AREA

d. The distance your car will go with one turn of the wheels. CIRCUMFERENCE

Step-by-step explanation:

CIRCUMFERENCE : The circumference of a circle is the total length of its boundary.

AREA : Area of a circle is the total region covered buy that circle.

a. The distance around a circular track.

Here, we are covering the distance ONLY around the track and NOT inside it,

Hence, The CIRCUMFERENCE is calculated.

b. The total number of equally-sized tiles on a circular floor.

Here, we are covering the region or the total space occupied by all the tiles on the floor.

Hence, The AREA is calculated.

c. The amount of oil it takes to cover the bottom of a frying pan.

Here, we are covering the region or the total space occupied by all the oil on the bottom of the frying pan.

Hence, The AREA is calculated.

d. The distance your car will go with one turn of the wheels.

Here, the distance covered by wheel in 1 round

= Total length of the boundary of wheel

= The circumference of the wheel

A random experiment was conducted where a Person A tossed five coins and recorded the number of ""heads"". Person B rolled two d

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(10) Person B

(11) Person B

(12) $P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%$

(13) Person B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Person A $\to$ 5 coins (records the outcome of Heads)

Person $\to$ Rolls 2 dice (recorded the larger number)

Person A

First, we list out the sample space of roll of 5 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out all number of heads in each roll (sorted)

$Head = \{5,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,0\}$

$n(Head) = 32$

Person B

First, we list out the sample space of toss of 2 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out the highest in each toss (sorted)

$Dice = \{2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6\}$

$n(Dice) = 30$

Question 10: Who is likely to get number 5

From person A list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

$Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Head)}$

$Pr(5) = \frac{1}{32}$

$Pr(5) = 0.03125$

From person B list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

$Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Dice)}$

$Pr(5) = \frac{8}{30}$

$Pr(5) = 0.267$

From the above calculations:  $0.267 > 0.03125$  Hence, person B is more likely to get 5

Question 11: Person with Higher median

For person A

$Median = \frac{n(Head) + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{32 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{33}{2}th$

$Median = 16.5th$

This means that the median is the mean of the 16th and the 17th item

So,

$Median = \frac{3+2}{2}$

$Median = \frac{5}{2}$

$Median = 2.5$

For person B

$Median = \frac{n(Dice) + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{30 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{31}{2}th$

$Median = 15.5th$

This means that the median is the mean of the 15th and the 16th item. So,

$Median = \frac{5+5}{2}$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}$

$Median = 5$

Person B has a greater median of 5

Question 12: Probability that B gets 5 or 6

This is calculated as:

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}$

From the sample space of person B, we have:

$n(5\ or\ 6) =n(5) + n(6)$

$n(5\ or\ 6) =8+10$

$n(5\ or\ 6) = 18$

So, we have:

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{18}{30}$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = 0.60$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%$

Question 13: Person with higher probability of 3 or more

Person A

$n(3\ or\ more) = 16$

So:

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Head)}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{16}{32}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 0.50$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 50\%$

Person B

$n(3\ or\ more) = 28$

So:

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Dice)}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{28}{30}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 0.933$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 93.3\%$

By comparison:

$93.3\% > 50\%$

Hence, person B has a higher probability of 3 or more

If the sales price of a toy car is $64, including a 20% discount, what was the regular price of the toy card before the discount

Colt1911 [192]

Hi there! So the toy car was on sale for 20%, and the sale price is $64. To find the original price of the toy car, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

64/x = 80/100

This is because 64 is part of the whole, which is the original price, and although you get a 20% discount, you still have to pay 80% of the original price, which is why 80 is over the 100, in stead of 20. Let's cross multiply the values. 64 * 100 is 6,400 and 80 * x is 80x. That leaves 6,400 = 80x. Now, divide each side by 80 to isolate the x. 80x/80 cancels out. 6,400/80 is 80. We found the number, but let's check it. 80 * 80% (0.8) is 64. There. x = 80. The regular price of the toy car was $80.
