A meticulous method to create this would involve partitioning the spinner into 100 segments and coloring 5 of those. This results in a probability of 5/100 = 0.05 = 5%, indicating that each of the 5 segments has a 5% likelihood of being landed upon.

A more efficient approach is to split it into 20 segments instead. This works because simplifying 5/100 yields 1/20 (by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5). Thus, instead of coloring in 5 segments, Mark should just color 1. If you check this with a calculator, you’ll see that 1/20 = 0.05 = 5% too.

The second choice is more efficient, but a spinner with 20 pieces is still somewhat cumbersome. It may be more practical for Mark to draw random numbers from a hat or use a computer to generate random numbers.

Lines AB and CD and are parallel. Find the measures of the three angles in triangle ABF.
Svet_ta [12734]

Response:    ∠B = 42°   ∠A = 23°  ∠F = 115°

Detailed explanation:

∠B is congruent to ∠C  alternate interior angles  42°

  ∠CDF is supplementary to ∠CDE,

thus m∠CDF = 23°  and ∠FAB is congruent to ∠CDF therefore m∠FAB= 23°

also ∠A is congruent to ∠CDE  corresponding angles  157° ∠FAB is supplementary to ∠A

which leads to 180 - 157 = 23 giving m∠FAB

The sum of angles in a triangle amounts to 180°, so m∠AFB = 180 -(23 +42)

This results in 180- 65 = 115 = m∠F

Below is a probability distribution for the number of failures in an elementary statistics course. X 0 1 2 3 4 P(X=x) 0.41 0.18
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

a) P(X=2)= 0.29

b) P(X<2)= 0.59

c) P(X≤2)= 0.88

d) P(X>2)= 0.12

e) P(X=1 or X=4)= 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4)= 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find P(X=2), we calculate: P(X=2)= 1 - P(X=0) - P(X=1) - P(X=3) - P(X=4) which equals 1 - 0.41 - 0.18 - 0.06 - 0.06, resulting in 0.29

b) For P(X<2), we sum P(X=0) and P(X=1): 0.41 + 0.18 yields 0.59

c) To obtain P(X≤2), we add P(X=0), P(X=1), and P(X=2): 0.41 + 0.18 + 0.29 equals 0.88

d) To calculate P(X>2), we find P(X=3) + P(X=4): 0.06 + 0.06 gives us 0.12

e) For P(X=1 or X=4), we use the union of probabilities: P(X=1) + P(X=4) which is 0.18 + 0.06, resulting in 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4) is found by adding P(X=1), P(X=2), P(X=3), and P(X=4): 0.18 + 0.29 + 0.06 + 0.06 results in 0.59

Bart used place value and the distributive property to rewrite the expression 6(412). His work is shown below. 6(412) = 6(400 +
PIT_PIT [12445]

Bart needs to;

Calculate 6(400), 6(10), and 6(2) ⇒ 2nd

Calculate each addend multiplied by 6 ⇒ 4th

Determine the total of (2400 + 60 + 12) ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step breakdown:

We'll review the distributive property

  • a(b + c) = ab + ac
  • a(b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad

Bart applied place value along with the distributive property to express the

calculation 6(412)

His calculation can be represented as 6(412) = 6(400 + 10 + 2)

We must find out what Bart needs to do to compute the product

∵ 6(412) = 6(400 + 10 + 2)

- Multiply every component inside the brackets by 6 on the right side

∴ 6(400 + 10 + 2) = (6)(400) + (6)(10) + 6(2)

∴ 6(400 + 10 + 2) = 2400 + 60 + 12

∴ He should multiply each addend by 6, then calculate the total of

  (2400 + 60 + 12)

Bart needs to;

Calculate 6(400), 6(10), and 6(2)

Multiply each addend by 6

Compute the total of (2400 + 60 + 12)
