Dustin decides to guess a sum of six. Melanie decides to guess a sum of seven.

Which player made the better decision? ________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Melanie is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer 2

Melanie made the better decision if Dustin and Melanie are playing a game, where two standard, six-sided number cubes are rolled.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

Dustin and Melanie are playing a game, where two standards, six-sided number cubes are rolled.

If the sum is 6:

The possible outcomes are = {(3,3), (2,4), (4,2), (1,5), and (5,1)}

Total outcomes = 5

If the sum is 7:

The possible outcomes are = {(1,6), (6,1), (5,2),( 2,5), (3, 4), (4,3)}

Total outcomes = 7

Thus, Melanie made the better decision if Dustin and Melanie are playing a game, where two standards, six-sided number cubes are rolled.

In your math class there are 15 boys and 21 girls. 12 of the boys and 15 of the girls are freshmen. if you randomly choose a student in your class, what is the probability that you'll choose a girl or a freshman?

Answers

Final answer:

The probability of randomly choosing a girl or a freshman from the class is 0.916 or 91.6%. This is calculated by considering the total number of girls and freshmen in the class, while avoiding double-counting freshman girls in the calculation.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability that a randomly chosen student from the class is either a girl or a freshman, we need to consider the total number of students in the class, as well as the number of girls and the number of freshmen. The class consists of 15 boys and 21 girls, totaling 36 students. Out of these, 12 boys are freshmen and 15 girls are freshmen, but we must avoid double-counting the girls who are also freshmen.

First, we calculate the total number of freshmen: 12 boys + 15 girls = 27 freshmen. Next, we calculate the probability of picking a girl: 21 girls / 36 total students = 0.583 (to three decimal places). We then calculate the probability of picking a freshman: 27 freshmen / 36 total students = 0.750. However, since the freshmen include both boys and girls, we must subtract the probability of picking a freshman girl to avoid double-counting: 15 girls who are freshmen / 36 total students = 0.417.

Finally, we add the probability of picking a girl and the probability of picking a freshman, and subtract the probability of picking a freshman girl to obtain the inclusive probability: 0.583 (girl) + 0.750 (freshman) - 0.417 (freshman girl) = 0.916.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student is either a girl or a freshman is 0.916, or 91.6%.

Matt is saving to buy a new motorcycle. If he deposits $60 at the end of each month in an account that pays an annual interest rate of 3.5%, how much will he have in 15 months? Assume that the compounding is being done monthly.,

Answers

This is a problem of compound interest because the interest received one month is added to the money deposited on which you calculate the interest the next month.

You need to apply the following formula:
C = P[ [tex] (1+r)^{t} [/tex] - 1]
where:
C = compound interest you need
P = original amount of money deposited
r = is the rate, written as a rational number
t = number of months

Pluggin in numbers:
C = 60[ [tex] (1+0.035)^{15} [/tex] - 1] = 40.52$

Now, you need to add this amunt to the original amunt:
(60+40.52) = 100.52$

Therefore, Matt will have 100.52$ after 15 months.

Andrea is planting a rectangular garden with a length of 6 feet and a width of 5 feet. Her mother is planting another garden that is 60% of the length of Andrea's garden and 150% of the width of Andrea's garden.

The length of her mother's garden is--- feet, and the width is---- feet.

Answers

Length:
60% of 6 is 3.6

3.6 x 6 = 21.6


Width:
150% of 5 is 7.5

7.5 x 5 = 37.5

So her mothers garden should be 21.6 feet in length, and 37.5 feet in width.

The answer is 3.6 and 7.5

You are actually incorrect, as setting x=0 shows that the shifted graph needs to hit the y-axis at -2 (a downshift of 2). Similarly setting y=0, we find that x then becomes -1, since the absolute value of x +1 =0 implies that x=-1. So the correct answer is actually a shift down of 2 and left of 1.

I find it convenient to draw a graph of a line that represents the ladder. I choose to have the y-intercept be where the ladder touches Catie's head (5.5 feet above the ground), and the x-intercept to be where the ladder touches the ground, 16 inches away from Catie.

Then the wall is 4.5 feet (54 inches) from the ladder's base, or 38 inches in the other direction from Catie. The graph shows the ladder hits the wall at a height of about 18.6 feet.

The graph shows the calculations for the position of the wall and for the equation of the line. (The line is written in "intercept form.") The graphing calculator shows the intercept points, so no "work" is required except to highlight them.

In Panama City in January, high tide was at midnight. The water level at high tide was 9 feet and 1 foot at low tide. Assuming the next high tide is exactly 12 hours later and that the height of the water can be modeled by a cosine curve, find an equation for water level in January for Panama City as a function of time (t).,

Answers

The cosine function cos(x), as you know, has a peak at x=0, a minimum at x=π, and another peak at x=2π. That is, its period is 2π. Its amplitude is 1, meaning the peak is +1 and the minimum is -1.

Problems where sine or cosine functions are used to model periodic behavior are problems in scaling. You need to match the period and amplitude of your scaled cosine function to the period and amplitude of the phenomenon you are modeling.

Here, high tides are 12 hours apart, so we need to scale x by a factor that turns 12 hours into 2π. That might be x ⇒ 2πx/12 or (π/6)x.

The high tide is 9 ft, and the low tide is 1 ft, so we need to do vertical offset and scaling to make the peak of our transformed cosine function be 9 and its minimum be 1. That difference is 8, so has an amplitude of ±4 around a midline of (9+1)/2 = 5.

Then our tide model is
.. water level = 5 +4*cos((π/6)t)

Identify the 25th term of the arithmetic sequence 2, 1 and 3 over 5,
1 and 1 over 5 …
@ranga

Answers

First, you have to transform your numbers into proper fractions:
1 and 3/5 = (5+3)/5 = 8/5
1 and 1/5 = (5+1)/5 = 6/5

Therefore your arithmetic sequence is 2, 8/5, 6/5, ...

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between a given term and the preceding one is equal to the difference between the following term and the given one. In your case:
d = 8/5 - 2 = (8-10)/5 = -2/5
As a prove: d = 6/5 - 8/5 = -2/5

Now, in order to find the 25th term you need to apply the formula:
an = a + (n - 1)d
where an is the number you are looking for, a is the first term, n is the term you are looking for and d is the distance.
Hence, 
a₂₅ = 2 + (25-1)(-2/5) = 2 - 24·2/5 = 2 - 48/5 = (10-48)/5 = -38/5

-7 3/5 is the correct answer simplified.

A man 50 years old has 8 sons born of equal intervals. The sum of the ages of the father and sons is 186. What is the age of the eldest son if the youngest is 3 years old.,

Answers

To find the age of the eldest son in a family where the father is 50 and has 8 sons with a total age sum of 186, and the youngest son is 3, one can determine the age difference between siblings and use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series.

The question is asking us to determine the age of the eldest son, given that the sum of the ages of a 50-year-old father and his 8 sons is 186 years and the youngest son is 3 years old. Let's assume that the sons are born at equal intervals; we can denote the age difference between each son as 'd' years.

The sequence of the sons' ages forms an arithmetic series where the youngest son is 3 years old (the first term of the series, or 'a1'), and the eldest son's age will be 'a1 + 7d' (since there are 8 sons).

Since the sum of an arithmetic series is given by the formula 'n/2 * (a1 + an)', where 'n' is the number of terms, 'a1' is the first term and 'an' is the last term, we can set up the equation:
8/2 * (3 + (3 + 7d)) = 186 - 50 (subtract the father's age from the total sum).
This simplifies to 4 * (3 + 3 + 7d) = 136, or '4 * (6 + 7d) = 136'. Dividing both sides by 4, we get '6 + 7d = 34', which leads to '7d = 28' and thus 'd = 4'.

Therefore, the age of the eldest son will be '3 + 7*4', which equals 31 years old.

The sum of two numbers is 240. the larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. find the numbers. the smaller number is , and the larger number is

Answers

The sum of two numbers is 240. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. Find the numbers.
----------
Let the smaller be "x" ; Larger is "2x-6"
EQUATION:

x + 2x-6 = 240

3x= 246

x = 82 (smaller)

2x-6 = 158 (larger)

The smaller number is 82 and the larger number is 158.

Given that, the sum of two numbers is 240.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Let the smaller number be x.

The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller.

Larger number = 2x - 6

Now, the sum of two numbers is 240.

So, x+2x-6 = 240

⇒ 3x - 6 =240

⇒ 3x = 246

⇒ x = 82

Larger number = 240 - 82

= 158

Therefore, the smaller number is 82 and the larger number is 158.

Look at the beginning of the recursive formula:

[tex]\sf f(1)=7,f(n)=f(n-1)[/tex]

It gives us the first value, which is 7. The second part means that for whatever term we want to find, we plug that in for 'n'. Say we want to find the second term, let's plug in 2 for 'n':

[tex]\sf f(2)=f(2-1)=f(1)[/tex]

We are left with f(1), which is given as 7. So the second term is 7 and then we have the leftover blank. We already know that the second term is 13. 13 - 7 = 6. Therefore, what must be missing from this recursive formula is + 6.

[tex]\sf f(n)=f(n-1)+6[/tex]

For the explicit function, we want to know what will give us these same values if we plugged in which term we want for 'n'. So if we plugged in 1 for 'n', we want to get 7, and if we plugged in 2 for 'n' we want to get 13, and so on. I can spot the similarity that all of these are additions of 1 to the multiples of 6. 6 * 1 = 6 + 1 = 7, 6 * 2 = 12 + 1 = 13, and so on. We could just write this as:

[tex]\sf 6n+1[/tex]

If you tried plugging in 1, you'd get 7, if you plugged 2 in, you'd get 13, and so on. So this is our explicit formula, the 2nd blank should be 6, and the 3rd blank should be + 1.

For the fourth blank, f(10) would just be plugging in 10 for 'n' into our formula, let's do this:

[tex]\sf 6n+1[/tex]

[tex]\sf 6(10)+1[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]\sf 60+1[/tex]

Add:

[tex]\sf 61[/tex]

So the 4th blank should be 61.
1st blank: each term is 6 more than the previous one, so the appropriate choice is "+6"

2nd blank: The way we write the generic term of an arithmetic sequence is
  a[n] = a[1] +d*(n -1)
You have a[1] = 7 and d = 6, so this is
  a[n] = 7 +6*(n -1) = 6 +6n -6 = 6n +1
The appropriate choice for the 2nd blank is "6"

3rd blank: see the discussion for the 2nd blank. The appropriate choice is "+1"

4th blank: a[10] = 6*10 +1 = 61. The appropriate choice is "61"

Hi there!

To solve for x in this problem, we need to distribute the 5 using the distributive property and then simplify.

5 * x + 5 * 9
= 5x + 45

So, the most simplified form of this expression would be 5x + 45.

Hope this helps!
5(x+9) distribute the 5 to the x and 9.
5*x + 5*9 =
5x + 45
You have to get the x alone so divide both of them by 5
5x/5 + 45/5 = 
x + 9 
To get the x alone subtract it. 
x - x + 9 = 
9 = -x  can't leave x a negative so dived both sides by -1
9/-1 = -x/-1 =
-9 = x or x = -9
