A triangle with sides lengths of 5 and 8 solve for x

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The lengths of two sides is not enough information to determine a unique triangle. There are an infinite number of possible correct answers. If 'x' is the length of the third side, then its length can be anything between 3 and 13.

A football coach is trying to decide: When a team is ahead late in the game, which strategy is better? Play the "regular" defense. Play a "prevent" defense that guards against long gains but makes short gains easier. The coach reviews the outcomes of 100 games. Compare the probability of winning when playing regular defense with the probability of winning when playing prevent defense. Draw a conclusion based on your results.

Answers

B. P(win | regular) = 0.84

    P(win | prevent) = 0.70

    Conclusions : You are more likely to win by playing regular defence.

What is probability ?

The ratio of favourable outcomes of an event and total outcomes of an event is called probability of that event.

What is the conclusion of the problem ?

The number of outcomes of winning by regular defence is 42 out of 50.

∴ P(win | regular) = 42/50 = 0.84

The number of outcomes of winning by prevent defence is 35 out of 50.

∴ P(win | prevent) = 35/50 = 0.70

Conclusion : You are more likely to win by playing regular defence.

Hence the option B is correct.

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning when playing regular defense is 42 over the total 50.  

42/50 = 0.84

The probabilty of also winning when playing Prevent defense is 35 over the total 50 also.

35/50 =  0.70  

0.84 is greater than 0.70 so your more likely to win playing regular defense.

The marketing department of a firm in New York City is curious to see which group of U.S. high school students, from the 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grades, spends the most time watching television each day. After selecting 25 students randomly, they find that 9th graders watch the most television per dayPart A: What is the population?
Part B: What is the sample of the population?
Part C: Discuss collaboratively: Explain the difference between population and sample

Answers

The population is the total number of students from grades 9, 10, 11, 12.
Sample is the small number that represents the population. It is represented by 25 students.

Population is the whole number, sample is part of the whole number.

Henry is making a corn grits recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of corn grits for every 1/2 cup of water. How much water will he need if he uses 1 1/2 cups of corn grits? Enter the number in the box.

Answers

The quantity of water that would be needed if he uses 1(1)/(2) cup of corn grits is 3 cups of water.

Given the following data:

  • Quantity of corn A = (1)/(4) cup of corn
  • Quantity of water A= (1)/(2) cup of water
  • Quantity of corn B = 1(1)/(2) cup of corn

To determine the quantity of water that would be needed if he uses 1(1)/(2) cup of corn grits, we would apply direct proportion:

By direct proportion:

(1)/(4) cup of corn = (1)/(2) cup of water

1(1)/(2) cup of corn = X cup of water

Note:1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X * (1)/(4) = (1)/(2) * (3)/(2) \n\n(X)/(4) = (3)/(4) \n\n4X = 12\n\nX=(12)/(4)

X = 3 cups of water

Answer: 3 cups of water will be needed .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

(1)/(4)\text{ cups of corn grits for every }(1)/(2)\text{ cups of water}

so,

\text{ For every }(1)/(4)\text{ cups of corn grits, cup of water is needed }=(1)/(2)

\text{ For every }1\text{ cup of corn grits, cup of water is needed }=((1)/(2))/((1)/(4))=2

\text{ For every }1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\text{ cups of corn grits, cup of water is needed }=(3)/(2)* 2=3

Hence, 3 cups of water will be needed .
