Damien is competing in both swimming and running at a competition. After analyzing himself and his competitors, he knows that he has a 65% chance of winning at swimming and an 85% chance of winning at running. What is the probability that he will win the running event, but lose the swimming event?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving:

Swimming

[tex]P(Win[Swim])= 65\%[/tex]

Running

[tex]P(Win[Run])= 85\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of winning at running and losing at swimming

First, we calculate the probability of losing at swimming using

[tex]P(Win) + P(Lose) = 1[/tex]

Substitute 65% for P(Win)

[tex]65\% + P(Lose[Swim]) = 1[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 1 - 65\%[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 35\%[/tex]

The required probability is then calculated using:

[tex]Probability = P(Win[Run]) * P(Lose[Swim])[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 85\% * 35\%[/tex]

Convert to decimal

[tex]Probability = 0.85 * 0.35[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]3410[/tex] steps each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On Tuesday, Julissa worked from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

Julissa had walked [tex]20,458[/tex] steps preparing orders to be shipped.

To find: Number of steps, approximately, she walked each hour.

Solution: We have,

Total number of steps [tex]=20,458[/tex] steps.

Number of hours, from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. [tex]=6[/tex] hours.

So, number of steps she walked each hour [tex]=\frac{20,458}{6} =3409.67[/tex] steps.

Hence, Julissa walked approximately [tex]3410[/tex] steps each hour.

Answers

Answer:

24 blue beads

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of blue beads is calculated as:

Percentage of blue beads × Total number of beads

Total number of beads = 40 beads

Hence:

= 60% × Total number of beads

= 60% × 40

= 60/100 × 40

= 24 blue beads

Lucy borrowed $425 from Colleen. Colleen charges Lucy 5.3% interest if Lucy pays Colleen back in 3 years how much does she pay Colleen back altogether

Answers

Answer: Lucy pays $ 492.58  back altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Given: Principal  = $425  , rate = 5.3% = 0.053 , time = 3 years

Interest = 425 x 0.053 x 3 ≈ $ 67.58

Total amount need to pay back = Principal + Interest

= $ (425+67.58)

= $ 492.58

Hence, Lucy pays $ 492.58  back altogether.

Steph and heather run a 5k run race . Heather runs 3/3 of a lap around course. Steph runs 3/9 of a lap around the race course. How much farther does heather run than steph

Answers

Answer:

2.07 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If Heather runs 3/3 of a lap around course. Steph runs 3/9 of a lap around the race course, the difference in the distance run by Heather and Steph is 3/3 - 3/9 = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Since a 5k run race is 3.1 miles, Heather goes 2/3 × 3.1 miles = 6.2/3 miles = 2.07 miles more than Steph.

If the manufacturer gains 6 %, the wholesale dealer 8% and the retailer 10 %. Then what
is the production cost of geyser whose retail price is Rs. 15741?

Answers

Answer:

The production cost is Rs 12,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the production cost be $x

At any point in time

sales price = cost price +( profit percentage* cost price)

Manufacturer gaining 6%

That would be;

x + 6% of x

x + 0.06x

= 1.06x

Wholesaler gaining 8%

= 1.06x + 8% of 1.06x

1.06x + 0.08(1.06x)

= 1.06x + 0.0848x

= 1.1448x

The for the retailer

= 1.1448x + 10% of 1.1448x

= 1.1448x + 0.11448x

= 1.25928x

1.25928x = 15,741

x = 15,741/1.25928

x = 12,500

At a school cafeteria a cold lunch costs $1.80, and a hot lunch costs $3.00. During one school year a school year a teacher spent a total of $288.60 on cold lunches and hot lunches. The number of cold lunches the teacher bought was 1 fewer than twice the number of hot lunches the teacher bought. Which system of equations can be used to find c, the number of cold lunches, and h, the number of hot lunches, the teacher taught during the school year?

Answers

Answer:

System of Equations is given as:

c = 2h - 1...... Equation 1

1.8c + 3h = 288.60....Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The number of Cold lunch = c

The number of Hot lunch = h

The number of cold lunches the teacher bought was 1 fewer than twice the number of hot lunches the teacher bought.

Hence:

c = 2h - 1

At a school cafeteria a cold lunch costs $1.80, and a hot lunch costs $3.00. During one school year a school year a teacher spent a total of $288.60 on cold lunches and hot lunches.

Hence:

$1.80 × c + $3.00 × h = $288.60

1.8c + 3h = 288.60....Equation 2

The system of equations can be used to find c, the number of cold lunches, and h, the number of hot lunches, the teacher taught during the school year is given as:

c = 2h - 1...... Equation 1

1.8c + 3h = 288.60....Equation 2

The system of equations that can be used to calculate the number of hot and cold lunches is [tex]\mathbf{1.80c +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{c = 2h - 1}[/tex]

Let h represents hot lunch, and c represents cold lunch.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{1.80c +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{c = 2h - 1}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{c = 2h - 1}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{1.80c +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1.80(2h -1) +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{3.60h -1.80 +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{3.60h +3.00h = 288.60 + 1.80}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{6.60h = 290.4}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6.60

[tex]\mathbf{h = 44}[/tex]

Substitute 44 for h in [tex]\mathbf{c = 2h - 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{c = 2(44) - 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{c = 83}[/tex]

Hence, the system of equations that can be used to calculate the number of hot and cold lunches is [tex]\mathbf{1.80c +3.00h = 288.60}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{c = 2h - 1}[/tex]

If a segment has an endpoint at (-2, -5) and a midpoint at (-5, -1), determine the coordinates of the other endpoint.

Answers

Answer:

The other end of the line segment is at (-8, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know one end point and the midpoint, all we need to do is take the vector from the end point to the midpoint, and add it again to the midpoint to find the other end point:

dx = -5 - (-2) = -3

dy = -1 - (-5) = 4

-5 + dx = -8

-1 + dx = 3

So the other end of the line segment is at (-8, 3)

If a segment has an endpoint at (-2, -5) and a midpoint at (-5, -1), the coordinates of the other endpoint are (-8, 3)

The midpoint of a line segment is given as:

[tex]a=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\\\b=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

One of the endpoints of the line segment is (-2, -5)

That is, [tex]x_1=-2, y_1=-5[/tex]

Let the coordinates of the other endpoint be [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex]

Solving for [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] in  the equation:

[tex]a=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\\\b=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-5=\frac{-2+x_2}{2} \\\\-2+x_2=-5(2)\\\\x_2=-10+2\\\\x_2=-8[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y_2[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \\\\-1=\frac{-5+y_2}{2} \\\\-2=-5+y_2\\\\y_2=-2+5\\\\y_2=3[/tex]

The coordinates of the other endpoint are (-8, 3)
