Powered by AICalculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (the number of boys) by the total number of outcomes (total students). For a class of 50 with 35 boys, the probability is 35/50 or 0.7, meaning there is a 70% chance a randomly selected student is a boy .
To determine the coordinates after a 180° rotation around the origin, negate both the x and y coordinates of each vertex of the triangle. For a vertex (x, y), the new coordinates after rotation are (-x, -y). Thus, for vertices A(1,3), B(2,5), and C(4,1), the new positions will be A'(-1,-3), B'(-2,-5), and C'(-4,-1).
The total surface area of a box is calculated by finding the area of each of its six faces and summing them. For a cube with sides of length 8 cm, each face is a square with an area of 64 cm². With six sides, the total surface area is 6 times the area of one face, totaling 384 cm² .
Air travel time depends on the constant speed of the airplane and the distance to be covered. If a Boeing 787 flies at 500 km/h, the time to travel between two points relies on the great-circle distance between the coordinates of departure and destination. This time can be computed by dividing the distance by the speed. This approach is applied to calculate the arrival time given the locations of airports at specified latitudes and longitudes .
When a function is defined over specific intervals, its domain is restricted to those intervals described, and the range is determined by the function's values over those intervals. For example, in the given function f(x) = -2 if 0 < x ≤ 5, the domain is (0, 5] and the range is the set containing the single value -2 .
A tree diagram provides a visual representation of all possible outcomes. For Jonika, who has two shirt options (blue and red) and three trouser options (black, green, and yellow), the diagram branches start with each shirt choice and extend to each trouser choice, resulting in six possible combinations. The probability of choosing a specific combination, such as a blue shirt and black trousers, is 1 out of 6, or approximately 16.7% .
First, represent the system of equations as a matrix equation, Ax = b, where A is the coefficient matrix, x is the variable matrix, and b is the constant matrix. For Anna's test, x represents the number of correct answers and y the incorrect answers. Then, calculate the inverse of matrix A, A^-1, and multiply it by the matrix b to solve for matrix x. This yields the number of correct and incorrect answers Anna had .
To calculate the LCM of numbers such as 2, 3, and 5, one needs to list the multiples of each number until a common multiple is found. The smallest common multiple among the numbers is the LCM. The LCM for 2, 3, and 5 is 30 .
The relationship between the buying price and selling price of a mattress is directly proportional. This can be expressed by the equation s = 1.1111b, where s is the selling price and b is the buying price, derived from s = 20,000 and b = 18,000 .
A histogram represents the frequency distribution of data visually. To estimate the mode, you identify the column (or group) in the histogram with the highest frequency. This represents the modal class. For the given distribution of scores, the mode is the score range that appears most frequently, which can be deduced from inspecting the histogram .
