The theoretical probability of selecting a consonant at random from a list of
letters in the alphabet is 21. Wayne opens a book, randomly selects a letter on
the page, and records thé fetter. He repeats the experiment 200 times. He Fins
(consonant) = 60%. How does the theoretical probability differ from the
experimental probability? What are some possible sources for this discrepancy?
Vowels = {a, e, i, o, u}
There are 5 vowels out of 26 letters in the English alphabet. This leaves 26-5 = 21 consonants.
The theoretical probability of getting a consonant is 21/26 = 0.8077 = 80.77% approximately
Wayne found the empirical probability of a consonant as 60% which is quite a distance away from the 80.77% mentioned. The discrepancy is likely because vowels are tended to be used quite often in many words.
Words that are composed of consonants only are quite rare, but they do happen. Example: "fly" is a word with only consonants. I'm considering y to be a consonant.

What is the value of 4 in 27.43?
Answer: Tenths
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider two circular swimming pools. Pool A has a radius of 18 feet, and Pool B has a diameter of 11.16 meters. Complete the description for which pool has a greater circumference. Round to the nearest hundredth for each circumference. 1 foot ≈ 0.305 meters
The diameter of Pool A is
17.24
meters. So, the diameter of Pool
A
is greater, and the circumference is
greater
by
meters.
Answer:
The circumference of Pool B is greater than the circumference of Pool A by about 0.56 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the diameter of Pool A.
d = 2r
d = 2(18) Substitute 18 for r.
d = 36 ft
Convert from feet to meters. Use the ratio of 1 foot to 0.305 meters.
36 × 0.305 = 10.98
The diameter of Pool A is about 10.98 meters.
Use the formula to find the circumference of Pool A.
C = πd
C = π(10.98) Substitute 10.98 for d.
C ≈ 3.14(10.98) Substitute 3.14 for π.
C ≈ 34.48 Multiply. Round to the nearest hundredth.
The circumference of Pool A is about 34.48 meters.
Identify the diameter of Pool B.
d = 11.16 m
The diameter of Pool B is 11.16 meters.
Use the formula to find the circumference of Pool B.
C = πd
C = π(11.16) Substitute 11.16 for d.
C ≈ 3.14(11.16) Substitute 3.14 for π.
C ≈ 35.04 Multiply. Round to the nearest hundredth.
The circumference of Pool B is about 35.04 meters.
The circumference of Pool B is greater than the circumference of Pool A.
Find how much greater the circumference of Pool B is compared to the circumference of Pool A.
35.04 − 34.48 = 0.56
The circumference of Pool B is greater than the circumference of Pool A by about 0.56 meters.
According to a study, 45% of americans have type o blood. if a random number generator produces three-digit values from 000 to 999, which values would represent those having type o blood
The values that represent those having type O blood are the values from 000 to 449.
How to determine what range of the RNG should we use?
RNG refers to a random number generator, this means that from 000 to 999 (a total of 1000 numbers) each has the same probability of being randomly selected by the program.
Then, if we want to represent a probability of the 45%, then 0.45 of the number of elements must be assigned to what we want to represent (having type O blood).
0.45*1000 = 450
Then we can assign the first 450 numbers to have type O blood, the first 450 numbers are: {000, 001, ..., 449}
So the values that represent those having type O blood are the values from 000 to 449.

What are the coordinates of the image of vertex G after
a reflection across the line y = x?
O (-4,-5)
O (4, 5)
O (-5,4)
O (5, 4)
Answer:
(- 5, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
under a reflection in the line y = x
a point (x, y ) → (y, x ) , then
G (4, - 5 ) → G' (- 5, 4 )
The coordinates of the image of vertex G are (-5, 4)
What is line of reflection?When reflecting a figure in a line or in a point, the image is congruent to the pre image. A reflection maps every point of a figure to an image across a fixed line. The fixed line is called the line of reflection.
here, we have,
Let us revise some cases of reflection
If the point (x, y) reflected across the x-axis , then its image is (x, -y)
If the point (x, y) reflected across the y-axis , then its image is (-x, y)
If the point (x, y) reflected across the line y = x , then its image is (y, x)
If the point (x, y) reflected across the line y = -x , then its image is (-y, -x)
From the given figure
∵ The line of the reflection is y = x
→ That means we will switch the coordinates of the point to find its image
∵ The coordinates of vertex G are (4, -5)
∴ The x-coordinate = 4 and the y-coordinate = -5
→ Switch the two coordinates
∴ The coordinates of its image G' are (-5, 4)
∴ The coordinates of the image of vertex G are (-5, 4)

the stock market crash of 1929 saw many share prices collapse to a fraction of their previous value. the worst period for this were the two
days monday, october 28 and tuesday, october 29 in which the dow jones industrial average dropped by a total of 25% to a value of 198
points. what was its value before the 2-day drop?
Using proportions, it is found that it's value before the 2-day drop was of 264 points.
What is a proportion?A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the value dropped by 25%, that is, it was 75% of the original amount, and the dropped value was of 198 points, hence the original amount was:
0.75x = 198
x = 198/0.75
x = 264

Which equation is equivalent to 19x+12y=17?
y=−19/12x+17/12y
y=−19x+17
y=−17/12x+19/12
y=19/12x+17/12
19x+12y=17
step 1: move the thing that you're looking for to the left side and all the rest to the right side:
(19x +12y)-19x = 17 -19x
12y = 17 -19x
step 2: to find y, you need to get rid of 12. to do so you need to devide everything by that number:
(12y)/12 = 17/12 -19/12 x
y= 17/12 -19/12 x
step 3: simplify of possible. ( in this exercise it isnt)
step 4: rearange the equation if necessary
y= 17/12 + -19/12x
y= -19/12x + 17/12
1) the length of a rectangle is equal to triple the width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 centimeters, what
are its dimensions?
Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter is
2×length + 2×width = 86
length = 3×width
now we use the second equation as variable identity in the first equation :
2×3×width + 2×width = 86
6×width + 2×width = 86
8×width = 86
width = 86/8 = 43/4 = 10.75 cm
length = 3×width = 3×10.75 = 32.25 cm

A six-sided die is rolled seven times. What is the probability that the die will show an even number at least six times?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation
On a 6 sided die, there are three even numbers (2,4,6)
That's 1/2 the number on the die.
So getting 6 even numbers is
P(6) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 0.00781
Where did that extra 1/2 come from? Well one of the numbers thrown was an odd number, and it has to be counted.
P(7) = the same answer. 0.00781

5 hockey pucks and three hockey sticks cost $23. 5 hockey pucks and 1 hockey stick cost $20. How much does 1 hockey puck cost?
Answer:
$3.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The two purchases describe relations between quantity and price that can be used to write a system of equations for the prices of the hockey pucks and hockey sticks. These equations can be solved to find the price of a hockey puck.
__
setupLet x and y represent the prices of a hockey puck and a hockey stick, respectively. The two purchase values are ...
5x +3y = 23.50
5x +y = 20.00
solutionRearranging the second equation, we have an expression for y:
y = 20.00 -5x . . . . . . subtract 5x from both sides
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
5x +3(20.00 -5x) = 23.50 . . . . . substitute for y
-10x +60.00 = 23.50 . . . . . . simplify
x -6.00 = -2.35 . . . . . . . . divide by -10
x = 3.65 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6
One hockey puck costs $3.65.
Solve the equation for x

Answer:
x = z - m + y
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{z = m+x-y}[/tex]
To solve for x-term, we have to isolate it. We can do by subtracting m-term both sides and add y-term both sides.
[tex]\displaystyle \large{z-m+y=m+x-y-m+y}\\\\\displaystyle \large{z-m+y=x}\\\\\displaystyle \large{x=z-m+y}[/tex]
Therefore, the answer to this question is x = z - m + y
