The height of the water in an a over ground pool is 3ft. as the number of water drains ,the rate of -1/2 inch per minute. write and solve an equation to find how many minutes it will take to drain the pool

36 - 1/2x = 0

72 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a total of 3 feet in the pool at the start, 1 ft = 12 in, and 3 ft = 36 in. the pool is losing water, so we have to subtract. it is losing water at a rate of -1/2 in per minute, and we don't know how many minutes it will take

we have to set it equal to 0 because we are trying to find out how long it will be until the pool is completely drained, which is when there will be no water left, so it will be 0

subtract 36 from both sides

-1/2x = -36

divide both sides by -1/2

x = 72

72 minutes

so then what are you asking?

step-by-step explanation:

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
