Why don't we use the Richter scale anymore?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Richter scale was abandoned because it worked best for earthquakes in southern California, and only those hitting within about 370 miles (600 kilometers) of seismometers. These days, scientists detect temblors on the other side of the Earth. In addition, the scale was calculated from one type of earthquake wave, a kind that doesn't help much when measuring truly massive quakes, like Japan's magnitude-9 in 2011. So seismologists created a new scale, called the moment magnitude scale. The moment magnitude scale captures all the different seismic waves from an earthquake, giving a better idea of the shaking and possible damage.

A shirt originally cost $15, but it was marked down 5%. How much does the shirt cost now? Don't forget the $ symbol.​

Answers

Answer:    $14.25

===============================================

Explanation:

There are two approaches we can take.

The first approach is finding the amount we save, which is 5% of 15 = 0.05*15 = 0.75 dollars or 75 cents.

So the new price is 15 - 0.75 = 14.25 dollars

----------------

The second approach is to think of it like this: If you save 5%, then you still have to pay the remaining 95% (the two percentages add to 100%).

95% of 15 = 0.95*15 = 14.25

This second approach is handy if you want to chain multiple discounts together. So let's say there's a special 10% off sale on top of the 5% discount. We would multiply by 0.90 to further discount by 10% and get to 0.90*0.95*15 = 12.825 = 12.83. It also works in reverse too and we could chain percent increases along with percent decreases.

Part B: Plot point C(2,7). If M is the midpoint of CD, what are the coordinates of D?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C =(2,7)[/tex]

 [tex]M=(-1,-1)[/tex]

Required

The coordinates of D

Represent D with:

[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Using midpoint formula, we have:

[tex]M(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](-1,-1) = \frac{1}{2}(2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex](-2,-2) = (2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]

Compare both sides

[tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex]

[tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex]

In [tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex], we have:

[tex]x_2 =-2-2[/tex]

[tex]x_2 =-4[/tex]

In [tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex], we have:

[tex]y_2 = -2 - 7[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = -9[/tex]

So, the coordinates of D is:

[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]

[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]

An airplane flying into a headwind travels the -mile flying distance between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Phoenix, Arizona, in hours. On the return flight, the airplane travels this distance in hours and minutes. Find the airspeed of the plane and the speed of the wind, assuming that both remain constant.

Answers

Answer:

the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The values are missing in the given information in the question.

To able to solve this question, we will make some assumptions.

Let's assume that:

The airplane heading into the wind travels 1800 miles in 3 hours.

While returning via the same distance, it travels 2 hours 30 minutes.

We are to determine the plane's airspeed as well as the wind speed.

First, let us say that the speed of the plane is p and the wind speed is q

during the time the plane is traveling for 1800 miles in 3 hrs.

Then, we can say

3p -3q = 1800 ----- (1)

However, in  2hours 30 minutes, we have 2.5 hours

So, when the plane is returning, we have the following equation:

2.5p + 2.5q = 1800 ---- (2)

So, to find p and q, we can use the elimination method.

Simply by multiplying equation (1) with 5 and equation (2) with 6

 (5)3p    -  (5)3q     = (5) 1800

 (6)2.5p  + (6)2.5q = (6) 1800            

  15p -  15q  = 9000

+

 15p + 15q   = 10800      

 30p -  0     = 19800      

30p = 19800

p = 19800/30

p = 660

Since p = 660, then from equation (1) we can obtain the value of q:

So; Using equation (1):

3p -3q = 1800

3(660) - 3q = 1800

1980 - 3q = 1800

-3q = 1800 - 1980

-3q = -180

q = 180/3

q = 60

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Answer:  

To see the shaded regions, check out the attached image below. The shaded regions are in red.

The fractional values for each figure are:

3/612/246/126/128/169/1812/2412/24

The fractional answers are in bold. All of those fractions reduce to 1/2. Make sure that you don't reduce any of those fractions.

========================================================

Explanation:

We count out the number of squares for each figure. Then we shade half of them. For problem 1, we just shade the left half (or you can shade the right half, but you can only pick one side). This is because 3 is half of 6.

Problem 2 is a similar story, but we'll shade the first two columns out of the four total columns. You could shade the last two columns if you wanted, but you can't shade everything.

Problem 3 has an odd number of columns, but an even number of rows. I'm shading the first two rows to represent half of the blocks.

The rest are handled in a similar manner.

------------

To form the fractional results, you basically count the number of shaded smaller squares out of the number of squares total.

For example, the answer for problem 1 is 3/6 because we have 3 shaded red squares out of 6 squares total. The rest are handled the same way.

Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary​ deck, find the probability that the second is not a black card​, given that the first is a black card. What is the conditional​ probability?

Answers

Answer:

(a)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

(b)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Probability is the likelihood of whether or not an event will occur. It is given by the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of expected outcomes. i.e

P = number of favourable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes

For drawing a first card which is black,

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 black cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 52 (since the total number of cards in a deck of card is 52)

∴ Probability of drawing the first black card = 26 / 52 = 1 / 13

Since the second card is not a black card, it is a red card.

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 red cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 51 (since a black card has been previously picked from the deck)

∴ Probability of drawing a second black card = 26 / 51

The probability that the second is not a black card is 26 / 51

(ii) The conditional probability of a given event B is the probability that the event will occur knowing that a previous event A has already occurred,

It is given by;

P(B|A) = P(A and B) ÷ P(A)

In this case;

event B is drawing a second card which is not black

event A is drawing a first card which is black

This implies that;

P(A and B) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

P(A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Substitute these values in the equation for conditional probability as follows;

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{13}{1}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Therefore the conditional probability is  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

-2x +9y=8

Step by step

Answers

I am assuming that finding the x and y value is the goal for this question since it is not clarified.

So x = y + 3 is a equation we can plug in for x to find the y value.

-2(y+3) + 9y = 8

-2y - 6 + 9y = 8

7y - 6 = 8

7y = 15

y = 15/7

Plug in for the y value since that is now determined to find out x value.

x = 15/7 + 3

x = 15/7 + 21/7

x = 36/7

A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a month of the year is chosen at random, to determine what is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M, the following calculation must be performed:

January - March - May - June - July = 5 months

(5/12) x 100 = X

0.4166 x 100 = X

41.66 = X

Therefore, the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Months that start with the letter M are March and May

Months that start with J are January, June, July

So, in total the months that start with J and M are 5 in number.

Total number of months = 12

Therefore the probability = 5/12 or 0.416 (bar on 6)
