Corvettes are known as sporty cars that can travel at high rates of speed. It is therefore assumed that they are much more dangerous than minivans. An owner of a Corvette points out that when statistics are studied, there are far more deaths each year from crashes that involve minivans than crashes that involve Corvettes, so Corvettes, so Corvettes must be safer than minivans. The statistics the Covert owner sites are correct. Is his logic faulty? Why or why not? [B]Faulty.[/B] There are hundreds of times more minivans on the road than Corvettes, so we expect more deaths even if they are the safest car on the road.

The only way you can roll a 12 with two dice is 6 and 6. Since each die roll is independent, we have: [LIST] [*]P(12) = P(6) * P(6) [*]P(12) = 1/6 * 1/6 [*]P(12) = 1/36. [/LIST] Now, what is the probability we roll a 12 five times in a row? The same rules apply, each new roll is independent of the last, so we multiply: [LIST] [*]P(12, 12, 12, 12, 12) = 1/36 * 1/36 * 1/36 * 1/36 * /36 [*]P(12, 12, 12, 12, 12) = [B]1/60,466,176[/B] or [B]1.65381717e-8[/B] [/LIST]

What pair of consecutive integers gives the following: 7 times the smaller is less than 6 times the larger? Let x and y be consecutive integers, where y = x + 1 We have 7x < 6y as our inequality. Substituting x, y = x + 1, we have: 7x < 6(x + 1) 7x < 6x + 6 Subtracting x from each side, we have: x < 6, so y = 6 + 1 = 7 (x, y) = (6, 7)

You have saved $50 over the last two weeks and decide to treat yourself by buying some new clothes. You go to the store and find two shirts and three pairs of jeans you like. The two shirts are buy-one-get-one half off, at $22.35 each. The three pairs of jeans are buy-two-get-one-free, at $23.70. Tax Rate for Harmonized Sales Tax is 13% a. What would be the total for the two shirts (don’t forget to include taxes)? b. What would be the total for the three pairs of jeans (don’t forget to include taxes)? c. Which would you buy and why? a. Half of 22.35 is 11.18 So two shirts cost: 22.35 + 11.18 = 33.53 Cost with Tax of 13% is: 33.53 * 1.13 = [B]37.89 [/B] b. Three pairs of jeans are calculated by cost of 1 pair times 2 jeans and you get the third one free: 23.70 * 2 = 47.40 Cost with Tax of 13% is: 47.40 * 1.13 = [B]53.56 [/B] c. Calculate unit cost, which is cost per item Unit cost of Shirts = 37.89 / 2 = [B]18.95[/B] Unit cost of Jeans = 53.56 / 3 = [B]17.85 Buy the jeans since they have a lower unit cost[/B]
