A pilot uses the formula d = a2 + 7290a to find the number of miles d that can be seen when flying at an altitude of a miles. Which set of numbers best describes the values for each variable?


The pilot’s instrument panel will display the altitude a as a rational number in the form of a terminating decimal.

The value of d obtained by replacing a with a rational number can be either irrational or rational (consider a = 1.47).

So, the values of d are best described as real numbers.

Use a calculator to find that 7 2.65.

– is between –1 and 0.34

Compare –9 and – 9. Use the symbols < and >.


Since –9 < –3, it follows that

9 = 3, so – 9 = –3.

–9 < – 9.

b. 4

Which property is illustrated?


a. (–7)(2 • 5) = (–7)(5 • 2) b. 3 • (8 + 0) = 3 • 8

The given equation is true because 2 • 5 = 5 • 2.

So, the equation uses the Commutative Propertyof Multiplication.

The given equation is true because 8 + 0 = 8.

This is an instance of the Identity Property of Addition.

Simplify | 4 |, |–9.2|, and |3 – 8|.


13

–9.2 is 9.2 units from 0, so |–9.2| = 9.2.

|3 – 8| = |–5| and –5 is 5 units from 0. So, |–5| = 5, and hence |3 – 8| = 5.

4 is 4 units from 0, so | 4 | = 4 .13

The expression –0.08y 2 + 3y models the percent increase of Hispanic voters in a town from 1990 to 2000. In the expression, y represents the number of years since 1990. Find the approximate percent of increase of Hispanic voters by 1998.

Since 1998 – 1990 = 8, y = 8 represents the year 1998.

–0.08y2 + 3y = –0.08(8)2 + 3(8) Substitute 8 for y

Describe a simulation you could use that involves flipping a coin to find the experimental probability of guessing exactly 2 answers out of 6 correctly on a true-false quiz.

Getting heads with a flip of a coin has the same probability as guessing the correct answer to a question on a true-false test. So, let heads represent a correct answer and tails represent an incorrect answer. To simulate guessing the answers for a six-question true-false test, flip a coin six times. Record the number of heads. Repeat 100 times. Count to see how many times heads came up exactly twice. Divide this number by 100. The result is the experimental probability that the simulation gives for guessing 2 correct answers out of 6.

The outcome bb is the only one for which a child will have blue eyes. So, P(blue eyes) = .

14The theoretical probability that the child will have blue eyes is , or 25%.


For the dartboard in Example 5, find the probability that a dart that lands at random on the dartboard hits the outer ring.

P(outer ring) = area of outer ring area of circle with radius 4r

= (area of circle with radius 4r) – (area of circle with radius 3r)area of circle with radius 4r

=16 r 2 – 9 r 2

16 r 2

=16 r 2

=(4r)2 – (3r)2

= 7 16

The theoretical probability of hitting the outer ring is , or about 44%. 7 16

3. Answers may vary. Sample: Generate random numbers between 0 and 1 using a graphing calculator. In each random number, examine the first five digits. Let even digits represent correct answers and odd digits incorrect answers. If there are two or more even digits, make a tally mark for that number. Do this 100 times. Find the total number of tally marks. This, as a percent, gives the experimental probability. The simulated probability should be about 70%.

4. Answers may vary. Sample: Toss 5 coins. Keep a tally of the times 3 or more heads are tossed. (A head represents a correct answer.) Do this 100 times. The total number of tally marks, as a percent, gives the experimental probability. The simulated probability should be about 40%.

5. Answers may vary. Sample: Generate 100 random numbers with a calculator. Record the first five digits of each number. Let 0 and 1 represent correct answers and the other digits incorrect answers. Tally the recorded numbers with exactly one digit that represents a correct answer. Tally the recorded numbers with exactly two digits that represent correct answers. Tally the recorded numbers with exactly three digits that represent correct answers. The tally totals, as a percent, give the experimental probabilities. They should be about 40%, 20%, and 5%, respectively.

1. A bowler rolled the ball 35 times and got 5 strikes. What is the experimental probability that the bowler gets a strike?

2. Describe a simulation you could use that involves flipping a coin to find the experimental probability of guessing at least four correct answers on a five-question true or false quiz.

3. What is the theoretical probability of rolling a sum less than 5 using two number cubes?

4. Segments parallel to the sides are used to divide a square board 3 ft on each side into 9 equal-size smaller squares. If the board is in a level position and a grain of rice lands on the board at a random point, what is the probability that it lands on a corner section?

Answers may vary. Sample: Let heads represent a correct answer and tails represent an incorrect answer. Flip the coin five times. Record the number of heads. Repeat 100 times. Divide the number of times you got 4 or 5 heads by 100.
