Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (–5, –3) and has a center at (–2, 1)? distance formula: (x – 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 25 (x + 2)2 + (y – 1)2 = 5 (x + 2)2 + (y – 1)2 = 25 (x – 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 5

You have a square piece of cardboard that measures 14 inches on each side. to build a box, you cut congruent squares out of each corner of the cardboard. use the picture to find the area of the cardboard you were used to build the box

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.

Asix-sided die of unknown bias is rolled 20 times, and the number 3 comes up 6 times. in the next three rounds (the die is rolled 20 times in each round), the number 3 comes up 6 times, 5 times, and 7 times. the experimental probability of rolling a 3 is 10 %, which is approximately % more than its theoretical probability. (round off your answers to the nearest integer.)
