c) Work out the difference between the masses of Jupiter and Saturn.
Give your answer in standard form.

The volume of gas a balloon can hold varies directly as the cube of its radius. imagine a balloon with a radius of 3 inches can hold 81 cubic inches of gas. how many cubic inches of gas must be released to reduce the radius down to 2 inches?

Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction or disjunction. then find its truth value. p: an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides. q: a right angle measures 90° r: four points are always coplanar. s: a decagon has 12 sides. a) a right angle measures 90° or an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides; true. b) a right angle measures 90° and an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides; true. c) a right angle measures 90° and an isosceles triangle does not have two congruent sides; false. d) a right angle measures 90° or an isosceles triangle does not have two congruent sides; true.

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.
