When the waiter brings the check he also brings a scratch-off ticket that the couple scrapes to reveal a hidden number; call this number X. The value of the number X is the dollar amount that will be subtracted from the dinner bill. The possible values of the scratch-off number X are shown in the table below. The table also shows the probability distribution of the values of X. a) for the past several weeks, the restaurant has also been distributing coupons worth $5 off any dinner for two.

She put numbers in for a, b, and c in the equation a2 + b2 = c2, but the equation isn’t always true. For example, when she put in a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4, she got 4 + 9 = 16, which isn’t correct. Jessica wants to know why the Pythagorean theorem isn’t working. Write an informative paragraph discussing Jessica’s conundrum. Why does the Pythagorean theorem appear not to be correct?

If you go "under par," then your score would be reported as a negative number of strokes below par. Your goal is to get the ball in the hole under par or on par, but not over par. If Scott scored 5 above par on hole 1, 3 below par on hole 2, and on par on hole 3, what was his score after hole 3? His score after hole 3 was 3. (Simplify your answer.)arrow_forward
