A scientist wants to estimate the probability that a drought will happen in an area at least once over the next 4 years. The chances of a drought happening in a given year is 12%. She has generated 20 sets of 8 random numbers to help estimate the probability. Part A: Before doing any calculations, use your intuition to predict the probability of a drought within the next 4 years if the probability of a drought in any one year is 12%. (1 point)
Part B: Which pairs of digits, starting at 00, represent a drought happening? Which pairs of digits, ending at 99, represent a drought not happening? (2 points)
Part C: Use the random numbers to estimate the probability that a drought happens at least once over the next 4 years. (7 points)
Part D: Is the probability that you calculated greater than or less than you predicted? Explain. (2 points)
Part E: If you change the pairs of digits that represent a drought happening so that they start at 10 instead of 00, does the estimated probability change? Calculate the estimated probability using the new ranges of numbers. (8 points)

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
