The Hawaiian Islands formed as a result of tectonic plate movement over a volcanic hot spot. The rate of plate movement can be calculated using the distance that an island is from the hot spot and the age of the island. A scientist determines that one of the islands is 4860 kilometers from the hot spot and is 6.5 × 107 years old. Which of the following statements are true? Select three that apply.
A. The rate of plate movement is approximately 7.5 cm per year.
B. The rate of plate movement is approximately 7.5 × 10–5 km per year.
C. In a million years, the plate has moved a distance of approximately 75 m. D. In a million years, the plate has moved a distance of approximately 7.5 × 107 mm.

Our star pitcher, foster enlight, can throw a pitch so fast that it gets to the catcher’s mitt before it leaves foster’s fingers! if the team wins a game then the probability that foster was pitching is 0.8 but only if foster had at least one day’s rest since his last pitching assignment. if foster does not have a day off and the team still wins, the probability that foster was pitching drops by half of what it was on the previous day. if the team wins three games in succession from the toronto tachyons and foster pitched in game #2, what is the probability that he pitched in one or more of the other games? (assume that foster did not pitch on the day before the first game of this three game series.)
