There are 20 sweets in a box.
x of the sweets are red.
The rest of the sweets are yellow.
Tom takes at random a sweet from the box.
Write down an expression, in terms of x, for the probability that Tom takes a yellow sweet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]probability \: of \: getting \: red \: sweets = \frac{x}{20} \\ probability \: of \: getting \: yellow \: sweets \: = \frac{(20 - x)}{20} [/tex]

Answer 2

The probability of getting red sweets is x/20 and the probability of getting yellow sweet is (20-x)/20.

What is a probability?

Probability is about estimating or calculating how likely or 'probable' something is to happen.

Given that x is the number of red sweets.

The total number of sweets is 20.

The number of yellow sweets = 20 - x.

The probability of getting a red sweet is given by

P(x) = x/20

The probability of getting a yellow sweet is given by

P(20-x) = (20-x)/20

Hence, x/20 is the probability of getting a red sweet and (20-x)/20 is the probability of getting yellow sweet.

If I have 1,518 oranges and sell them for . 25¢ each. How many money would I make?

Answers

Answer:

379.5¢

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of oranges = 1,518

Cost per orange = 0.25¢ each

Amount made = (number of oranges * cost per orange)

Amount made = 1518 * 0.25

Amount made = 379.5¢

Suppose over several years of offering AP Statistics, a high school finds that final exam scores are normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 6.a. What are the mean, standard deviation, and shape of the distribution of x-bar for n = 50?b. What’s the probability a sample of scores will have a mean greater than 80?c. Sketch the distribution curve for part B, showing the area that represents the probability you found.

Answers

Answer:

ux = 78

s= 0.8485

P ( z>0.33)  = 0.3707

Step-by-step explanation:

According to central limit theorem the mean of the population is equal to the mean of the sample and the standard deviation is found by dividing the standard deviation of the population with the square root of the sample size

Thus

ux = u= 78

σ= 6

s= σ/√n= 6/√50= 6/7.07106= 0.8485

We find the z score

Z= X- u / σ

z= 80-78/6

z= 2/6= 1/3=0.333

P ( z>0.33) = 1 - P(z=0.33)

                  = 1- 0.6293

                     = 0.3707

We see in the figure that the blue area represents the area greater than z= 0.333 or area greater than 1/3.

The probability of z= 0.33 from the table is 0.6293

We find the probability of area greater than 0.33 by subtracting from 1 .

The population of new york city in 2013 was about 8,406,000 people which number best appoximates the population as a single digit times a power of ten

Answers

Answer:

8 * 10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to represent the value 8,406,000 in standard. The standard form of an expression is expressed as;

A * 10^n

A is any integer between 1 and 10

n is any integer.

Given the value 8,406,000

8,406,000.

We are going to move the decimal point at the end to first digit value. This point will be shifted 6 times to have;

8,406,000 = 8.6 * 10^6 (Note that n is positive since the value given is greater than 1)

Since we are to express as a single digit times a power of ten, the required answer will be 8 * 10^6

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x² + 2x - 3 and y = -3x - 3.

=> -5x² + 2x - 3 = -3x - 3

=> 5x² - 5x = 0

=> 5x(x - 1) = 0

=> x = 0 or x = 1.

When x = 0, y = -3(0) - 3 = -3.

When x = 1, y = -3(1) - 3 = -6.

The solutions are (0,-3) and (1,-6).

Determine whether the triangles are similar. If similar, state how (AA, SSS, or SAS), and write a similarity statement.

Answers

Answer: The triangles are not similar.

===============================================

Explanation:

Create a 3x3 table. It has 3 rows and 3 columns.

Above the top row, we'll have the side lengths of triangle VUW

Along the left side of the table, we'll have the lengths of triangle LNM

Refer to the diagram below to see what I mean. I used a spreadsheet program to create the table.

Once you have those table headers set up, you'll divide each possible pair of side lengths between the two triangles. For example, VU/LN = 35/20 = 1.75 which is represented as the green cell in the upper left corner (row1,column1). The other 8 green table cells are filled out the same way. This table is a handy way to keep track of all the terms since it's easy to lose track. Again, refer to the diagram below.

After the table is filled out, we need to ask ourselves: "Does a certain value show up 3 times in the green cells?". If so, then we could have similar triangles assuming this value shows up in every row and every column in some fashion.

Unfortunately, we don't have a value show up 3 times in the green cells. The values 1.4 and 1.75 come close by showing up twice, but not three times.

Since we don't have a value show up 3 times, this means that the sides are not proportional to one another. Therefore, the triangles are not similar.

Which of the following are square roots of —8 + 8i/3? Check all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

Options (2) and (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, [tex]\sqrt{-8+8i\sqrt{3}}=(a+bi)[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{-8+8i\sqrt{3}})^2=(a+bi)^2[/tex]

-8 + 8i√3 = a² + b²i² + 2abi

-8 + 8i√3 = a² - b² + 2abi

By comparing both the sides of the equation,

a² - b² = -8 -------(1)

2ab = 8√3

ab = 4√3 ----------(2)

a = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b}[/tex]

By substituting the value of a in equation (1),

[tex](\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b})^2-b^2=-8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{48}{b^2}-b^2=-8[/tex]

48 - b⁴ = -8b²

b⁴ - 8b² - 48 = 0

b⁴ - 12b² + 4b² - 48 = 0

b²(b² - 12) + 4(b² - 12) = 0

(b² + 4)(b² - 12) = 0

b² + 4 = 0 ⇒ b = ±√-4

                     b = ± 2i

b² - 12 = 0 ⇒ b = ±2√3

Since, a = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b}[/tex]

For b = ±2i,

a = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\pm2i}[/tex]

  = [tex]\pm\frac{2i\sqrt{3}}{(-1)}[/tex]

  = [tex]\mp 2i\sqrt{3}[/tex]

But a is real therefore, a ≠ ±2i√3.

For b = ±2√3

a = [tex]\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\pm 2\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

a = ±2

Therefore, (a + bi) = (2 + 2i√3) and (-2 - 2i√3)

Options (2) and (3) are the correct options.

Seperate 82 in two parts so that one of the parts is 3 times bigger than the other part

Answers

Answer:

one part = 20.5

the other part = 61.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let one part = x

let another part = y

(1) create two equations

i) 82 is separated into 2 parts, x and y. it means x plus y equals to 82

x+y = 82

ii) one part is bigger than the other. if x is the bigger part, it is 3 times bigger than y

x = 3y

(2) use substitution method to find the value of x and y

x+y = 82 -------- (1)

x = 3y ---------- (2)

substitute (2) into (1)

x+y = 82

3y+y = 82

4y = 82

y = 82/4

y = 20.5

substitute y = 20.5 into (2)

x = 3y

x = 3(20.5)

x = 61.5
