Answer:

36\ tigers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of lions

y ----> the number f tigers

z ----> the number of zebras

we know that

x+y+z=120 ----> equation A

Remember that

20\%=20/100=0.20

50\%=50/100=0.50

To find out the number of lions, multiply the total animals by the percentage of lions

x=0.20(120)=24\ lions

To find out the number of zebras, multiply the total animals by the percentage of zebras

z=0.50(120)=60\ zebras

Substitute the value of x and the value of z in equation A and solve for y

24+y+60=120

y+84=120

y=36\ tigers

The weight of a box of cereal can vary by of an ounce and still be sold as a full box. Each box is supposed to contain 18 ounces
mezya [45]

Answer:

If a box is supposed to contain 18 ounces, and the acceptable error is 1 ounce, then the acceptable range is:

18 oz - 1oz = 17oz to 18oz + 1oz = 19oz

Then the acceptable range is (17oz, 19oz)

if the weight is smaller than 17 oz, the box is not acceptable.

If the weight is bigger than 19 oz, the box is not acceptable.

Then the graph of the boxes that can not be sold as full boxes is:

<---16---------17-------18--------19-------20----------->

where 17oz and 19oz are not included, because are acceptable weigths.

Problem 5 (4+4+4=12) We roll two fair 6-sided dice. Each one of the 36 possible outcomes is assumed to be equally likely. 1) Fin
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1

p(b) =  \frac{1}{6}

2

p(k) =  \frac{1}{3}

3

P(a) =  \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the doubles are

(1 1) , ( 2 2) , (3 3) , (4 4) , ( 5 5 ), (6 6)

The total outcome of doubles is N = 6

The total outcome of the rolling the two fair 6-sided dice is

n = 36

Generally the probability that doubles (i.e., having an equal number on the two dice) were rolled is mathematically evaluated as

p(b) =  \frac{N}{n}

p(b) =  \frac{6}{36}

p(b) =  \frac{1}{6}

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the outcome whose sum is 4 or less is

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)

Looking at this outcome we see that there are two doubles present

So

The conditional probability that doubles were rolled is mathematically represented as

p(k) =  \frac{2}{6}

p(k) =  \frac{1}{3}

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the number of outcomes that would land on different numbers is L = 30

And the number of outcomes that at least one die is a 1 is W = 10

So

The conditional probability that at least one die is a 1 is mathematically represented as

P(a) =  \frac{W}{L}

=> P(a) =  \frac{10}{30}

=> P(a) =  \frac{1}{3}

A snowboarder leaves an 8-foot-tall ramp with an upward velocity of 28 feet per second. The function h   16t 2  28t 8 gives
mr_godi [17]

The complete question is;

A snowboarder leaves an 8-foot-tall ramp with an upward velocity of 28 feet per second. The function h = -16t² + 28t + 8 gives the height h (in feet) of the snowboarder after t seconds. The snowboarder earns 1 point per foot of the maximum height reached, 5 points per second in the air, and 25 points for a perfect landing. With a perfect landing, how many total points does the snowboarder receive?

Answer:

Total points earned with a perfect landing = 111 points

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's find the maximum height of the given parabolic function h = -16t² + 28t + 8

h_max = c - (b²/4a)

where: a = -16, b = 28, c = 8

h_max = 8² - 28²/(4*(-16))

h_max = 64 + 784/64

h max = 76.25 ft ≈ 76 ft

The question says that the snowboarder earns 1 point per foot of the maximum height reached.

Thus, the points from the maximum height reached are 76 points

Now, let's find the maximum time in air by solving the equation for h = 0 Thus;

-16t² + 28t +8 = 0

Using quadratic formula,

t = [-28 ± √(28² - (4*-16*8))]/(2*-16)

t = 2 or -0.25

We'll use 2 as we are looking for maximum time.

The question says at maximum time, it's 5 points for each second in the air,

thus, points for seconds in air = 5 × 2 = 10 points

We are told 25 points for perfect landing.

Thus,

Total points earned with a perfect landing = 76 + 10 + 25 = 111 points
