Madison went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. Each can of soup has 500 mg of sodium and each

frozen dinner has 700 mg of sodium. Madison purchased 2 more frozen dinners than cans of soup and they all collectively contain 7400 mg of sodium. Determine the number of cans of soup purchased and the number of frozen dinners purchased.

Madison purchased 5 cans of soup and 7 frozen dinners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Quantity of sodium in each soup can = 500 mg

Quantity of sodium in each frozen dinner = 700 mg

Total quantity = 7400

Let,

Number of soup cans purchased = x

Number of frozen dinners purchased = y

According to given statement;

500x+700y=7400        Eqn 1

y = x+2        Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

500x+700(x+2)=7400\\500x+700x+1400=7400\\1200x=7400-1400\\1200x=6000

Dividing both sides by 1200

\frac{1200x}{1200}=\frac{6000}{1200}\\x=5

Putting x=5 in Eqn 2

y=5+2\\y=7

Madison purchased 5 cans of soup and 7 frozen dinners.

Point P partitions the directed segment from A to B into a 1:3 ratio. Q partitions the directed segment from B to A into a 1:3 r
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

c)No, P is the distance from A to B, and Q is the distance from B to A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P partitions the directed segment from A to B into a 1:3 ratio.

Ratio is 1:3

So AP is 1  and PB is 3

Q partitions the directed segment from B to A into a 1:3 ratio.

Ratio is 1:3

So BQ is 1  and QA is 3.

That is AQ= 3  and BQ= 1

The ratio of Q and P varies

AP =1  and AQ=3

So P  and Q  are not at the same point.

Because P is the distance from A  to B  and Q is the distance from B to A

A quality control engineer tests the quality of produced computers. suppose that 5% of computers have defects, and defects occur
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) 0.059582148 probability of exactly 3 defective out of 20

 (b) 0.98598125 probability that at least 5 need to be tested to find 2 defective.

  (a) For exactly 3 defective computers, we need to find the calculate the probability of 3 defective computers with 17 good computers, and then multiply by the number of ways we could arrange those computers. So

 0.05^3 * (1 - 0.05)^(20-3) * 20! / (3!(20-3)!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18*17! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18 / (1*2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*(2*3*3) / (2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*3

 = 0.000125* 0.418120335 * 1140

 = 0.059582148

  (b) For this problem, let's recast the problem into "What's the probability of having only 0 or 1 defective computers out of 4?" After all, if at most 1 defective computers have been found, then a fifth computer would need to be tested in order to attempt to find another defective computer. So the probability of getting 0 defective computers out of 4 is (1-0.05)^4 = 0.95^4 = 0.81450625.

 The probability of getting exactly 1 defective computer out of 4 is 0.05*(1-0.05)^3*4!/(1!(4-1)!)

 = 0.05*0.95^3*24/(1!3!)

 = 0.05*0.857375*24/6

 = 0.171475

 
 So the probability of getting only 0 or 1 defective computers out of the 1st 4 is 0.81450625 + 0.171475 = 0.98598125 which is also the probability that at least 5 computers need to be tested.
