Answer:

n = 144 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- English porcelain miniature figurines in total = 12

- 1 figurine is to be placed in a 100-bag box

Find:-

On the average, how many boxes of tea must be pur-chased by a customer to obtain a complete collection consisting of the 12 nautical figurines?

Solution:-

- We will denote a random variable (X) as the number of figurines in (n) number of bags purchased.

- The probability (p) of finding a figurine in a single bag is ( success ):

p = 1 / 12

- The random variable (X) can follow a binomial distribution with parameters n = number of bags purchased, and p = probability of selecting a bag with a figurine.

X ~ B ( n , 1/12 )

- The average number of bag "n" that need to be purchased to find all 12 figurines available:

E ( X ) = 12

n*p = 12

n = 12 / p

n = 12 / ( 1 / 12) = 12^2

n = 144 bags

- A total of average n = 144 bags need to be purchased to find all the 12 figurines.

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that $n = 154N38$ , then its sum of digits is:

$x = 1 + 5+4+N+3+8$

$x = 21+N$ (Eq. 1)

We have to determine which digits corresponds to multiples of three, there are four digits:

N = 0

$x = 21+0$

$x = 21$ ( $3\times 7 = 21$ )

N = 3

$x = 21+3$

$x = 24$ ( $3\times 8 = 24$ )

N = 6

$x = 21+6$

$x = 27$ ( $3\times 9 = 27$ )

N = 9

$x = 21+9$

$x = 30$ ( $3\times 10 = 30$ )

We get the following four distinct options: 154038, 154338, 154638, 154938. Now we find which number is divisible by 6 and 9 by factor decomposition:

$154038 = 2\times 3\times 25673$

$154338 =2\times 3\times 29 \times 887$

$154638 = 2\times 3\times 3\times 11\times 11\times 71$

$154938 = 2\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 17\times 31$

It is quite evident that $N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Archimedes (ca. 287-212 B.C.) was able to use clever geometric means to determine the relative volumes of a cylinder and the con

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The ration of the volume of cone to that of cylinder is $\frac{V_{cone}}{V_{cy}} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of a cone is mathematically represented as

$V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$

The volume of a cylinder is mathematically represented as

$V_{cy} = \pi r^2 h$

Now the ratio we are to obtain is

$\frac{V_{cone}}{V_{cy}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h}{\pi r^2 h}$

$\frac{V_{cone}}{V_{cy}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} }{1}$ Note: this is possible because the height and base

$\frac{V_{cone}}{V_{cy}} = \frac{1}{3}$ radius are the same
