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.

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length

cluponka [151]

gg easy

the legs of a triangle are related as $a^2+b^2=c^2$ wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively

let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

$a^2+b^2=5^2$

$a^2+b^2=25$

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say $a^2=19$ and $b^2=6$ then we get

$a=\sqrt{19}$ and $b=\sqrt{6}$ (which are both irrational)

The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is . The

ziro4ka [17]

<em>Question:</em>

<em>Sal is trying to determine which cell phone and service plan to buy for his mother. The first phone costs $100 and $55 per month for unlimited usage. The second phone costs $150 and $51 per month for unlimited usage. </em>

<em>The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is . </em>

<em>The solution to the inequality is . </em>

<em>Sal’s mother would have to keep the second cell phone plan for at least months in order for it to be less expensive.</em>

Answer:

a. $150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

b. $x > 12.5$

c. At least 13 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First Phone;

$Cost = \$100$

$Additional = \$55$ <em>(monthly)</em>

Second Phone;

$Cost = \$150$

<em /> $Additional = \$51$ <em> (monthly)</em>

<em></em>

Solving (a): The inequality

<em></em>

Represent the number of months with x

The first phone is expressed as:

$100 + 55x$

The second phone is expressed as:

$150 + 51x$

For the second to be less expensive that the first, the inequality is:

$150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

Solving (b): Inequality Solution

$150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

Collect Like Terms

$51x-55x$

$-4x$

Solve for x

$x > -50/-4$

$x > 12.5$

Solving (c): Interpret the solution in (b)

$x > 12.5$ implies 13, 14, 15....

Hence, She'll keep the second phone for a period of at least 13 months

In a golf tournament, Sam played 4 rounds and was within 2 strokes of par for all 4 rounds of the tournament. If par is 72 on th

In-s [12.5K]

Given:

$|x-4(72)|=2$

To find:

The highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament.

Solution:

We have,

$|x-4(72)|=2$

$|x-288|=2$

It can be written as

$x-288=\pm 2$

Add 288 on both sides.

$x=288\pm 2$

$x=288-2$ and $x=288+2$

$x=286$ and $x=290$

Therefore, the highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament are 290 and 286 respectively.

Rumor of the cancellation of final exams began to spread one day on a college campus with a population of 80 thousand students.S

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

P(t) is directly proportional to N and N'.

Where P is the increase in numbers of students who have heard the exam's cancellation rumor at any time t;

N is numbers of students who have heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' is numbers of students who have not heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' = (80 - N). Since the total number of students is 80;

K is the constant of the proportionality.

K is calculated to be 9/700

Therefore,

P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is 80. For N, N' = 80 - N.

Initially, 1 thousand people heard the rumor.

Within/after a day, the increased in number of students who have heard the rumor is P = 10 - 1 = 9

P = 9 = K x 10x (80-10)

9 = K x 10 x 70 = 700K.

Divide both sides by 700,

9/700 = (700/700)K

K = 9/700

Subtitle K into the equation P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x N'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N), where N' = 80 - N
