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.

What is the difference between factoring and solving ?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

For all real numbers a and b, 2a • b = a2 + b2 Is this true or false? Explain why it false or true.
Andru [333]

Answer:

It's false.... correct is a2+2ab+b2

Step-by-step explanation:

This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9.

That's why it's false.

Engineers measure angles in gradients, which are smaller than degrees. The table shows the conversion of some angle measures in
loris [4]
The table showing the conversion of angle measure in degrees to angles in gradients is attached below.

In order to find the slope we divide the difference of two y-coordinates (or dependent variable which in this case is gradient measure) by the difference of two respective x-coordinates (or independent variable which in this case is degree measure).

For finding the slope we will use the first and the last point given in the table. So, the slope m will be given by:

m= \frac{300-(-200)}{270-(-180)}  \\  \\ 
m= \frac{500}{450} \\  \\ 
m=1.11

So rounding of to nearest hundredth, the slope of line representing the conversion of degrees to gradients is 1.11

vekshin1

X+y=23 (x and y added equal the number of baskets made)

2x+3y=53 (since each basket is worth a certain amount of points, x and y must be multiplied by their amount of baskets and added together to get the total number of points)

Hope this helps!

At a college, 72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 31% of courses have a res
beks73 [17]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers which means probability of 0.72 for courses that have final exams and 0.46 for courses that require research papers.

31% of courses have a research paper and a final exam, which means probability of 0.31 for both courses with exams and research papers, using Venn diagram approach, find picture attached to the solution.

P(R or E) = P(R) + P(E) - P(R and E), which gives:

P(R or E) = 0.15 + 0.41 - 0.31

P(R or E) = 0.25.
