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
