Answer: 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Money spent by Paula for red bell peppers = $2.56

Money spent by Paula on green bell peppers = $1.92

Both pepper cost = $1.60/ pound

Therefore:

Total pounds of bell peppers bought by Paula

= cost of green bell pepper + red red bell pepper / price/pound

= $2.56 + $1.92 / $1.60

= $4.48 / $1.60

= 2.8 pounds

Paula bought 2.8pounds of pepper

Laurel is a huge fan of hats, she likes all kinds of hats and recently started collecting them. She already owns 3 hats. She pla
horsena [70]

Answer:

y=3+x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are ever unsure about how to proceed with a math problem, one thing I find very helpful is to imagine the scenario and sub in the numbers. That's always helped me

At the very beginning, when

x=0, Laurel hasn't bought any new hats yet, she owns 3 hats, so y=3.

After the first month, when x=1, laurel owns 3 hats, plus the 1 hat she just bought. She now owns y=3+1  hats.

After the second month, when

x=2, laurel owns 3 hats, plus the 2

new hats she bought after she started collecting hats. She now owns y=3+2

hats.

Now, we can write the function.

y=3+x

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years,  there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is \frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007.

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by q.

q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007.

So, the probability of survive, p=1-q

\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}

=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}

=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664 (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total n skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}

Here, r=n.

\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}

\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n

\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n

\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993) [ taking \log_e both sides]

\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}

\Rightarrow n=15051.45

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

chen is buying a ham. He wants to divide it into 6.5-ounce servings for 12 people. write and solve a division equation to find w
OLga [1]

Answer:

Amount of people to serve x Serving Size = Size of ham

12 x 6.5 = ?

=78

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking for size ham chen should buy = ?

Amount of people to serve = 12

Serving Size = 6.5-ounce

Equation=

Amount of people to serve x Serving Size = Size of ham

12 x 6.5 = ?

=78

A red candle is 8 inches tall and burns at a rate of 7/10 inch per hour. A blue candle is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of 1
kogti [31]

Answer:

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.

The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.

You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).

80 - 7t = 60 - 2t

-5t = -20

t = 4

The heights are the same after 4 hours.
