At a carnival, an individual can win a prize by choosing a rubber duck from a pond with "Win" written on the underside of the du

ck. There are a total of eight ducks with "Win" written on the underside of the duck, and there are 17 ducks with "Lose" written on the underside of the duck. After each pick, if a prize is won, the duck is replaced in the pond. If a prize is not won, then the duck is again placed back into the pond. If an individual makes four picks, what is the probability the individual will win a prize exactly one time?

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success = 8/(8 + 17) = 8/25 = 0.32.

Let X be the random variable denoting the number of successes (number of times the individual won a prize) in four picks.

Hence, X ~ Bin(4, 0.32).

Thus, P(X = 1) = 4C_1=(0.32)(1-0.68)^{4-1}=4C_1(0.32)(0.68)^3

in triangleABC the side lengths are b=13, ac=21 and bc=x. write a compound inequality the represents the range of possible value
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

8 < x < 34

Step-by-step explanation:

ab = 13, ac = 21, bc = x

The longest side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides.

If 21 is the longest side:

21 < 13 + x

8 < x

If x is the longest side:

x < 13 + 21

x < 34

Therefore, 8 < x < 34.

In the SuperLottery, three balls are drawn (at random) from ten white balls numbered from $1$ to $10$, and one SuperBall is draw
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with the red ball because it is easier. You have 1/10 chances to pick the same number that is drawn randomly. Thus your base probability is .1

Now going to the white balls, you need atleast 2 numbers picked as the numbers drawn. Let's say we pick numbers 1-3. In order to win, the numbers 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 1 and 3, or 1 2 and 3 must be drawn. You can calculate the probability for each of these cases. In the case only 2 are drawn, the probability for each is 0.075. Since there are three cases that this could happen, you multiply this probability by 3, becoming 1/4. However, there is also the chance that you get all three. The probability of this is 3/10*2/9*1/8.

.225 + .1 + 0.008333  = 33.333...% or 1/3

The diagram shows a logo made from three circles
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Use the formula π*(r^2) where r is radius

Area of big circle, all 3=314.1592654 (approximately) and this is =100%

Area of middle circle=153.93804

Area of small circle=78.53981634

Percentage of middle circle with small circle = (153.93804/314.1592654)*100= 48.999999999999 approx= 49%

Percentage of small circle alone = (78.53981634/314.1592654)*100

= 25%

So 51%= big circle alone

And 51%+25%= 76%

100%-76%=24%

point M with coordinates (3,4) is the midpoint of the line AB and A has the point (-1,6). what is the point of B?
irina [24]

Answer:

  B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

  M = (A +B)/2

  2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

  2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B

The batting Wang Xiu Ying uses to fill quilts has a thermal conductivity rate of 0.030.030, point, 03 watts (\text{W})(W)left pa
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

the batting wang xiu ying uses to fill quilts has a thermal conductivity rate of 0.03 watts (W) per meter(m) per degree celsius. what is the batting thermal conductivity when w/cm•c

Given

K = 0.03W/m°C

Required

Convert K to W/cm°C

Since 1m = 100cm,

K = 0.03w/1×100cm°C

K = 3×10^-2w/10² cm°C

K = 3 × 10^-2w/10² cm°C

K = 3w× 10^{-2-2}cm°C

K = 3w×10^-4cm°C

K = 0.0003w/cm°C
