Answer:

1575 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 1/10 to decimal to make the math simpler.

1/10 = 0.1

Divide 3.5 by 0.1.

3.5/0.1 = 35

Multiply 35 by 45.

35 × 45 = 1575

The train will travel 1575 feet in 3.5 seconds.

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi

Question:

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi27π27, pi cm^3 3 start superscript, 3, end superscript of melted purple liquid. The radius of the cone is 333 cm. What is the height of the cone?

Answer:

The height of the cone is $9 \ cm$

Explanation:

It is given that the radius of the cone is $3 \ cm$

The volume of the cone is $27\pi$

The height of the cone can be determine using the formula,

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Substituting the values $V=27 \pi$ and $r=3$ , we get,

$27 \pi=\frac{1}{3} \pi(3)^{2} h$

Multiplying both sides by 3, we have,

$81 \pi= 9\pi h$

Dividing both sides by $9 \pi$ , we have,

$9=h$

Thus, the height of the cone is $9 \ cm$

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

455 or 680, depending

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the three choices are different, then there are ...

15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to make the pizza.

___

If two or three of the topping choices can be the same, then there are an additional ...

2(15C2) +15C1 = 2·105 +15 = 225

ways to make the pizza, for a total of ...

455 + 225 = 680

different types of pizza.

There is a factor of 2 attached to the number of choices of 2 toppings, because you can have double anchovies and tomato, or double tomato and anchovies, for example, when your choice of two toppings is anchovies and tomato.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7$

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

$H_1: \mu \neq 7$

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.

You are offered the following gamble based on coin flips. If the first heads occurs on the first flip, you get $2. If the first

Andrews [41]

Answer:

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity

i.e

expected value = $\frac{1}{2}*2 + \frac{1}{4}*4 + \frac{1}{8}*8 + \frac{1}{16}*16 + ... + \to \infty (infinty) \\$

= $1+1+1+1+1 + ... = \infty$

When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.

What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?

These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.

Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.
