4 days.
If it takes 6 days for 8 people to pick apples then it must take 48 days for 1 person to do it because 6•8=48.
So then it must take 12 people
48/12 days which is 4 to pick apples from trees.

liraira [26]

Answer:

No she doesn't have enough paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the area of both walls then subtract both areas by 250. It would give you a negative number, meaning there is not enough paint.

A supermarket has two customers waiting to pay for their purchases at counter I and one customer waiting to pay at counter II. L
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

b. 0.864

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variables.

Y1 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 1''

Y2 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 2''

If X is a binomial random variable, the probability function for X is :

P(X=x)=(nCx)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assume the value x

nCx is the combinatorial number define as :

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

n is the number of independent Bernoulli experiments taking place

And p is the success probability.

In counter I :

Y1 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y1 ~ Bi(2,0.2)

P(Y1=y1)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2}

And P( Y1 = y1 ) = 0 with y1 ∉ {0,1,2}

In counter II :

Y2 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y2 ~ Bi (1,0.3)

P(Y2=y2)=(1Cy2)(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

With y2 ∈ {0,1}

And P( Y2 = y2 ) = 0 with y2 ∉ {0,1}

(1Cy2) with y2 = 0 and y2 = 1 is equal to 1 so the probability function for Y2 is :

P(Y2=y2)=(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

Y1 and Y2 are independent so the joint probability distribution is the product of the Y1 probability function and the Y2 probability function.

P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=P(Y1=y1).P(Y2=y2)

P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2} and y2 ∈ {0,1}

P( Y1 = y1 , Y2 = y2) = 0 when y1 ∉ {0,1,2} or y2 ∉ {0,1}

b. Not more than one of three customers will spend more than $50 can mathematically be expressed as :

Y1 + Y2 \leq 1

Y1 + Y2\leq 1 when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 0 , when Y1 = 1 and Y2 = 0 and finally when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 1

To calculate P(Y1+Y2\leq 1) we must sume all the probabilities that satisfy the equation :

P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=P(Y1=0,Y2=0)+P(Y1=1,Y2=0)+P(Y1=0,Y2=1)

P(Y1=0,Y2=0)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=(0.8)^{2}(0.7)=0.448

P(Y1=1,Y2=0)=(2C1)(0.2)^{1}(0.8)^{2-1}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=2(0.2)(0.8)(0.7)=0.224

P(Y1=0,Y2=1)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{1}(0.7)^{1-1}=(0.8)^{2}(0.3)=0.192

P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.448+0.224+0.192=0.864\\P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.864

A farmer uses 1/3 of his land to plant cassava, 2/5 of the remaining and to plant maize and the rest vegetables.if vegetables co
abruzzese [7]
Cassava = 1/3 of his land

Remaining after planting Cassava = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of his land

Maize = 2/5 x 2/3 = 4/15 of his land

Vegetables = 2/3 - 4/15 = 2/5 of his land



If vegetables = 10 acres

2/5 of his land = 10 acres

1/5 of his land = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 acres

5/5 of his land = 5 x 5 = 25 acres

Answer: Total area 25 acres.

In a science-fiction story, a spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute than it traveled during the minute before. If the shi
JulijaS [17]

The expression is:

speed(minutes)=3\frac{km}{h} ^{minutes} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{4} =14348907\frac{km}{g}

Why?

From the statement we know that the spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute that it traveled during the minute before, it can be expressed using an exponential function, its base will be the starting speed (during the first minute).

The expression will be:

speed(minutes)=(3^{minutes})\frac{km}{h} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{h}=14348907\frac{km}{h}

Have a nice day!
