Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder. In the original game of Clue, the guilty perso

n can be chosen from 6 people, and there are 6 different possible weapons and 9 possible rooms. At one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 3 people, 3 weapons, and 6 rooms. What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess being correct

Answer:

the probability is 0.1143

Step-by-step explanation:

here are the details from the question you asked

number of people = 6

nuber of weapons = 6

number of rooms = 9

after narrowing it down to

3 people,3 weapons, and 6 rooms

= ⁶C₃ * ⁶C₃ *⁹C₆ / ²¹C₁₂

= 20 * 20 * 84 / 293930

= 33600/293930

= 0.1143

<u>The probability of making a random guess of the person who is guilty, weapon and location from this choices that have been narrowed down and the guess being correct is 0.1143</u>

A stone is dropped into a barrel of water and sinks to the bottom. The ball is completely covered by water. By how much does the

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Answer: 5/12 or approx. 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will displace as much water as its volume.

Meaning, the volume of the ball and the volume of the increase in water in the barrel will be equal.

Volume of a sphere:

$V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

The radius is half the diameter. The diameter of the sphere is 10, thus:

$r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5$

5^3 = 5*5*5 = 25*5 = 125

$V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 5^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 125$

The volume of a cylinder, which will be the shape of the increase in water, is the following:

$V_c=\pi r^2 h$

We know the radius r, as we know the diameter.

$r=d/2=40/2=20$

$V_c=\pi r^2 h=\pi h * 20^2 = \pi h * 400$

We are looking for the height of the cylinder, h, as that will be the height of the water rise.

Since we know these 2 volumes are the same, we'll set them equal to each other and solve the equation:

$V_s = V_c$

$\frac{4}{3} * 125 * \pi = 400 * h * \pi$

We can get rid of pi by dividing both sides by pi:

$\frac{4}{3} * 125 = 400 * h$

And now divide both sides by 400:

$\frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400}= h$

Just reversing it and putting h to the left:

$h = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400} = \frac{4 * 125}{3 * 400}$

I see that I can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

$h =\frac{125}{3 * 100}= \frac{125}{300}$

I'll now divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25 to simplify the expression:

$h=\frac{125}{300} =\frac{125 / 25}{300 / 25} = \frac{5}{12}$

Answer: The water rises by 5/12 (five twelfths).

If I want an approximate decimal answer, I can simply run this expression in a calculator:

$\frac{5}{12}$ ≈ $0.416666667$ ≈ $0.42$

Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".

kakasveta [241]

The function is written as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To find the maximum value, differentiate the equation in terms of x, then equate it to zero. The solution is as follows.

The formula for differentiation would be:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Thus,
f(x) = log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

<em>The maximum value of the function is 0.2553.</em>

Ephemeral services corporation (esco) knows that nine other companies besides esco are bidding for a $900,000 government contrac

EastWind [94]

Answer:

c. $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the expected net profit of Ephemeral services corporation

Since we are been told that 9 other companies besides esco are as well bidding for the $900,000 government contract, it means we have to find the expected net profit by dividing 1 by 9×$900,000 .Thus ESCO can only expect to cover its sunk cost.

Hence ,

E(X) = (1/9) × $900,000

E(X)=0.111111111×$900,000

E(X)= $100,000

Therefore the expected net profit would be $100,000

A cosmetics company that makes small cylindrical bars of soap wraps the bars in plastic prior to shipping. Find the surface area

Lelu [443]

We would have two circles of 5cm diameter each, and a rectangle of the length pi*diameter and 2cm, so lets add them:
total = 2circles + rectangle
total = 2(2*pi*(5/2)^2) + pi*diameter*heigth
= 4*pi*(2.5)^2 + pi*5*2
= 109.9
that is the surface area of a bar soap 109.9 cm^2

Consider the function represented by the equation y-6x-9=0. Which answer shows the equation written in function notation with x

spin [16.1K]

we have

$y-6x-9=0$

Step $1$

<u>Clear the variable y</u>

$y-6x-9=0$

Adds $(6x+9)$ both sides

$y-6x-9+(6x+9)=0+(6x+9)$

$y=(6x+9)$

Step $2$

<u>Convert in function notation</u>

Let

$f(x)=y$

$f(x)=(6x+9)$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$f(x)=(6x+9)$
