A jar contains only​ pennies, nickels,​ dimes, and quarters. There are 21 ​pennies, 26 ​dimes, and 15 quarters. The rest of the

coins are nickels. There are 76 coins in all. How many of the coins are not​ nickels? If n represents the number of nickels in the​ jar, what equation could you use to find​ n?

Answer: The Answer is 62 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 76 coins in the jar in total,All you do is add all of the number of each coin there is except nickels and add it together. Then you take that amount away from the total number of coins to find out how many nickels are inside the jar.

Suppose on a certain planet that a rare substance known as Raritanium can be found in some of the rocks. A raritanium-detector i
Andrews [41]

Answer:

the probability the rock has raritanium is 0.9670

Step-by-step explanation:

These events have been defined as

Z: sample has raritanium

Y: the reading from detector is positive

Z': sample has no raritanium

Y': Reading from detector is negative

P(z) = 0.13

P(y'/z) = 0.02

P(y/z')= 0.005

We need to find p(z/y)

= p(z/y) = p(z ∩ y)/p(y)

= P(z) - p(z∩y)/0.13 = 0.02

Remember the value of p(z) = 0.13

So when we cross multiply we get

0.13 - p(z ∩ y) = 0.02 x 0.13

0.13 - p(z ∩ y) = 0.0026

-p(z ∩ y) = 0.0026 - 0.13

Such that

p(z ∩ y) = 0.1274

P(y/z')= 0.005

P(z∩y') = 0.005

Since p(z) = 0.13

P(z') = 1-0.13

P(y) - p(z∩y)/0.87 = 0.005

We cross multiply

P(y) - 0.1274 = 0.005x0.87

P(y) = 0.1274+0.00435

P(y) = 0.13175

We have 0.1274/0.13175

= 0.9670

So we conclude that probability rock has raritanium is 0.9670

A factory received a shipment of 38 sprockets, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 5 sprockets in the shipment tha
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a) 0.00019923%

b) 47.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the probability of all sockets in the sample being defective, we can do the following:

The first socket will be in a group where 5 of the 38 sockets are defective, so the probability is 5/38

The second socket will be in a group where 4 of the 37 sockets are defective, as the first one picked is already defective, so the probability is 4/37

Expanding this, we have that the probability of having all 5 sockets defective is: (5/38)*(4/37)*(3/36)*(2/35)*(1/34) = 0.0000019923 = 0.00019923%

b) Following the same logic of (a), the first socket have a chance of 33/38 of not being defective, as we will pick it from a group where 33 of the 38 sockets are not defective. The second socket will have a chance of 32/37, and so on.

The probability will be (33/38)*(32/37)*(31/36)*(30/35)*(29/34) = 0.4728 = 47.28%

Frank Fitness found a correlation coefficient of -0.74 between hours of strenuous exercise each week and a standard measure of b
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

b. strong; negative

Step-by-step explanation:

When a correlation has a value greater than 0.74 or lesser than -0.70, it is classified as a strong correlation.

A negative value for a correlation means a negative (downhill) linear correlation.

Therefore, since the correlation coefficient found by Frank Fitness is -0.74, there is a strong and negative relationship between hours of strenuous exercise and body mass.
