M&M plain candies come in various colors. According to the M&M/Mars Department of Consumer Affairs, the distribution of

colors for plain M&M candies is as follows.
Color Purple Yellow Red Orange Green Blue Brown
Percentage 21% 18% 18% 8% 8% 6% 21%
Suppose you have a large bag of plain M&M candies and you choose one candy at random.
(a) Find P(green candy or blue candy).

Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why?
Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible.
No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible.
Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible.
No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible.


(b) Find P(yellow candy or red candy).

Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why?
Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible.
Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible.
No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible.
No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible.


(c) Find P(not purple candy).

Since the Σ( of all colors )= 100%,  OR 1, then:

a) P(GREEN ∪ BLUEU) = P(G) + P(BL) = 8%+6% = 14% or 0.14

Since we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then tey are mutually exclusive: No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

b) P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R) = 18%+18% = 36% or 0.36
SAME ANSWER AS BEFORE: mutually exclusive

c) P(NOT PURPLE), Let's calculate 1st, the probability of having a PURPLE:
P(PURPLE) = 21% or 0.21
And the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1-0.21 = 0.79

In ΔGHI, the measure of ∠I=90°, IG = 6.8 feet, and HI = 2.6 feet. Find the measure of ∠G to the nearest degree.
Luda [366]

Answer:

\angle G=20.8\approx 21^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In ΔGHI, \angle I=90°, IG = 6.8 feet, and HI = 2.6 feet

To find: \angle G

Solution:

Trigonometry defines relationship between the sides and angles of the triangle.

For any angle \theta,

tan\theta = side opposite to \theta/side adjacent to \theta

In ΔGHI,

tan G=\frac{HI}{GI}

Put HI=2.6  \,\,feet\,,\,GI=6.8\,\,feet

So,

tan G=\frac{2.6}{6.8}=0.38

Therefore, \angle G=20.8\approx 21^{\circ}

Given: Circle X with a Radius r and circle Y with radius s Prove: Circle x is similar to circle y
lana [24]

Two figures are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.

This is always the case for circles, because their geometry is fixed, and you can't modify it in anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a circle anymore.

To be more precise, you only need two steps to prove that every two circles are similar:

  1. Translate one of the two circles so that they have the same center
  2. Scale the inner circle (for example) unit it has the same radius of the outer one. You can obviously shrink the outer one as well

Now the two circles have the same center and the same radius, and thus they are the same. We just proved that any two circles can be reduced to be the same circle using only translations and scaling, which generate similar shapes.

Recapping, we have:

  1. Start with circle X and radius r
  2. Translate it so that it has the same center as circle Y. This new circle, say X', is similar to the first one, because you only translated it.
  3. Scale the radius of circle X' until it becomes s. This new circle, say X'', is similar to X' because you only scaled it

So, we passed from X to X' to X'', and they are all similar to each other, and in the end we have X''=Y, which ends the proof.

The heaviest land animal ever recorded (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) was a male African bush elephant. He we
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The largest African elephant weighed 13.5 tons (27,000 pounds) The world record holder weighed this much and stood 13ft/4m tall at the shoulder. There are other species of elephants, namely the Asian and the Indian, but they are much smaller than the African. The African elephant is the king among the giants on land. No other land animal comes close to the size of these creatures. It would take 165 full-grown men to make up the same weight as the world's record African elephant. The noise of an elephant digesting its food (when its tummy's growling) can be heard up to 600ft/183m away. Elephants actually have control over their digestive processes because they are able to stop the sounds of digestion when they sense danger. Here are some other cool elephant factoids:

The demand function for a type of portable radio is given by the model d=85−6x2, where d is measured in dollars and x is measure
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Part A : The required Profit equation : \text{Profit}= 60x-6x^3

Part B : 0.303 million radios the profit became 18 million.

Part C : The graph is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The demand function for a type of portable radio is given by the model d=85-6x^2, where d is measured in dollars and x is measured in millions of units. The production cost is $25.00 per radio.  

Note: Given that profit = revenue - costs

Revenue is demand times number sold.

Costs are productions costs per number sold.

To find :

Part A: Write an equation giving profit as a function of x million radios sold.

Solution : Let x be the number of radios.

Revenue is demand times number sold

\text{Revenue}= x\times (85-6x^2)

\text{Revenue}= 85x-6x^3

Let the cost of x number of radios is 25x.            

Profit = Revenue - Costs

\text{Profit}= 85x-6x^3-25x

P(x)= 60x-6x^3

The required Profit equation : P(x)= 60x-6x^3

 

Part B : The company currently produces 3 million radios and makes a profit of $18,000,000, but would like to scale back production. What lesser number of radios could the company produce to yield the same profit?

Solution :  It is shown graphically which is attached in part c

When we scale back production we get that,

When we sold 0.303 million radios the profit became 18 million.

Part C : Give a graph for the profit and label the parts of the graph.

The graph is attached below which shows the profitable radios points.
