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.

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

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm
saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation ae^{ct}=d. We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}

e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

We know that \text{ln}(e)=1, so we will get:

ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

Therefore, our solution would be t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}.

A cylindrical roller 2.5 m in length, 1.5 m in radius when rolled on a road was found to cover the area of 16500 m2 . How many r
eduard

Answer:

701 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length= 2.5 m

            Radius= 1.5 m

            Area covered by roller= 16500 m²

Now, finding the Lateral surface area of cylinder to know area covered by roller in one revolution of cylindrical roller.

Remember; Lateral surface area of an object is the measurement of the area of all sides excluding area of base and its top.

Formula; Lateral surface area of cylinder= 2\pi rh

Considering, π= 3.14

⇒ lateral surface area of cylinder= 2\times 3.14\times 1.5\times 2.5

⇒ lateral surface area of cylinder= 23.55 \ m^{2}

∴ Area covered by cylindrical roller in one revolution is 23.55 m²

Next finding total number of revolution to cover 16500 m² area.

Total number of revolution= \frac{16500}{23.55} = 700.6369 \approx 701

Hence, Cyindrical roller make 701 revolution to cover 16500 m² area.

Chris wonders whether the planes that fly over his house follow any sort of pattern. For two months, he
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the relative frequency below:

For NORTH - SOUTH:

Monday - Thursday = 115 ; has a relative frequency of 75.16%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

75.16% of row total = 115

0.7516× row total = 115

Row total = 115 / 0.7516 = 153.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

153 - 115 = 38

FOR EAST - WEST:

Monday - Thursday = 21 ; has a relative frequency of 25.30%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

25.30% of row total = 21

0. 253 × row total = 21

Row total = 21 / 0.253 = 83.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

83 - 21 = 62

x = (38 / 100) × 100%

x = 0.38 × 100%

x = 38.00 %

Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage ea
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.
