<span>With the bag having 4/5 lb currently in it, this can be translated to 16/20 lb. Maria wants to scoop out sand until the bag has 1/2 lb, which is 10/20 lb. The scoop that Maria uses is 1/20 lb, so using the equation of 16-10 = 6, Maria can get 6 scoops of sand before the bag contains 1/2 lb.</span>

Determine whether each of these sets is finite, countably infinite, or uncountable. For those that are countably in- finite, exh
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a) the negative integers set A is countably infinite.

   one-to-one correspondence with the set of positive integers:

   f: Z+ → A, f(n) = -n

b) the even integers set A is countably infinite.

   one-to-one correspondence with the set of positive integers:

   f: Z+ → A, f(n) = 2n

c) the integers less than 100 set A is countably infinite.

   one-to-one correspondence with the set of positive integers:

   f: Z+ → A, f(n) = 100 - n

d) the real numbers between 0 and 12 set A is uncountable.

e) the positive integers less than 1,000,000,000 set A is finite.

f) the integers that are multiples of 7 set A is countably infinite.

   one-to-one correspondence with the set of positive integers:

   f: Z+ → A, f(n) = 7n

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is finite when its elements can be listed and this list has an end.  

A set is countably infinite when you can exhibit a one-to-one correspondence between the set of positive integers and that set.

A set is uncountable when it is not finite or countably infinite.

A rabbit started at point 0 and made 3 jumps: a jump of 4 units, then a jump of 2 units, and then a jump of 1 unit. We do not kn
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

<u>The rabbit could be at eight different numbers of the number line:</u>

<u>-7, - 5, - 3, - 1, 1, 3, 5, and 7.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simulate each of the jumps of the rabbit in all the possible directions, as follows:

Option 1: - 4 - 2 - 1 = -7

Option 2: - 4 - 2 + 1 = -5

Option 3: - 4 + 2 - 1 = - 3

Option 4: - 4 + 2 + 1 = - 1

Option 5:  4 - 2 - 1 = 1

Option 6: 4 - 2 + 1 = 3

Option 7: 4 + 2 - 1 = 5

Option 8: 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal. During one
Triss [41]

Answer:

0.82 = 82% probability that at least one party will not order drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

For each party, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will order drinks with their meal, or they will not. The probability of a party ordering drinks with their meal is independent of other parties. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal.

This means that p = 0.75

During one hour, Ryan served 6 parties. Assuming that each party is equally likely to order drinks, what is the probability that at least one party will not order drinks?

6 parties, so n = 6.

Either all parties will order drinks, or at least one will not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 6) + P(X < 6) = 1

We want P(X < 6). So

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.75)^{6}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.18

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.18 = 0.82

0.82 = 82% probability that at least one party will not order drinks
