According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are re

Answer:

a) 0.88

b) 0.35

c) 0.0144

d) 0.2084

e) 0.7916

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability of a peanut being brown is 12/100 = 0.12. Hence the probability of it not being brown is 1-0.12 = 0.88

b) 12% of peanuts are brown, 23% are blue. So 35% are either blue or brown. The probability of a peanut being blue or brown is, therefore 35/100 = 0.35.

c) 12% of peanuts are red, so the probability of a peanut being red is 12/100 = 0.12. In order to calculate the probability of 2 peanuts being both red, we can assume that the proportion doesnt change dramatically after removing one peanut (because the number of peanuts is absurdly high. We can assume that we are replenishing the peanuts). To calculate the probability of 2 peanuts being both red, we need to power 0.12 by 2, hence the probability is 0.12² = 0.0144.

d) Again, we will assume that the probability doesnt change, because we replenish. The probability of a peanut being blue is 0.23. The probability of it not being blue is 0.77, so the probability of 6 peanuts not being blue is obtained from powering 0.77 by 6, hence it is 0.77⁶ = 0.2084

e) The event 'at least one peanut is blue' is te complementary event of 'none peanuts are blue', so the probability of this event is 1- 0.2084 = 0.7916

If point C is inside AvB, then __+m CvB= m AvB
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the "Angle Addition Postulate" in order to solve this exercise.

You have this larger angle:

 \angle AVB

According to the "Angle Addition Postulate", if the point "C"  is in the interior of \angle AVB, then the measure of this angle can be obtained by adding the angle \angle AVC and the angle \angle CVB.

You can observe in the figure that:

 m\angle AVC=39\°\\\\\mangle CVB=23\°

Then you get that:

m\angle AVC+m\angle CVB=m\angle AVB\\\\39\°+23\°=62\°

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
bazaltina [42]
First, we define variables:
 x: small hat
 y: medium hat
 z: large hat
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y + z = 47
 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302
 -3x + y = 0
 We can write the system in matrix form as:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]
 b = [47;  302;  0]
 x = [x;  y ;  z]
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 6
 y = 18
 z = 23
 Answer:
 
the coach did purchase 23 large hats

Dan is watching The Birds in his backyard. Of the birds he watches, 9. Of them,or 45%, are sparrows. How many birds are in his b
ra1l [238]

If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.

Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.

This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%

Given the median 24 and trapezoid MNOP what is the value of x
masha68 [24]
1. Given the bases a and b of a trapezoid, the length of the median m can be found by the formula m= \frac{a+b}{2}

2. MP and NO are the bases so applying the above formula: 

24= \frac{(x+8)+(5x+4)}{2}

48= 6x+12

6x=36

x=6

Check the picture for the proof of the theorem m=(a+b)/2
