Heaviest chicken is 6 pounds

The heaviest chicken would actually be 4 pounds. Since the average of both chickens is 4, that means they had to do the weight of the chickens added together than divided by two. The only one that would work is 2. So then you add 2 to that and it would be four.

Eli wants to combine 0.5 gallon of a 10% acid solution with some 35% acid solution to make a 15% acid solution.
klemol [59]
Hey there!

x= # of gallons of the 35% acid solution

Equation- 0.5 gal (0.1) + x gal (0.35) = (0.5 + x)(0.15)
x= .125 gallons

Hope this helps!

k0ka [10]

Answer: b. 0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average time taken to complete an exam, X, follows a normal probability distribution with \mu=60\text{ minutes} and \sigma=30\text{ minutes} .

Then, the  probability that a randomly chosen student will take more than 30 minutes to complete the exam will be :-

P(x>30)=P(z>\dfrac{30-60}{30})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma} ]\\\\=P(z>-1)=P(z-z)=P(Z

 [using z-value table]

Hence, the probability that a randomly chosen student will take more than 30 minutes to complete the exam =  0.8413

What is the probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble from a bag containing 12 yellow marbles, 16 red marble
boyakko [2]

Option B

Probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble is \frac{32}{301}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that a bag containing 12 yellow marbles, 16 red marbles, and 15 green marbles

So total number of marbles = 12 + 16 + 15 = 43

To find: probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble if the first marble is not replaced

<em><u>The probability of an event is given as:</u></em>

probability =\frac{\text { number of favorable outcomes }}{\text { total number of possible outcomes }}$

<em><u>probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble if the first marble is not replaced:</u></em>

First we pick up yellow marble.

Number of favorable outcomes = 12 yellow marbles

Total number of possible outcomes = 43 marbles

\text{ probability} = \frac{12}{43}

Now we have to pick red marble

But first marble is not replaced

So we have 43 - 1 = 42 number of possible outcomes

Favorable outcomes = 16 red marbles

\text{ probability} = \frac{16}{42}

So probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble is:

\text[ probability } = \frac{12}{43} \times \frac{16}{42} = \frac{32}{301}

Thus probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble is \frac{32}{301}
