A rectangular bird feeder costs $18.00. A cylindrical bird feeder costs $24.00. The expected cost to keep the rectangular bird f

eeder filled is $3.00 per week. The expected cost the keep the cylindrical bird feeder filled is $2.00 per week. The equation below models the break-even point.
18 + 3x = 24 + 2x

Answer:

(x) represents number of weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the birds feed is given for x weeks.

Then (cost of bird feeder + cost of bird feeder to be filled ) are same in each case, either bird feeder is cylindrical or rectangular.

So (cost of rectangular bird feeder + bird feed for x weeks)

= cost of cylindrical bird feeder + bird feed for x weeks)

Equation will be

18 + 3x = 24 + 2x

Therefore,(x) represents number of weeks.

X represents the number of weeks, so $3 per week and $2 per week. Hope this helps!

Calculate 12 x 15 by changing the numbers into friendlier numbers as we saw in the videos. Show how you work it out – write out
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The product 12 × 15 in friendlier numbers is (10 + 2) × (10 + 5) = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter given are;

To 12 × 15 by changing the numbers into friendlier numbers

The product in 12 × 15 written with friendlier numbers (or in a simplified format can be given as follows;

12 × 15 = (10 + 2) × (10 + 5)

Which gives;

(10 + 2) × (10 + 5) = 10² + 10 × 5 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 5

From which we have;

10² + 10 × 5 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 5 = 100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 180

Therefore;

12 × 15 = 180.

The 30 members of a choir are trying to raise at least $1,500 to cover travel costs to a singing camp. They already have $600. W
ryzh [129]
The choir members need $1500, but they have $600.  Therefore, they need $1500-$600=$900 more.

Call a the average amount raised by a member.  We see that 30a >= $900.  Dividing by 30, we find that a >= $30, so the average member must raise at least $30.

Jeanne wants to start collecting coins and orders a coin collection starter kit. The kit comes with three coins chosen at random
lesya692 [45]
Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event given that another event has occurred. If the event of interest is A and the event B is known or assumed to have occurred, "the conditional probability of A given B", or "the probability of A under the condition B", is usually written as P(A|B), or sometimes P_B(A).

The conditional probability of event A happening, given that event B has happened, written as P(A|B) is given by
P(A|B)= \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

In the question, we were told that there are three randomly selected coins which can be a nickel, a dime or a quarter.

The probability of selecting one coin is \frac{1}{3}

Part A:
To find <span>the probability that all three coins are quarters if the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter, let the event that all three coins are quarters be A and the event that the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter be B.

P(A) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter AND the third envelope contains a quarter.

Thus P(A)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}

</span><span>P(B) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter

</span><span>Thus P(B)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}

Therefore, P(A|B)=\left( \frac{ \frac{1}{27} }{ \frac{1}{9} } \right)= \frac{1}{3}


Part B:
</span>To find the probability that all three coins are different if the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime<span>, let the event that all three coins are different be C and the event that the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime be D.
</span><span>
P(C)= \frac{3}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{27} = \frac{2}{9}

</span><span>P(D)= \frac{1}{3}</span><span>

Therefore, P(C|D)=\left( \frac{ \frac{2}{9} }{ \frac{1}{3} } \right)= \frac{2}{3}</span>

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}
