Well you didn't post the expressions but let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because <span>each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100

Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is X+X-50+X-100=3X-150

Given: △ABC, m∠A=120°, AB=AC=1<br> Find: The radius of circumscribed circle
Citrus2011 [14]

In Δ ABC, ∠A=120°, AB=AC=1

To draw a circumscribed circle Draw perpendicular bisectors of any of two sides.The point where these bisectors meet is the center of the circle.Mark the center as O.

Then join OA, OB, and OC.

Taking any one OA,OB and OC as radius draw the circumcircle.

Now, from O Draw OM⊥AB and ON⊥AC.

As chord AB and AC are equal,So OM and ON will also be equal.

The reason being that equal chords are equidistant from the center.

AM=MB=1/2 and AN=NC=1/2  [ perpendicular from the center to the chord bisects the chord.]

In Δ OMA and ΔONA

OM=ON [proved above]

OA is common.

MA=NA=1/2  [proved above]

ΔOMA≅ ONA [SSS]

∴ ∠OAN =∠OAM=60° [ CPCT]

In Δ OAN

\cos60=\frac {AN}{OA}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{OA}

OA=1

∴ OA=OB=OC=1, which is the radius of given Circumscribed circle.

a graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5 ml with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder displacing the level to 47
mixas84 [53]
Because you went from 41.5 to 47.6 when the granite was placed in the graduated cylinder, using displacement:

47.6 - 41.5 = 6.1

I don't know about the cubic centimeters part, I don't know for sure if mL and cubic cm are the same, sorry. :(

Suppose the sample size for this study was n=2 instead of n=70. What would be the shape of the distribution of sample means
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer :

The shape of the distribution of the sample usually contains the given two points :

1. The sampling distribution is skewed for small sample sizes. Also, the distribution will be non-normal if the sample size is small

2. The shape of the sampling distribution gets more and more normal-like (bell shaped) as the sample size  increases

For sample size, n = 2

The sampling distribution will be skewed for this sample size

For sample size, n = 70

The shape of the sampling distribution for sample size of 70 will be more normal as compared to that of sample size of 2

1/4 of the roses are red, 1/3 of the remainder are yellow and the rest are pink. There are 24 more pink roses than red roses. Ho
Alika [10]
<h3>There are 96 roses altogether</h3>

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

Let "x" be the number of roses

From given,

<em><u>1/4 of the roses are red</u></em>

Red\ roses = \frac{1}{4} \times x\\\\Red\ roses = \frac{x}{4}

<em><u>1/3 of the remainder are yellow</u></em>

Remaining = x - \frac{x}{4}\\\\Remaining = \frac{3x}{4}

Therefore,

Yellow\ roses = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3x}{4}\\\\Yellow\ roses = \frac{x}{4}

<em><u>Rest are pink</u></em>

Remaining = \frac{3x}{4} - \frac{x}{4}\\\\Remaining = \frac{2x}{4}\\\\Remaining = \frac{x}{2}

Therefore,

Pink\ Roses = \frac{x}{2}

There are 24 more pink roses than red roses

Therefore,

Number of pink roses = 24 + red roses

\frac{x}{2} = 24 + \frac{x}{4}\\\\\frac{x}{2} -  \frac{x}{4} = 24\\\\\frac{x}{4} = 24\\\\x = 24 \times 4\\\\x = 96

Thus there are 96 roses altogether

According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&amp;M’s, 12% of peanut M&amp;M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are re
Ipatiy [6.2K]

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
