Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.

Given:

2x + 6y = 12

where

x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts

The correct solution to the problem

x = 3 pounds

2x + 6y = 12

2(3) + 6y = 12

6 + 6y = 12

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6

6y = 6

Divide both sides by 6

y = 6/6

= 1

y = 1 pound

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

$\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = $\frac{2}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = $\frac{28}{36}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

$\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11$

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{66-77}{9}$

$-\frac{11}{9}$

$-1.22$

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

The Q30X program and the Intensity program are both effective because the average participant 1-mile run time was reduced for each program, but the Intensity program is the more effective program because it yielded a greater decrease in the average participant 1-mile run time.

Which equation is the inverse of y = 16x2 + 1? y = plus-or-minus StartRoot StartFraction x Over 16 EndFraction minus 1 EndRoot y

kifflom [539]

Answer:

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 16 y^2 +1

Then solve for y

Subtract 1

x-1 = 16 y^2

Divide by 16

(x-1)/16 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y

±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4
