Let y represent the original price of potatoes per pound

Since he purchased the potatoes at 40% off the original price, this can represented as y*(1-0.4)

Now the weight of potatoes he purchased is x pounds, the total cost of these potatoes can be represented as x*y*(1-0.4)

The total amount of money he had is $10

The amount of money left over can be represented by the expression =

10 - x*y*(1-0.4)

where "x" is the weight of potatoes in pounds and "y" is the original price per pound of potatoes

Problem 5 (4+4+4=12) We roll two fair 6-sided dice. Each one of the 36 possible outcomes is assumed to be equally likely. 1) Fin

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1

$p(b) = \frac{1}{6}$

2

$p(k) = \frac{1}{3}$

3

$P(a) = \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the doubles are

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

The total outcome of doubles is N = 6

The total outcome of the rolling the two fair 6-sided dice is

n = 36

Generally the probability that doubles (i.e., having an equal number on the two dice) were rolled is mathematically evaluated as

$p(b) = \frac{N}{n}$

$p(b) = \frac{6}{36}$

$p(b) = \frac{1}{6}$

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the outcome whose sum is 4 or less is

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)

Looking at this outcome we see that there are two doubles present

So

The conditional probability that doubles were rolled is mathematically represented as

$p(k) = \frac{2}{6}$

$p(k) = \frac{1}{3}$

Generally when two fair 6-sided dice is rolled the number of outcomes that would land on different numbers is L = 30

And the number of outcomes that at least one die is a 1 is W = 10

So

The conditional probability that at least one die is a 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(a) = \frac{W}{L}$

=> $P(a) = \frac{10}{30}$

=> $P(a) = \frac{1}{3}$

g A sailing ship stopped at several islands, releasing one mating pair of goats onto each one. On the large island, the goats' g

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After <em>t </em>years, the number of goats is given by

$N = N_0e^{bt}$

where $N_0$ is the initial number of goats and <em>b</em> is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

$N_0 = 2$
<em>b</em> = 0.5
<em>N</em> = 1000

$1000 = 2e^{0.5t}$

$e^{0.5t} = 500$

$0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214$

$t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4$

The table represents the equation y = 2 – 4x. A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative

kherson [118]

The missing value for $x=-1$ is $y=6$

Explanation:

It is given that the equation for the table is $y=2-4x$

The table has 2 column with 5 rows.

Thus, we have,

x y

-2 10

-1 ---

0 2

1 -2

2 -6

We need to determine the value of y when $x=-1$

The value of y can be determined by substituting $x=-1$ in the equation $y=2-4x$

Thus, we have,

$y=2-4(-1)$

Multiplying the term within the bracket, we have,

$y=2+4$

Adding the terms, we have,

$y=6$

Thus, the value of y when $x=-1$ is 6.

Hence, the missing value for $x=-1$ is $y=6$

The dot plots below show rainfall totals in the Highlands and Lowlands areas of a certain region.

Andre45 [30]

Options:

A. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are evenly distributed around the center.

B. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

C. The Highlands data points are evenly distributed around the center, while the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

D. The Highlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot, while the Lowlands data points are evenly distributed.

Answer:

B. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the dot plots displaying rainfall totals for highland and lowland areas as shown in the diagram attached below, we can clearly observe that most of the dots on the plot tend to be more concentrated towards the left of the plot, compared to the concentration of dots toward the right of the plot.

Invariably, we can infer that data points for lowlands and Highlands are clustered toward the left of the plot.

Therefore, the statement that is true, comparing the shapes of the dot plot is B. "Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot."
