there is 0.015 kilos in 15 grams. if each can weighs 0.015 and he gets paid 50p per KG. 0.015 X 66 will get you 1 kilogram! so you have 66 cans to get 1 kg worth of cans.  so there is 15 dollars and each kg is worth 50p- so 66 cans is = 50p

and there is 2 KG per dollar so 15 X 2 is 30! and then 66 X 30 is 1980!

66 for each KG and 30 represents how many 50p's are needed for 1 dollar!

so that is 1980 cans to get 15 dollars!

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)                                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28

99% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

Putting the values, we get:

0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)

The​ 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is​ (0.185,0.375)

An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers t
gregori [183]

Answer:

probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will use Binomial  probability distribution because:

  • In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
  • The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.

A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an  repeated multiple or n times.

Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.

The formula is:

b(x; n, P) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

b = binomial probability  also represented as P(X=x)

x =no of successes

P = probability of a success on a single trial

n = no of trials

C_{n,x} is calculated as:

C_{n,x} = n! / x!(n – x)!

        = 10!  / 10!(10-10)!

        = 1

According to given question:

probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.

number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10

To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire

X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them

So putting these into the formula:

P(X=x) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

           = C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

           =  1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰

           = 1 * 0.0282 * 1

  P(X=x)        = 0.0282

Mr. Smith had 33 dozen cans. He sold 340 of them at 15$ each. He sold the remaining cans at a discount of 20% each. How much mon
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Mr. Smith collects $5748 from selling the can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given total number of cans = 33\times12=396

Selling price of one can = $15.

\therefore \textrm{Selling price of 340 cans} = \textrm {selling price of one can} \times \textrm {number of cans}=15\times340=\$5100

Now remaining number of cans = total number of cans - sold number of cans =396-340=54

For remaining number of cans he gives a discount of 20% each,

∴ Selling price of one can = 15-\frac{15\times20}{100}=15-3=12

∴ Selling price of 54 cans = \textrm{selling price of one can} \times \textrm{number of cans}=12\times54=\$648

So total money he earns =  \$5100+\$648= \$5748.

Thus Mr. Smith earns $5748 by selling the cans.

Which expressions are equivalent to 4^{-2} \cdot 7^{-2}4 −2 ⋅7 −2 4, start superscript, minus, 2, end superscript, dot, 7, start
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 4^{-2}•7^{-2}. The following expression are equivalent to given expression on simplification.

Generally from indices, a^-b = 1/a^b. Applying this to the given expression we have:

4^{-2}•7^{-2} = 1/4^2 • 1/7^2

= 1/(4×4) • 1/(7×7)

= 1/16 • 1/49

= 1/(16×49)

= 1/784

One of the sides of a parallelogram is 4.2 cm and the altitude to that side is 3.6 cm. Find the perimeter of the parallelogram i
dexar [7]

Area of parallelogram = base * height
base 1 = 4.2 cm
height 1 = 3.6 cm
∴ Area = 4.2 * 3.6 = 15.12

let the other base 2 = x
∴ the altitude of this base = height 2 = 2.4
∴Area = 2.4 x = 15.12
Solve for x
                 ∴ x = 6.3 cm

∴ The perimeter of parallelogram = 2( base 1 + base 2)
                                                      = 2 ( 4.2 + 6.3 ) = 21 cm
