there are 100 cm in a meter so the fraction would be 8/100 or simplified 2/25

The "meter" is a larger unit than the "centimeter." Every time you need to convert a larger metric unit to a smaller one, you must multiply to find a greater value.

An animal shelter is feeding 24 dogs. Each dog is fed 8 ounces of dog food twice a day. How many pounds of dog food does the she

Brut [27]

there are 24 dogs, each one gets 8oz of dog food twice a day, so for 1 day only that'd be 16 oz, for 7 days for 1 dog only that'd be 16+16+16+16+16+16+16 oz or 112oz, just for 1 dog alone for 7 days(week).

now, there are 24 dogs, each one gets 112oz every week, 24 * 112 ounces.

Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die. The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended. What is the proba

hram777 [196]

Answer: $0.5714\frac{1}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die.

The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended.

Since Bill starts the game he can win by throwing even number or lose by throwing odd number

P(win) = 0.5, otherwise, the die will go to George. For Bill to win, both George and Ross should throw an odd number so that Bill again gets the chance with game non ending.

Thus we have Prob of Bill winning =P of Bill winning in I throw +P of Bill winning in his II chance of throw +....infinitely

To get back the dice once he loses probability

= p both throws odd = $0.5(0.5) = 0.25$

Thus Prob for Bill winning

= $0.5+0.25(0.5)^2+0.25(0.5)^3(0.25)+...$

This is an infinite geometric series with I term 0.5 and common ratio 0.125<1

Sum = $\frac{a}{1-r} =\frac{0.5}{1-0.125} =0.5714$

A population consists of the following five values: 1, 3, 4, 4, and 6. List all samples of size 2 from left to right without rep

aniked [119]

Answer:

The sample of sizes 2 and their mean are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population consist of 5 values, S = {1, 3, 4, 4, 6}.

The number of samples of size 2 (without replacement) that can be formed from these 5 values is:

${5\choose 2}=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} =10$

Th formula to compute the mean is:

$\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum x_{i}$

List the 10 samples and their mean as follows:

<u>Sample</u> <u>Mean</u>

(1, 3) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[1+3]=\frac{4}{2}=2.0$

(1, 4) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[1+4]=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

(1, 6) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[1+6]=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

(3, 4) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[3+4]=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

(3, 6) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[3+6]=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

(4, 4) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[4+4]=\frac{8}{2}=4.0$

(4, 6) $\bar x=\frac{1}{2}[4+6]=\frac{10}{2}=5.0$

A pitcher of water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit is placed into a 70 degree room. One hour later, the temperature has risen to 45 deg

solong [7]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the initial temperature and the temperature after an hour is an increase of 5 degrees. Since we need to calculate the time it would take for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees we need to find the difference in degrees from the current temperature to 60 degrees.

60 - 45 = 15 degrees

Since 1 hour equals an increase of 5 degrees we need to divide 15 by 5 to calculate how many hours before the temperature increases to 60 degrees

15 / 5 = 3 hours
