Answer:  The required ratio in simplest form is 7 : 5 : 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice orange juice and cranberry juice. \frac{1}{4} of the drink is apple juice and \frac{2}{5} is orange juice.

We are to find  the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.

Let x, y and z be the fractions of the cranberry juice, apple juice and orange juice in the fruit punch drink.

Then, according to the given information, we have

y=\dfrac{1}{4},~~z=\dfrac{2}{5}.

Now,

x+y+z=1\\\\\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{2}{5}=1\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1-\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20-5-8}{20}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{7}{20}.

Therefore, the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice is given by

x:y:z\\\\\\=\dfrac{7}{20}:\dfrac{1}{4}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{7}{20}:\dfrac{5}{20}:\dfrac{8}{20}\\\\=7:5:8.

Thus, the required ratio in simplest form is 7 : 5 : 8.

Archie can walk 1 mile in 1/3 hour. How far can walk in 3 hours explain how you found the answer​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he can walk one mile in 1/3 of an hour. We can divide 3 by 1/3.

3/(1/3) When dividing by a fraction, we multiply its reciprocal instead.

3*3=9. This means that he can walk 9 miles in 3 hours.

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 50 – x2 = 0? x = ±2 x = ±6 x = ±5 no real solution btw i just clicked the las
bagirrra123 [75]
50-x^2=0
Move the x^2 to the other side
x^2=50
Now take the square root of both sides
x=+_(50)^1/2 (^1/2 means square root)(+_ is plus or minus. Sorry XD)
Now simplify the square root
X=+_5(2)^1/2
Voila. The answer is C

A supermarket has two customers waiting to pay for their purchases at counter I and one customer waiting to pay at counter II. L
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

b. 0.864

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variables.

Y1 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 1''

Y2 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 2''

If X is a binomial random variable, the probability function for X is :

P(X=x)=(nCx)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assume the value x

nCx is the combinatorial number define as :

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

n is the number of independent Bernoulli experiments taking place

And p is the success probability.

In counter I :

Y1 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y1 ~ Bi(2,0.2)

P(Y1=y1)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2}

And P( Y1 = y1 ) = 0 with y1 ∉ {0,1,2}

In counter II :

Y2 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y2 ~ Bi (1,0.3)

P(Y2=y2)=(1Cy2)(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

With y2 ∈ {0,1}

And P( Y2 = y2 ) = 0 with y2 ∉ {0,1}

(1Cy2) with y2 = 0 and y2 = 1 is equal to 1 so the probability function for Y2 is :

P(Y2=y2)=(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

Y1 and Y2 are independent so the joint probability distribution is the product of the Y1 probability function and the Y2 probability function.

P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=P(Y1=y1).P(Y2=y2)

P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2} and y2 ∈ {0,1}

P( Y1 = y1 , Y2 = y2) = 0 when y1 ∉ {0,1,2} or y2 ∉ {0,1}

b. Not more than one of three customers will spend more than $50 can mathematically be expressed as :

Y1 + Y2 \leq 1

Y1 + Y2\leq 1 when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 0 , when Y1 = 1 and Y2 = 0 and finally when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 1

To calculate P(Y1+Y2\leq 1) we must sume all the probabilities that satisfy the equation :

P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=P(Y1=0,Y2=0)+P(Y1=1,Y2=0)+P(Y1=0,Y2=1)

P(Y1=0,Y2=0)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=(0.8)^{2}(0.7)=0.448

P(Y1=1,Y2=0)=(2C1)(0.2)^{1}(0.8)^{2-1}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=2(0.2)(0.8)(0.7)=0.224

P(Y1=0,Y2=1)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{1}(0.7)^{1-1}=(0.8)^{2}(0.3)=0.192

P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.448+0.224+0.192=0.864\\P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.864

3.30 Survey response rate. Pew Research reported in 2012 that the typical response rate to their surveys is only 9%. If for a pa
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 15000, p = 0.09

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05

What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}

Z = 4.25

Z = 4.25 has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Addie walked 2 1 2 miles in 45 minutes. Suzie covered 2 2 5 miles in 2 3 of an hour. Which girl walked faster? By how much?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Suzie walks faster by 0.27 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Addie walked 2\frac{1}{2} miles in 45 minutes and Suzie covered 2\frac{2}{5} miles in \frac{2}{3} of an hour.

So, Addie walked 2.5 miles in 45 minutes i.e. \frac{45}{60} = 0.75 hours.

Therefore, the walking speed of Addie is \frac{2.5}{0.75} = 3.33 miles per hour.

Again, Suzie covered 2\frac{2}{5} i.e. 2.4 miles in \frac{2}{3} i.e. 0.67 hours.

So, the walking speed of Suzie is \frac{2.4}{0.67} = 3.6 miles per hour.

Hence, Suzie walks faster by (3.6 - 3.33) = 0.27 miles per hour. (Answer)
