Answer:

6 inches of tape

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount of tape that Marge used, you can take the measure of each piece (\frac{3}{8}) and multiply by the total number of pieces cut (16):

\frac{3}{8}*\frac{16}{1}=\frac{48}{8}=6inches

So, Marge used 6 inches of tape altogether.

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32

Also,

P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4

\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58

E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89

How many pairs of whole numbers have a sum of 110
kap26 [50]

There are different definitions of "whole numbers".

Some define it as an integer (i.e. positive or negative) [some dictionaries]

Some define it as a non-negative integer. [most math definitions]

We will take the math definition, i.e. 0<= whole number < &infin;

To find pairs (i.e. two) whole numbers with a sum of 110, we start with

0+110=110

1+109=110

2+108=110

...

54+56=110

55+55=110

Since the next one, 56+54=110 is the same pair (54,56) as 54+56=110, we stop at 55+55=110  for a total of 56 pairs.

David made a class banner out of a large rectangular piece of paper. He cut a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the banner is equal to the area of the initial rectangle minus the area of the cutout triangle.

The rectangle has a height of 8 inches and width of 14 inches, so its area is:

A = (8 in) (14 in) = 112 in²

The triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 3 inches, so its area is:

A = ½ (8 in) (3 in) = 12 in²

So the area of the banner is 112 in² − 12 in² = 100 in².

Find the quotient. (5x4 – 3x2 4) ÷ (x 1)
Vlada [557]

Keywords:

<em>Divide, polynomial, quotient, divisor, dividend, rest </em>

For this case, we must find the quotient by dividing the polynomial (5x ^ 4-3x ^ 2 + 4)\ by\ (x + 1). We must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the rest, as shown in the attached figure. At the end of the division, to verify we must bear in mind that:

Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder
