Answer:
a) 0.88
b) 0.35
c) 0.0144
d) 0.2084
e) 0.7916
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The probability of a peanut being brown is 12/100 = 0.12. Hence the probability of it not being brown is 1-0.12 = 0.88
b) 12% of peanuts are brown, 23% are blue. So 35% are either blue or brown. The probability of a peanut being blue or brown is, therefore 35/100 = 0.35.
c) 12% of peanuts are red, so the probability of a peanut being red is 12/100 = 0.12. In order to calculate the probability of 2 peanuts being both red, we can assume that the proportion doesnt change dramatically after removing one peanut (because the number of peanuts is absurdly high. We can assume that we are replenishing the peanuts). To calculate the probability of 2 peanuts being both red, we need to power 0.12 by 2, hence the probability is 0.12² = 0.0144.
d) Again, we will assume that the probability doesnt change, because we replenish. The probability of a peanut being blue is 0.23. The probability of it not being blue is 0.77, so the probability of 6 peanuts not being blue is obtained from powering 0.77 by 6, hence it is 0.77⁶ = 0.2084
e) The event 'at least one peanut is blue' is te complementary event of 'none peanuts are blue', so the probability of this event is 1- 0.2084 = 0.7916
(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.
Answer: D. 41 cm
There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,
a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2
a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1
a^2=2b+1
So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.
b = (a^2 - 1)/2
a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5
a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13
a=7, b=24, c=25
a=9, b=40, c=41
a=11, b=60, c=61
a=13, b=84, c=85
It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.
Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:
√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41
If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.
Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.
This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%
Answer:
The equation for the total number of strings ordered is
X+Y=80
The equation based on the price of each type of string and the total value of the order is
4.50 x +1.50 y = 225

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant increase every hour indicates a linear correlation, which can be represented by an arithmetic sequence.
The nth term formula is a formula for any specific term you wish to find.
The formula is:
a = starting value of the sequence
d = the common difference (i.e. the difference between any two consecutive terms of the sequence)
n = the value corresponding to the position of the desired term in the sequence (i.e. 1 is the first term, 2 is the second, etc.)
Un = the actual vaue of the the term
In this case:
a = 40
d = 10
And so, the nth term formula is:
