Suppose you have a litter of mice which consists of 8 males and 4 females. If you randomly grab two of them, what is the probabi

lity that they are both male? You may think of this questions as without replacement. Keep your answer in decimal form and round to THREE decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that they are both male is 0.424 (3 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the probability of the first selection being male. This is calculated as number of male mice divided by total number of mice in the litter

Prob (1st male) = 8 ÷ 12 = 0.667

Next is to find the probability of the second selection also being male. Note that the question states that the first mice was selected without replacement. This means the first mouse taken results in a reduction in both the number of male mice and total number of mice in the litter.

Prob (2nd male) = (8 - 1) ÷ (12 - 1) = 7/11 = 0.636

Therefore,

Prob (1st male & 2nd male) = 0.667 × 0.636 = 0.424

Your cell phone plan charges a base charge each month plus a charge per daytime minute of usage and December used 510 daytime mi
algol13

Answer:

In February, 423 daytime minutes is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base plan charges be x

And cost per daytime minute be y

In December,

x  + 510y =  92.25------------------(1)

In January,

x + 397y = 77.56---------------------(2)

Subtracting eq(2) from eq(1)

x  + 510y =  92.25

x + 397y = 77.56

-------------------------------

0  + 113y = 14.69

-------------------------------

y = \frac{14.69}{113}

y =  0.13----------------------------------(3)

Substituting (3) in (1)

x  + 510(0.13) =  92.25

x + 66.3 = 92.25

x = 92.25 - 66.3

x = 25.95

So In February

base plan  + (daytime minute)(cost per daytime minute) = 80.9

25.95 + (daytime minute)(0.13) = 80.9

(daytime minute)(0.13) = 80.9 - 25.95

(daytime minute)(0.13) = 54.95

(daytime minute) =\frac{54.95}{0.13}

daytime minutes = 422.69

daytime minute  \approx 423

A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi
Grace [21]
I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

Peter has 96 stamps and Sam has 63. How many stamps should Sam give Peter so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as Sam?
MAXImum [283]
96÷2=48
63-48=15

So Sam should give Peter 15 of his stamps so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as him.
