Answer:

10 quarters = $2.50

10 nickels = $0.50

that leaves $0.20 for other coins (dimes / pennies)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose she has only quarters and nickels and no other coins.  Then if C is the identical number of coins of each type, then 5C + 25C = 320, so 30C = 320 and 3C = 32, but there is no integer solution to this.  So she must have at least one other type of coin.

Assume she has only quarters, nickels, and dimes.  Then if D is the number of dimes, 5C +  25C + 10D = 320, which means 30C + 10D = 320, or 3C + D = 32.  The smallest D can be is 2, leaving 3C = 30 and thus C = 10.  So in this scenario she would have 10 quarters, 10 nickels, and two dimes to make $2.50 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $3.20.

This has to be the highest number, because if she had 11 quarters and 11 nickels, that alone would add up to 11(0.25) + 11(0.05) = $3.30, which would already be too much.

Please help! Tim and Jane both work at a company that sells boxes of breakfast cereal. The boxes of cereal cost £3.00 and the am
patriot [66]

Answer: Jane needs to reduce the price by 20%

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing to note is the original price of the cereal and that is given as £3 for every 160 grams.

The change proposed by Tim is as follows;

Put 25% more cereal in the box (and do not change the price). That means 160 g plus 25%. Mathematically, this can be expressed as;

New weight = 160 + (160 * 25%)

New weight = 160 + (160 * 0.25)

New weight = 160 + 40

New weight = 200

Hence, Tim's idea would result in a cereal box with 200 grams that still cost £3. At this rate, each gram would cost

1 gram = Price / Total grams

1 gram = 3/200

1 gram = 0.015

However, Jane has proposed that the amount of cereal in the box should not be changed, which means the box of cereals should remain 160 grams. The price should be reduced to give the same value as Tim's idea. This means 160 g of cereals should now sell for £0.015 per gram. That would bring the price of 160 g to,

1 gram = 0.015

160 grams = 0.015 * 160

160 grams = 2.4

With Jane's proposal, a 160 g box of cereal should now be sold at £2.4 each. That is a reduction of £0.6

Therefore, the percentage reduction can be calculated as follows;

% decrease = (0.6/3) * 100

% decrease = (1/5) * 100

% decrease = 20

From the results above, Jane should reduce the price (£3 per 160 g) by 20%.

Let X represent the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university. If we know t
Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 4 minutes.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\lambda e^{\lambda x};\ x\geq 0, \lambda >0

The parameter of the exponential distribution is:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{0.25e^{-0.25x}}\, dx

                 =0.25\times \int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{e^{-0.25x}}\, dx\\=0.25\times |\frac{e^{0.25x}}{-0.25}|^{\infty}_{10}\\=(e^{-0.25\times \infty})-(e^{-0.25\times 10})\\=0.0821

Thus, the probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

A whole number from 1 to 15 inclusive is picked at random.
Helen [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>a) 3/7</u>
  • <u>b) 3/5</u>

Explanation:

The figure attached shows the <em>Venn diagram </em>for the given sets.

<em />

<em><u>a) What is the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that it is a factor of 24?</u></em>

<em />

From the whole numbers 1 to 15, the multiples of 3 that are factors of 24 are in the intersection of the two sets: 3, 6, and 12.

There are a total of 7 multiples of 24, from 1 to 15.

Then, there are 3 multiples of 3 out of 7 factors of 24, and the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that is a factor of 24 is:

  • 3/7

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>b) What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that it is a multiple of 3?</u></em>

The factors of 24 that are multiples of 3 are, again, 3, 6, and 12. Thus, 3 numbers.

The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15: 5 numbers.

Then, the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that is a multiple of 3 is:

  • 3/5
