A pair of dice is loaded. The probability that a 4 appears on the first die is 2/7, and the probability that a 3 appears on the

second die is 2/7. Other outcomes for each die appear with probability 1/7. What is the probability of 7 appearing as the sum of the numbers when the two dice are rolled?

Answer:

9/49

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first die, probability of obtaining 4= 2/7

For the second die, the probability of obtaining 3= 2/7

Other outcomes for each die appear with a probability of 1/7

There are six cases of obtaining the sum of the two die as 7.

E1 = 1 and 6

E2 = 2 and 5

E3 = 3 and 4

E4 = 4 and 3

E5 = 5 and 2

E6 = 6 and 1

Pr(E1) = 1/7*1/7

= 1/49

Pr(E2) = 1/7*1/7

= 1/49

Pr(E3) = 1/7*1/7

= 1/49

Pr(E4) = 2/7*2/7

= 4/49

Pr(E5) = 1/7*1/7

= 1/49

Pr(E6)= 1/7*1/7

= 1/49

P(E) = Pr(E1) + Pr(E2) + Pr(E3) + Pr(E4) + Pr(E5) + Pr(E6)

= 1/49 + 1/49 + 1/49 + 4/49 + 1/49 + 1/49

= 9/49

Elliot collects miniature toy cars. He wants to fill 4 display cases.each display case holds 15 cars. He has 28 cars now, and he
baherus [9]

Answer:

Elliot has to wait 11 months before he has enough cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Elliot has 4 display cases with each case being able to hold 15 cars. Thus we know

total # of cars Elliot can place in his display case = 4 * 15 = 60 cars

From this, we can figure out how many more cars Elliot needs by subtracting the amount of cars he already has

# of cars Elliot needs = 60 - 28 = 32 cars

Now to find the number of months Elliot needs, we divide by how many he can buy each month

# of months Elliot needs to save up for = 32 / 3 = 10 2/3

Assuming Elliot does not get his allowance until the end of the month, we will have to round the number of months up to the nearest integer, 11

Amanda is placing an order for running shoes and leather boots for her footwear boutique. She needs a total of 48 pairs of shoes
Basile [38]

Constraint 1:

Let the total number of running shoes be = R

Let the total number of leather boots be = L

As the given number of total shoes are 48,

The equations becomes,

R + L = 48............(1)

Constraint 2:

As running shoes are twice the leather boots, equation becomes,

R = 2L..............(2)

Putting the value of R from equation(2) in equation (1)

2L+ L=48

3L=48

L=16

Now putting the value of L in equation(2)

R= 2L

R = 2*16

R=32

Hence, Amanda needs 16 pairs of leather boots and 32 pairs of running shoes.

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t
Serggg [28]
ANSWER


The correct option is,
k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x = 2
and
x = 7.

This tells us that,

x - 2

and
x - 7

are factors of the quadratic equation.



This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

We were also told that

k


is a non zero constant.



This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.


Our equation now becomes,

k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0


Hence the correct answer is A.

An artist cuts 4 squares with sides of length x ft from the corners of a 12 ft-by-18 ft rectangular piece of sheet metal. She be
ehidna [41]

Answer:

V = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume V of the fountain is equal to:

V = L*W*h

Where L is the lenght of the fountain, W is the width of the fountain and h is the high of the fountain

We already know that h is equal to x. On the other hand, if we cut a square with side of length x, L and W are calculated as:

L = 18 - 2x

W = 12 - 2x

So, replacing L, W and h on the equation of the volume, we get:

V = (18-2x)*(12-2x)*x

Finally, simplifying the function we get:

V = ((18*12)+(18*(-2x))+(-2x*12)+((-2x)*(-2x)))*x

V = (216-36x-24x+4x^2)*x\\V = (216-60x+4x^2)*x\\V = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
