On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have three pieces. How many choices does she have

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]56[/tex] choices

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy does not matter.

To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.

Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is

[tex]_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex], where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.

In this case, [tex]n=8[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex]. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:

[tex]_8C_3=\frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex] (Expand the factorials)

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2*1}[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]5*4*3*2*1[/tex])

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{6}[/tex] (Evaluate denominator)

[tex]=8*7[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]6[/tex])

[tex]=56[/tex]

Therefore, the child has [tex]\bf56[/tex] different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!

For the given piecewise function, evaluate for the specified value of x.

Answers

Answer:

g(-3) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-value -3 lies within the given interval x ≤ -3, and so the correct piecewise function is x + 4, not -4 or -1.  Evaluating x + 4 at x = -3 yields 1.

Thus, g(-3) = 1

The required value of the function g(x) at x = -3 , g(-3) is +1.

Given that,
A function is given with their domain,
g(x) = x + 4 when x≤
g(x) = 4 when -3 < x < 3
g(x) = - 1 when x ≥ 3

What are functions?

Functions are the relationship between sets of values. e g y=f(x), for every value of x there is its exists in a set of y. x is the independent variable while Y is the dependent variable.

Here, Function has been given with their respective limit in which the function is defined,
For the value of g(-3) the value of x = -3 lies in the limit x ≤ -3
So for this limit, we have a function,
g(x) = x + 4
g(-3) = - 3 + 4
g(-3) = +1

The required value of the function g(x) at x = -3 , g(-3) is +1.

Suppose that the functions and g are defined for all real numbers x as follows.
f(x)=x+6
g(x) = 2x + 6
Write the expressions for (f-g)(x) and (fg)(x) and evaluate (f+g)(1).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions are,

f(x) = x + 6

g(x) = 2x + 6

(f - g)(x) = (x + 6) - (2x + 6)

                   = -x

(f . g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

            = (x + 6)(2x + 6)

            = 2x² + 6x + 12x + 36

            = 2x² + 18x + 36

(f + g)(x) = (x + 6) + (2x + 6)

             = 3x + 12

(f + g)(1) = 3(1) + 12

            = 15  

Suppose that the value of a stock varies each day from $12.82 to $28.17 with a uniform distribution.
Find the third quartile; 75% of all days the stock is below what value? (Enter your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:  24.33

======================================================

Explanation:

The range is

range = max - min

range = 28.17 - 12.82

range = 15.35

This is the width of this particular uniform distribution.

Apply 75% to this value

75% of 15.35 = 0.75*15.35 = 11.5125

Then finally, add that to the min

12.82 + 11.5125 = 24.3325 which rounds to 24.33

We can see that 75% of the values are below 24.33 which makes it the 3rd quartile (Q3).

Matt buys a new fish tank. The fish tank is in the shape of a cuboid. The diagram shows water in the tank. 30 cm 30 cm 100 cm Matt knows 1000 cm' = 1 litre 1 gallons = 4.5 litres He can keep 2 small fish in the tank for every 1 gallon of water in the tank. Matt thinks he can keep more than 36 small fish in the tank. Is Matt correct?​

Answers

Answer: Yes, but only if he houses 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish

Anything larger than 40 and he'll need more room.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The tank is 30 cm by 30 cm by 100 cm. The volume is 30*30*100 = 90,000 cm^3 which is shorthand for "cubic centimeters".

We're told that 1000 cm^3 = 1 liter, which means the 90,000 cm^3 converts to (90,000)/(1000) = 90 liters.

The fish tank is 90 liters.

Since 1 gallon = 4.5 liters, this means the 90 liter tank converts to 90/(4.5) = 20 gallons

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

Your teacher mentions "He can keep 2 small fish for every 1 gallon".

Since the tank is 20 gallons, that means he can keep 20*2 = 40 fish. This value is larger than 36, so Matt is correct to a point. If Matt is thinking 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish then he would be correct. If Matt is wanting more than 40 fish, then he'll need a bigger tank.

In short, he can't have any number over 36 and can only have 4 specific values (the four values mentioned earlier).

So technically, Matt is correct, but strong clarification is needed.

Two planes are the same altitude. From the airport , one plane is 50 km away in the direction of N°60 E and another is 80 km away in the direction of S50° E .How far apart are the two planes

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  78.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Measured at the airport, the angle between the two planes is ...

  180° -60° -50° = 70°

The law of cosines tells us the distance between the planes is ...

  d = √(50² +80² -2·50·80·cos(70°)) ≈ √6163.84 ≈ 78.5 . . . km

The planes are about 78.5 km apart.

a. 0.3783.
b. 0.0228.
c. 1.0000.
d. 0.5000.

Answers

Answer:

b. 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=40

Mean,[tex]\mu=402.7 g[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=8.8[/tex]g

We have to find the probability hat the mean weight for a sample of 40 summer squash exceeds 405.5 grams.

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\frac{405.5-402.7}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(Z>\frac{2.8}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(Z>2.01)[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=1-P(Z\leq 2.01)[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=1-0.977784[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=0.022216[/tex]

Hence, option b is correct.

a. What is the median of the reported blood pressure values?
b. Suppose the blood pressure of the second individual is 117.7 rather than 117.4 (a small change in a single value). What is the new median of the reported values?
c. What does this say about the sensitivity of the median to rounding or grouping in the data?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the data in the ascending order:

108.6 98.3 103.7 112 117.4 120 121.5 123.2 128.4

The median is the middle value of the data set:

a)

Hence,

median = 117.4

b)

When the value of blood pressure is 117.7 instead of 117.4 then the median will be:

Median = 117.7

c)

This indicates that the median of a well sorted set of data is depends upon the middle value of the data set.

Answers

Answer:

A) 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Sam's monthly bills are normally distributed with mean 2700 and standard deviation 230.9.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2700, \sigma = 230.9[/tex]

What is the probability that his expenses will exceed his income in the following month?

Expenses above 2*1500 = $3000, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3000.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{3000 - 2700}{230.9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9032.

1 - 0.9032 = 0.0968 that is, close to 10%, and thus the correct answer is given by option A.
