The chance of solving a problem by A and B is and 1/3 and 2/5 respectively. What is the probability the problem will be solved?
a)2/15
b)1
c)9/15
d)11/15
Books shows "c" as the answer.. I am confused.. ​

Answers

Answer 1

We want to compute the probability P(A or B) because we could either solve it following path A, path B, or doing both paths.

P(A) = 1/3

P(B) = 2/5

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)  assuming A,B are independent

P(A and B) = (1/3)*(2/5)

P(A and B) = 2/15

--------

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 1/3 + 2/5 - 2/15

P(A or B) = 5/15 + 6/15 - 2/15

P(A or B) = (5 + 6 - 2)/15

P(A or B) = 9/15

We could reduce this to 3/5, but it appears your teacher has chosen not to.

Mr. Ellington has a total of 32 students in his class , The ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, how many girls are in Mr . Ellington's class ?

Answers

Add the ratio: 3 + 5 = 8

Divide total students by that:

32/8 = 4

The ratio for girls is 3, multiply the 4 by 3:

4 x 3 = 12

There are 12 girls

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, that means that for every 8 total students, 3 would be girls and 5 would be boys. Therefore 3/8 of the students are girls and 5/8 are boys. If 3/8 are girls, then:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of 32

= [tex]\frac{3}{8} * 32[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3 * 32}{8} \\= \frac{96}{8} \\= 12[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

Required

The maximum and minimum of z

To do this, we make use of the graphical method

See attachment for graphs of

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

The corner points of the function are:

[tex](x,y) = (-1,1)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,-1)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

Calculate z with  the above values

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(0) = -4[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(-1) = -9[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]

The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 feet and
its area is 192 square feet. What are the
dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

Area = L*W

Area = 192

(L + W)*2 = 56

L+W = 28

L = 28 - W

W*(28 - W) = 192

28W - w^2 = 92

-w^2 + 28w - 192 = 0

w^2 - 28w + 192  = 0

This factors into

(w - 12)(w - 16) = 0

w - 12 = 0

w = 12

L = 28 - 12 = 16

b)600pi

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first questions, since the arc is 240°, the area of the sector and circumference will be 240/360 or 2/3 of the total of the circles'. Therefore 125.6 x 3/2 is the circumference, which is 188.4. When we divide this by 6.28, we get 30

Now, since the area is pi r^2 where we know that r=30, we get 900pi as the area of the whole thing, however since the sector is 2/3 of the whole circle, 2/3 x 900pi = 600pi

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equatio 2x - 5 = - 3x ^ 2

Answers

alright I can help!

so to find the two values of x that are roots of the equation we need to put the variables all on one side so that we can set up the quadratic formula.

3x^2+2x-5=0 (the -3x^2 becomes positive when moved across the equal sign)

now we can set up the quadratic formula. the equation is x= (-b+-(sqrt of b^2 -4ac))/ 2a

so now we just plug in our variables.

x= (-2+-(sqrt of 2^2 -4×3×-5))/ 2×3

x= (-2+-8)/6

now we just seperate the equations so that we have the two roots. and then just solve!

x= (-2-8)/6 -> x= -5/3

x= (-2+8)/6 -> x=1

hope this helps! best wishes and best of luck!!

What is Division?

A division is a process of splitting a specific amount into equal parts.

Given that five children share 24m of ribbon equally.

We have to find the amount of ribbon each children gets.

To find this we have to divide the length of the ribbon with the number of children.

Twenty four divided by five.

24 is the dividend and five will be the divisor

24/5

Now we have to write this in mixed fraction

∠ ELM = 149°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ KLM = ∠ KLE + ∠ ELM  , substitute values

17x - 1 = 20 + 15x - 1

17x - 1 = 15x + 19 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 19 ( add 1 to both sides  )

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10

∠ ELM = 15x - 1 = 15(10) - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149°

A person walks away from a pulley pulling a rope slung over it. The rope is being held at a height 10 feet below the pulley. Suppose that the weight at the opposite end of the rope is rising at 4 feet per second. At what rate is the person walking when s/he is 20 feet from being directly under the pulley

Answers

The image of this question is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, let's denote the following;

d = horizontal distance beneath pulley

h = height of pulley

l = diagonal from the pulley to the head of the person

v = velocity of rope rising

Using pythagoras theorem;

l² = d² + h²

Differentiating with respect to time and considering h = c^(te) gives;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

We are given;

d = 20 ft

h = 10 ft

v = 4 ft/s

We know that velocity in this case is change in diagonal distance with time. Thus;

v = dl/dt = 4 ft/s

From earlier, we saw that;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

Thus, reducing it gives

(dl/dt)(l/d) = dd/dt

Now, l² = d² + h²

l = √(d² + h²)

Also, v = dl/dt = 4

Thus;

4(√(d² + h²))/d = dd/dt

4(√(20² + 10²))/20 = dd/dt

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s
