There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles.
The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is 3/8.
There are 72 marbles in total in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen.
Work out how many red marbles there must be.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

specific probability = number of specific possibilities divided by number of total possibilities.

the number of total possibilities is 72 (we can pull one out of 72).

the probability of pulling a red back is 3/8.

so, to find the actual number of specific possibilities (actual number of red balls in the overall sample size of 72) we need to bring this ratio of 3/8 to an expression of x/72.

what is the factor to turn 8 into 72 ? 9.

8×f = 72

f = 72/8 = 9

to keep the ratio unchanged in its dimension, we need to apply the same factor to 3 to get x.

3/8 × f/f = x/72

3/8 × 9/9 = x/72

3×9 / 72 = x/72

3×9 = x = 27

so, the probability ratio based on actual possibilities (number of balls available) is 27/72

=>

there are 27 red balls in the bag of total 72 balls.

A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 90 entering freshman and computes their mean mathematics sat score to be 436. assume the population standard deviation is σ = 101. Based on a 99% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score, is it likely that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460?

Answers

Answer:

460 is part of the confidence interval, which means that we cannot say that there is significant evidence that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{101}{\sqrt{90}} = 27.4[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 436 - 27.4 = 408.6.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 436 + 27.4 = 463.4.

460 is part of the confidence interval, which means that we cannot say that there is significant evidence that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460

consider the polygon shown. Determine the value of y. PLEASE HELP​

Answers

Answer:

y = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

m(∠E) = 90°

m(∠E) = m(∠D)

m(∠B) + 67° = 180° [pair of linear angles]

m(∠B) = 113°

m(∠C) + 75° = 180°

m(∠C) = 180° - 75°

           = 105°

Since, sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°

Here, n = number of sides

For n = 5,

Sum of interior angles = (5 - 2) × 180°

                                     = 540°

m(∠A) + m(∠B) + m(∠C) + m(∠D) + m(∠E) = 540°

m(∠A) + 113° + 105° + m(∠D) + 90° = 540°

(m∠D) + m(∠D) = 540 - 308 [Since, m(∠A) = m(∠D)]

2(m∠D) = 232

m(∠D) = 116°

m(∠D) + y° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

116 + y = 180

y = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle equal

[tex] \frac{b \times h}{2} = a[/tex]

where b is the base and h is the height.

Plug in what we know.

[tex] \frac{b \times 6x}{2} = 6 {x}^{2} + 24x[/tex]

Multiply 2 by both sides.

[tex]b \times 6x = 2(6 {x}^{2} + 24x)[/tex]

A brick staircase has a total of 17 steps The bottom step requires 131 bricks. Each successive step requires 5 less bricks than the prior one. How many bricks are required to build the staircase?

Answers

Answer: 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Number of bricks in the first step, [tex]a_1[/tex] = 131

Number of bricks in the second step, [tex]a_2[/tex] = 131 - 5 = 126

Number of bricks in the third step, [tex]a_3[/tex] = 126 - 5 = 121

Sequence become:

131, 126, 121, .....

These are in arithmetic progression where a = 131 and d (common difference) = -5

To calculate the sum of an AP, we use the formula:

[tex]S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

where,

n = number of terms = 17

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]S_n=\frac{17}{2}[2(131)+(17-1)(-5)]\\\\S_n=\frac{17\times 182}{2}=1547[/tex]

Hence, 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.

santino is renting a canoe from a local shop that charges a $10 fee, plus an hourly rate of $7.50. For how long can santino rent a canoe if he pays a total of $70

Answers

Answer:

Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill is represented by the formula r(h) = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h,

where h is the number of hours over which the canoe is rented.

If the total bill is $70, then $70 = $10 +  ($7.50/hour)h.

Solve this for h.  Start by subtracting $10 from both sides, obtaining:

$60 =  ($7.50/hour)h.

Dividing both sides by ($7.50/hour), we get:

           $60

h = --------------------- = 8 hours

      ($7.50/hour)

Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.

context to question - At a carnaval , you pay $15 for admission plus $3 for each ride that you go on . ​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]

The inverse function is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Admission = 15[/tex]

[tex]Ride = 3[/tex] per ride

Required

Explain the inverse function

First, we calculate the function

Let x represents the number of rides

So:

[tex]f(x) = Admission + Ride * x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 15 + 3 * x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 15 + 3x[/tex]

For the inverse function, we have:

[tex]y = 15 + 3x[/tex]

Swap x and y

[tex]x = 15 + 3y[/tex]

Make 3y the subject

[tex]3y = x - 15[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]

Replace y with the inverse function

[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]

The above is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid

The length of a rectangle is four times its width.
If the area of the rectangle is 100 yd”, find its perimeter.

Answers

Answer: 50yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of any rectangle is length times width.  The perimeter is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.

Let width = x

Let length = 4x

Area = 100m2

Next, we can write an equation using these variables and formula for area.

4x2 = 100

x2 = 25

x = -5      and        x = 5

Since the dimensions cannot be negative, we accept the positive value:

x = 5

Next, we can substitute this value of x into the variables.

width = 5 m

length = 20 m

Finally, we can find the perimeter by plugging in these dimensions into the perimeter formula,

Perimeter = 2(5 m) + 2(20 m)

              = 10 m + 40 m

              = 50 m

The equation of the line passing through (2, 3) with a slope of 5 is y = [] x - []
what are the answers to []​

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 5, then

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7

y = 5x - 7 ← equation of line

Given:

Leila is arranging 11 cans of food in a row on a shelf. She has 4 cans of corn, 1 can of peas, and 6 cans of beets.

To find:

The distinct orders can the cans be arranged if two cans of the same food are considered identical.

Solution:

Total number of cans = 11

Cans of corn = 4

Cans of Peas = 1

Cans of beets = 6

We need to find divide total possible arrangements (11!) by the repeating arrangements (1!, 4!, 6!) to find the distinct orders can the cans be arranged if two cans of the same food are considered identical.

[tex]\text{Distinct order}=\dfrac{11!}{1!4!6!}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distinct order}=\dfrac{11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6!}{1\times (4\times 3\times 2\times 1)\times 6!}[/tex]

Find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle

so

Answer:

The difference between the two possible lengths for the third side of the triangle is about 10.21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the lengths of two sides of a right triangle is 12 inches and 15 inches.

And we want to find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side.

In the first case, assume that neither 12 nor 15 is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Then our third side c must follow the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substitute in known values:

[tex](12)^2+(15)^2=c^2[/tex]

Solve for c:

[tex]c=\sqrt{12^2+15^2}=\sqrt{369}=\sqrt{9\cdot 41}=3\sqrt{41}[/tex]

In the second case, we will assume that one of the given lengths is the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, the hypotenuse will be 15. Again, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substitute in known values:

[tex](12)^2+b^2=(15)^2[/tex]

Solve for b:

[tex]b=\sqrt{15^2-12^2}=\sqrt{81}=9[/tex]

Therefore, the difference between the two possible lengths for the third side is:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Difference}=(3\sqrt{41})-(9)\approx 10.21\text{ inches}[/tex]
