) 10 counters in a bag. 4 red, 3 green, 2 pink and 1 blue. Ella picks a counter at random from the bag, notes the colour and then puts it back in the bag. a) Ella uses this method to work out the probability of selecting 2 greens in a row. She writes: "There are four colours, so the probability of selecting a green is 1 4 + 1 4 = 2 4 , so the probability is 1 2 ." a) Make two criticisms of Ella's method. b) Calculate the probability of selecting two counters of the same colour. (

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) i) The probability depends on the total number of counters not on the number of colors.

  ii) There are 10 number of counters not 4

b) [tex]\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of counters in a bag = 10

Number of red counters = 4

Number of green counters = 3

Number of pink counters = 2

Number of blue counters = 1

a) Ella writes: "There are four colors, so the probability of selecting a green is [tex]\frac{1}4 + \frac{1}4 = \frac{2}4[/tex] , so the probability is [tex]\frac{1}2[/tex]"

Ella has considered the total type of counters here, which is 4.

But Ella must have considered total number of counters which is 10.

  i) The probability depends on the total number of counters not on the number of colors.

  ii) There are 10 number of counters not 4

b) There are 4 colors in the bag.

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

To select 2 counters of the same color:

[tex]P(2\ red) = \dfrac{4}{10}\times \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{16}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(2\ green) = \dfrac{3}{10}\times \dfrac{3}{10} = \dfrac{9}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(2\ pink) = \dfrac{2}{10}\times \dfrac{2}{10} = \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(2\ blue) = \dfrac{1}{10}\times \dfrac{1}{10} = \dfrac{1}{100}[/tex]

The required probability will be the sum of all 4 above probabilities:

[tex]P(2\ of\ same\ color) = \dfrac{30}{100} = \bold{\dfrac{3}{10} }[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you are multiplying by 4

I hope this helps you to understands better

The next two-term of the sequence is 1536 and 6144 and the multiplicity is 4

Given the sequence of numbers expressed as 6, 24, 96, 384, ...

The given sequence is a geometric sequence. The nth term of the sequence is expressed as;

[tex]T_n = ar^{n-1}[/tex]

a is the first term

r is the common ratio or multiplicity

n is the number of terms

Given the following parameters

a = 6

r = 24/6 = 96/24 = 4

n = 5 and 6 (5th and 6th term)

For the fifth term;

[tex]T_{5} = 6(4)^{5-1}\\T_5=6(4)^4\\T_5 = 1536[/tex]

For the sixth term;

[tex]T_{6} = 6(4)^{6-1}\\T_6=6(4)^5\\T_6 = 6144[/tex]

Hence the next two-term of the sequence is 1536 and 6144 and the multiplicity is 4

Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. He wants to have an account balance of at least $200 in the account at the end of the summer.

Answers

Answer:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the inequality is 500 - 25x >= 200

this insures that he will have at least 200 at the end of the summer.

subtract 200 from both sides of that inequality and add 25x to both sides of that inequality to get 500 - 200 >= 25x

simplify to get 300 >= 25x

divide both sides of that equation by 25 to get 300 / 25 >= x

simplify to get 12 >= x

12 >= x means x <= 12.

 

when x is smaller than or equal to 12, he will be guaranteed to have at least 200 in the account at the end of the summer.

when x = 12, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 12 = 200.

when x = 11, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 11 = 225.

when x = 13, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 13 = 175.

the maximum number of weeks he can withdraw money from his account is 12.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and -6, and whose leading coefficient is 5.
(Use the letter x to represent the variable.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=5x^2+25x-30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation

If the roots of a quadratic equation are known, we can form the equation as follows:

[tex]f(x)=a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)[/tex]

where x1 and x2 are the known roots, and a is the leading coefficient.

We are given the roots as x1=1 and x2=-6, and the leading coefficient as a=5, thus:

[tex]f(x)=5(x-1)(x+6)[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]f(x)=5(x^2-x+6x-6)[/tex]

Let’s get out the key words here.
Lara gathers 9
Mae gathers 7
Lara collects 63
Mae collects ?
**Fewer seashells**

9 • ? = 63
9 • 7 = 63
This means she would need to gather 9 seashells 7 times to get 63 seashells.
This means Mae would need to get 7 shells 7 times to get her fewer amount.

7 • 7 = 49

Mae would gather 49 seashells. But it says fewer seashells.
63- 49 = 14

Final Answer: Mae would gather 14 less seashells then Lara.

The probability of a basketball player making a free throw is 76%. In practice she shoots 10 free throws. What is the probability that he makes 7 free throws?

Answers

Answer:

0.243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Probability of success (p) = 76% = 0.76

Number of free throws (n) = 10

Probability of making 7 free throws = r

Using binomial distribution :

nCr * p^r * (1 - p)^(n-r)

10C7 * 0.76^7 * (1 - 0.76)^(10 - 7)

10C7 * 0.76^7 * 0.24^3

120 * 0.14645 * 0.013824

= 0.24294

Hence probability of making 7 free throws from 10 is 0.243

(2) A store is having a 20%-off sale on all merchandise. If Mai buys one item and saves $13, what was the original price of her purchase? Explain your reasoning. *

Answers

Answer:

$65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the item

Mai buys one item and saves $13,

This means 20% of the original price of the item = $13

20% of x = 13

20/100 * x = 13

0.2 * x = 13

0.2x = 13

Divide both sides by 0.2

x = 13 / 0.2

= 65

x = $65

Therefore, the original price of the item is $65

  p = 3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram pretty much explains it.

The unknown dimension at the top was the subject of a previous problem. It is the difference in length between the two marked horizontal segments:

  (2x +15) -(x) = x +15 . . . . . length of unmarked solid horizontal line

Similarly, the length of the unmarked vertical line on the right is the difference between the marked vertical lines:

  (2x -5) -(x -5) = x . . . . . length of unmarked solid vertical line

__

The formula for the area of a rectangle is used to find the areas of the left-side and right-side rectangles. Respectively, those areas are ...

  left-side area = x(2x -5)

  right-side area = x(x +15)

Then the total area enclosed by the solid line is ...

  x(2x -5) +x(x +15) = x(2x -5 +x +15) = x(3x +10)

__

The area of the lot extension is the product of its dimensions:

  extension area = x·p

We want this to be the same as the area in the solid line, so ...

  x·p = x·(3x +10)

Dividing by the coefficient of p (which is x), we have ...

  p = 3x +10

Answer:

I believe it it 13 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

                                                      6 hours

1 mile = 5,280 feet                                            1 day = 24 hours

5,280 x 270 = 425,600                                    1 hour = 3600 seconds

270 miles = 425,600 feet                                 3600 x 6 = 21,600

                                                                           3600 x 24 = 86,400

  Fraction:                                                                  Fraction:
