The statement which identifies Melissa’s error and the correct answer is; Melissa added incorrectly. The correct answer is 4.5°F

<h3>Temperature</h3>

  • Initial temperature = -20.5°F
  • Change in temperature per hour = 5°F
  • Number of hours = 5

New temperature = Initial temperature + (Change in temperature per × Number of hours)

= -20.5°F + (5°F × 5)

= -20.5°F + (25°F)

= 4.5°F

Find the probability of exactly three successes in six trials of a binomial experiment in which the the probability of is 50%.
Lyrx [107]

Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu
IgorC [24]

Answer:

\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

\sqrt{xy}

The Arithmetic mean is

\frac{x + y}{2}

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} }  =  \frac{3}{5}

We can write the equation;

\sqrt{xy}  = 3

or

xy = 9 -  -  - (2)

l

and

\frac{x + y}{2}  = 5

or

x + y = 10 -  -  - (2)

Make y the subject in equation 2

y = 10 - x -  -  - (3)

Put equation 3 in 1

x(10 - x) = 9

10x -  {x}^{2}  = 9

{x}^{2}  - 10x + 9 = 0

(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0

x =1  \: or \: 9

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

\frac{1}{9}

At a gas station, it takes 14 seconds to pump 2 gallons of gas. if the amount of gasoline pumped varies directly with time, how
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do this, we know that 2 gallons takes 14 seconds. (2:14)

Based on that data, we can know that 1 gallon takes 7 seconds. (1:7)

-> 2/14 = 1/7

Now we can multiply by 12 to get 12 gallons on one side.

What we do on one side has to happen to the other side.

So, 12 gallons * 1 gallons = 12 gallons and 12 gallons * 7 gallons = 84 gallons.

So the final answer is 85 gallons,
