A paper bag contains a mixture of 3 types of candy. there are 10 packs of fuzzy peaches, 7 packs of sour keys, and 3 packs of ne

rds. suppose a game is played in which a candy is randomly taken from the bag, replaced, and then a second candy is drawn from the bag. if you are allowed to keep the second candy only if it was the same type a the one that was drawn the first time, calculate the probability of each of the following: a) you will keep a pack of fuzzy peaches b) you will be able to keep any of the candy c) you will not be able to keep any of the candy

The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

a. Based on the information given, the probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be:

= 10/(10 + 7 + 3) × 10/(10 + 7 + 3)

= 10/20 × 10/20

= 1/4

= 0.25

The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

b. The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 7/20) + (3/20 × 3/20)

= 100/400 + 49/400 + 9/400

= 158/400

= 0.395

The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.395.

c. The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 13/20) + (3/20 × 17/20)

= 100/400 + 91/400 + 51/400

= 242/400

= 0.605

The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.605.

Lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%. A scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish i
natita [175]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f  </em>

<em>B)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>

<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>

<em>173,535.692770952 = X  </em>

<em>C)</em>

<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>

<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

HELP URGENT PLEASE
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A)

15 hours

B)

108 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in one complete rotation about its axis ( 24 hours) the Earth will cover 360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In every 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees ( a complete rotation). We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 225 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 225 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/225)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 225 = 15 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians (a complete rotation) . We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 9π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 9π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/9π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*9π radians = 108 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles
