<h3>There are 11 years before both the elections happen in the same year.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The mayor gets selected once in every 4 years.

So, the number of years the mayor elections takes place

=  1, 4 ,8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28,....

Now, the Treasurer gets selected once in every 6 years.

So, the number of years the Treasurer elections takes place

= 1,  6, 12, 18, 24, 30

Now,as we can see from both statements, the year in which both elections happen are the <u>common factors of 4 and 6.</u>

<u>The first common factor of 4 and 6 is 12. </u>

<u></u>

So,in twelfth year both elections happen in the same year again.

Hence, there are 11 years before the elections happen in the same year.

A cyclist cycles a distance of 40 miles in a time of 2 hours. what is her average speed?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

see this and it by your own

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you find average speed with distance and time?

Divide the distance by the time.

This will give you the average speed per unit of time, usually hour. So, if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, his average speed is 50 miles per hour

How do you find average speed with hours and minutes?

How to calculate average speed. Speed is distance divided by time. Simply put, if you drove 60 kilometer's for one hour, it would look like this: Speed = distance (60 km) / time (1 hour) = 60km/h.

Need help. greatly appreciated
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
1. It must be divisible by 2 and 3. It IS divisible by 2. it IS divisible by 3. No remainder.
2. Add the digits and see if the sum is divisible by 3. Apply this rule to both numbers. 3 is not a common factor.

For each of the following binomial random variables, specify n and p. (a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) n = 50, p = \frac{1}{6}

b) n = 16, p = \frac{1}{100}

c) n = 26, p = 0.25, \mu = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5 is rolled

The die is rolled 50 times, so n = 50.

Each roll can have 6 outcomes. So the probability that 5 is rolled is p = \frac{1}{6}

(b) A company puts a game card in each box of cereal and 1/100 of them are winners. You buy sixteen boxes of cereal, and X = number of times you win.

You buy 16 boxes of cereal, so n = 16.

1 of 100 are winners. So p = \frac{1}{100}.

(c) Jack likes to play computer solitaire and wins about 25% of the time. X = number of games he wins out of his next 26 games.

He plays 26 games, so n = 26.

He wins 25% of the time, so p = 0.25

We have that \mu = np. So \mu = 26*0.25 = 6.5

Kay's Dessert Shop bakes cookies. The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies baked is always 5 to 2. If she bakes 210 cookies
Gnom [1K]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies is 5:2

If she bakes 210 cookies in one day

Suppose she baked x amount of chocolate chips on that day

So, we can write

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{5+2}\times 210\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 210=60

There were 60 sugar cookies on that day
