the perimeter of a rectangular field is 326 yards. if the width of the field is 75 yards, what is its length?

1 answer:

8 0

Perimeter = (2*length) + (2*width)
326 = (2*length) + (2*75)
326 - 150 = 2*length
2*length = 176
length = 176 / 2
length = 88

A restaurant offers three sizes of coffee and four differerſt types of coffee.

Kruka [31]

<h3>Answer: 864</h3>

=======================================================

Work Shown:

There are,

3 sizes of coffee
4 types of coffee
2 choices for cream (you pick it or you leave it out)
2 choices for sugar (same idea as the cream)

This means there are 3*4*2*2 = 12*4 = 48 different coffees. We'll use this value later, so let A = 48.

There are 6 bagel options. Also, there are 3 choices in terms of if you order the bagel plain, with butter, or with cream cheese. This leads to 6*3 = 18 different ways to order a bagel. Let B = 18.

Multiply the values of A and B to get the final answer

A*B = 48*18 = 864

There are 864 ways to order a coffee and bagel at this restaurant.

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

If you're curious why you multiply the values out, consider this smaller example.

Let's say you had 3 choices of coffee and 2 choices for a bagel. Form a table with 3 rows and 2 columns. Place the different coffee choices along the left to form each row. Along the top, we'll have the two different bagel choices (one for each column).

This 3 by 2 table leads to 3*2 = 6 individual table cells inside. Each cell in the table represents a coffee+bagel combo. This idea is applied to the section above, but we have a lot more options.

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$
