Each person gets 2 2/3 cups of ice-cream
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you convert 6 quarts to cups. For every quart, there are 4 cups so you do 6 times 4 and you get 24 then you divide 24 by 9 and you get 2 2/3

Suppose a bag contains many marbles, 54% of which are purple. You draw 5 marbles from the bag with replacement.

dolphi86 [110]

Part A

Use the binomial probability distribution formula.

p = 0.54 = probability of getting a purple marble

n = 5 = sample size

x = 2 = number of purple we want to get

$P(x) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(2) = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}*0.54^2*(1-0.54)^{5-2}\\\\P(2) = 10*0.54^2*0.46^3\\\\P(2) = 0.283831776\\\\$

The $\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$ portion is from the nCr combination formula. The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.

Alternatively, you could use Pascal's Triangle for that portion.

<h3>Answer: 0.283831776</h3>

This decimal value is exact. Round it however you need to.

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

Part B

To find the expected value, aka the mean, we multiply the sample size and probability of getting a purple marble on any single selection.

n*p = 5*0.54 = 2.7

<h3>Answer: 2.7</h3>

4 employees drive to work in the same car. the workers claim they were late to work because of a flat tire. their managers ask t

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.015625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There number of tires are 4.

The number of workers are 4.

The probability that individual select front drivers side tire = $\frac{1}{4}$

The probability that they all select front drivers side,tire is: $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{256}$

Similarly,

The probability that they all select front passenger side, tire is: $\frac{1}{256}$

The probability that they all select rear driver side,tire is: $\frac{1}{256}$

The probability that they all select rear passenger side, tire is: $\frac{1}{256}$

Hence, the probability that all four workers select the same tire = $\frac{1}{256}+ \frac{1}{256}+\frac{1}{256}+\frac{1}{256}$

the probability that all four workers select the same tire = $\frac{4}{256}=\frac{1}{64}=0.015625$

Hence, the required probability is 0.015625.

A property was assessed at 25% of value with a tax rate of $12 per hundred. if the taxes totaled $11,400, what was the value? 1

shusha [124]

11400 ÷12 = 950 hundreds

95000 x 100/25 = $380,000 <== value of the property
