Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

2 mint sticks,

9 jelly treats, and

9 fruit tart chews.

Sample space = {2+9+9} = 20

N/B this is done without replacement since the candy are eaten Hence after each selection the candy and the sample size reduces

1.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 9/20

2.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 8/19

Hence the probability of her first two pieces will both

be jelly i= 9/20*8/19= 72/380

= 18/95

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

siniylev [52]

Answer: Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The current area is 12x4 which is 48yards^2. 60 percent of that is 48x0.4=19.2. Now you can just put some random numbers that when multiplied = 19.2. For ex. 2 and 9.6, 4 and 4.8.

What is the volume of the cylinder if the height is 2x+7 and the radius is x-3
shusha [124]

Answer:

Therefore the volume of the cylinder=\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)  cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given height of a cylinder is (h) =2x+7

and radius  (r)= x-3

Volume of the cylinder = \pi r^2 h

                                  =\pi (x-3)^2(2x+7)

                                  =\pi (x^2-6x+9)(2x+7)

                                  =\pi (2x^3-12x^2+18x+7x^2-42x+63)

                                  =\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)  cubic units

Therefore the volume of the cylinder=\pi(2x^3-5x^2-24x+63)  cubic units

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function f(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-x+6
notka56 [123]

A 4th degree polynomial will have at most 3 extreme values. Since the degree is even, there will be one global extreme, with possible multiplicity. The remainder, if any, will be local extremes that may be coincident with each other and/or the global extreme.


(The number of extremes corresponds to the degree of the derivative, which is 1 less than the degree of the polynomial.)
