Given that,

The length of ribbon= 36 inch

We know, if Shelia wants to divide the ribbon in 5 equal parts, she needs to divide the length of the ribbon by 5.

So,

The length of the 5 equal parts of the ribbon= 36/5= 7.2 inch

But Shelia got each pieces length equals to 7 inches.

So, There is an error of (7.2-7) 0.2 inches in her calculation.

For a group of 100 people, compute(a) the expected number of days of the year that are birthdays of exactly 3 people.(b) the exp
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Leaving leap years, a year contains 365 days.

For a group of 100 people, each person is independent of the other and probability of any day being his birthday has a chance of

\frac{1}{365}

a) Probability that  exactly 3 people have same birthday = \frac{1}{365^3}

Each day is independent of the other

And hence no of days having exactly 3 persons birthday out of 100 persons is binomial with n = 365 and p = \frac{1}{365^3}

Expected value of days = np = \frac{1}{365^2}

b) Distinct birthdays is binomail with p =1/365 and n = 365

Hence

expected value = np =1

Calcular la edades actuales de una madre y sus dos hijos sabiendo que hace 14 años la dad de la madre era 5
rodikova [14]

The present age of mother and her daughter respectively are; 40 and 10 years respectively.

<h3>How to Solve Algebra Word Problems?</h3>

Let x and y be the present age of mother and her daughter respectively.

Therefore;

x + y = 50

x = 50 − y     .....(1)

After 20 years, mother's age will be twice her daughter's age at the time. Thus;

x + 20 = 2(y + 20)

x − 2y = 20     .....(2)

Plugging eq 1 into eq 2 gives us;

50 − y − 2y = 20

3y = 30

y = 10

Thus;

x = 50 − 10

x = 40

Thus, the present age of mother and her daughter is 40 and 10 years respectively.

Translation of the question into English is;

The sum of the present ages of mother and her daughter is 50 years. After 20 years, mother's age will be twice her daughter's age at the time. Find their present ages.

In rhombus fmkw mk=12 fk= 16 m
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

If it is area your looking for.

Area = product of diagonal lengths divided by 2

Area = 12* 16 /2

         =192/2  = 96.

IF it is the side length of the rhombus:

apply Pythagoras theorem since the diagonals always meet at 90°.

L =√(12² + 16²)

L= √400 = 20

Answer:

  acute scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest angle is acute, and all sides are different lengths. The triangle is an<em> acute scalene triangle</em>.

____

The magnitudes of the coordinate differences are ...

  WX = (7, 5), XY = (2, 7), WY = (9, 2)

The two sides that are closest in length are ...

  WX = √(49+25) = √74

  WY = √(81 +4) = √85

Obviously, these are different lengths.

You can get a clue by comparing the numbers whose squares you are adding:

  7^2 +5^2 > 7^2 +2^2 . . . . . WX > XY

  9^2 +2^2 > 7^2 +2^2 . . . . WY > XY

so, the only question is relation between WX and WY. We note that the length of WX is less than one of the coordinate differences of WY, so we know WY is the longest. (√74 < 9)

We can tell from the graph that angle X (opposite longest side WY) is an acute angle, so the triangle is acute.

One candy bar would be $5 thus 3 bars being $15 plus the $30 in juice which equals $45 :)
