You are creating a decorative rope that is at least 20 feet long. You do not have enough 6 inch beads to make the rope, so you w

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of rope = 120 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

20 foot = 20*12 = 240 inches

Length of bead = 10 inches

Let,

x represents the number of beads used on rope.

As the rope is 240 inches long, therefore, the total length of beads cannot exceed 240 inches.

Length of each bead*Number of beads ≤ length of rope

10*x\leq 240\\10x\leq 240

Dividing both sides by 10

\frac{10x}{10}\leq \frac{240}{10}\\x\leq 24

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

A true-false quiz with 10 questions was given to a statistics class. Following is the probability distribution for the score of
disa [49]

Answer:

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=5*0.05 +6*0.15 +7*0.33 +8*0.28+ 9*0.12 +10*0.07=7.48  

For this case this value means that the expected score is about 7.48

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following probability distribution:

X         5       6         7       8        9        10

P(X)   0.05   0.15  0.33  0.28   0.12   0.07

First we need to find the expected value (first moment) and the second moment in order to find the variance and then the standard deviation.

In order to calculate the expected value we can use the following formula:  

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=5*0.05 +6*0.15 +7*0.33 +8*0.28+ 9*0.12 +10*0.07=7.48  

For this case this value means that the expected score is about 7.48

In order to find the standard deviation we need to find first the second moment, given by :  

E(X^2)=\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)  

And using the formula we got:  

E(X^2)=(5^2 *0.05)+(6^2 *0.15)+(7^2 *0.33)+(8^2 *0.28)+ (9^2 *0.12 +(10^2 *0.07))=57.46  

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =57.46-(7.48)^2 =1.5096  

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{1.5096}=1.229

The area of Terry's room at the old house was 96 ft.2. The area of Terry's room at the new house is 108 ft.2
Finger [1]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the change in the area of Terry's room this is

108 ft2 - 96 ft2 = 12 ft2

Then we use a direct proportion in order to find the percentage

96 ft2 ----- 100%

12 ft2 ----- p?

Solvin for p we have that

p=\frac{12\times 100}{96}

p=12.5
