Change.29 to a fraction. [?] [ ]

Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD

Ket [755]

Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the least number which all the denominators can divide without remainder. The given denominators are 2, 16 and 8. The least number 2, 16 and 8 will divide without remainder is 16. Therefore, to express the fractions 1/2, 3/12, and 7/8 with an LCD, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each of the fractions with a common factor that makes the denominator to be 16. Therefore, 1/2, 3/16 and 7/8 expressed with an LCD are (1 x 8) / (2 x 8), 3/16, (7 x 2) / (8 x 2) = 8/16, 3/16, and 14/16.

Tanya needs to buy chocolate bars for all the children in year 7. Each of the 130 children get one chocolate bar. There are 8 ch

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

17 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

So Tanya needs 130 chocolate bars.

But there is 8 in each packet.

So,

130 ÷ 8 = 16.25

16 packets

As you can see, there is a quarter left of chocolates that she needs (0.25). So what she can do is buy 1 more packet then give the quarter of that packet to the children.

So 16 + 1 = 17 packets

Seventy percent of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

(a) The probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection is 0.343.

(b) The probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail is 0.657.

(c) The probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.189.

(d) The probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.216.

(e) The probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes is 0.3525.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of vehicles that pass the inspection.

The probability of the random variable X is P (X) = 0.70.

(a)

Compute the probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection as follows:

P (All 3 vehicles pass) = [P (X)]³

$=(0.70)^{3}\\=0.343$

Thus, the probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection is 0.343.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail as follows:

P (At least 1 of 3 fails) = 1 - P (All 3 vehicles pass)

$=1-0.343\\=0.657$

Thus, the probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail is 0.657.

(c)

Compute the probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes as follows:

P (Exactly one) = P (1st vehicle or 2nd vehicle or 3 vehicle)

= P (Only 1st vehicle passes) + P (Only 2nd vehicle passes)

+ P (Only 3rd vehicle passes)

$=(0.70\times0.30\times0.30) + (0.30\times0.70\times0.30)+(0.30\times0.30\times0.70)\\=0.189$

Thus, the probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.189.

(d)

Compute the probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes as follows:

P (At most 1 vehicle passes) = P (Exactly 1 vehicles passes)

+ P (0 vehicles passes)

$=0.189+(0.30\times0.30\times0.30)\\=0.216$

Thus, the probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.216.

(e)

Let X = all 3 vehicle passes and Y = at least 1 vehicle passes.

Compute the conditional probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes as follows:

$P(X|Y)=\frac{P(X\cap Y)}{P(Y)} =\frac{P(X)}{P(Y)} =\frac{(0.70)^{3}}{[1-(0.30)^{3}]} =0.3525$

Thus, the probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes is 0.3525.
