<h3>The number of beads lina has is 31</h3><h3>Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has

There are 6 beads in each packet

7+4b = 11b

= 11(6)

=66

From given,

Lina has a total of 7 + 4b beads

Given that, There are 6 beads in each packet

Substitute b = 6

7 + 4(6)

Simplify

7 + 24

Add

31

Thus, she has a total of 31 beads and not 66 beads

Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b

But a constant and variable cannot be added

Answer:

D) 5 miles to 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each small box is 1 mile you can count the boxes to line up with the 1 hour graph. Hence, 5 boxes to 1 hour box equals 5 miles to the hour.

X^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3<br> ————————————<br> X^3+y^3

Hoochie [10]

To factor this fraction, you have be be aware of two special factoring formula:
a^3<span> + </span>b^3<span> = (</span>a<span> + </span>b)(a^2<span> – </span>ab<span> + </span>b^2<span>)

</span><span>(a+b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

You can see the top part in this case is (x+y)^3, and the bottom (denominator) can be factor into (x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)
we can cancel (x+y), so what we have left is (x+y)^2/(x^2-xy+y^2)
or (x^2+2xy+y^2)/(x^2-xy+y^2)

The Slow Ball Challenge or The Fast Ball Challenge.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 7$

$P(Hit) = 80\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Fast Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 3$

$P(Hit) = 70\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 7$ --- pitches

$x = 7$ --- all hits

$p = 80\% = 0.80$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

$P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(7) =0.2097152$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.2097152$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152$

$P(Lose) = 0.7902848$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 3$ --- pitches

$x = 3$ --- all hits

$p = 70\% = 0.70$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(3) =0.343$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.343$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343$

$P(Lose) = 0.657$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$27.15$

So, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$ -- Slow ball

$Expected = \$27.15$ --- Fast ball

<em>The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.</em>
