The weight of 10 identical samples of a substance is 0.001 pound. What is the weight of 10,000 samples?

1 answer:

5 0

You could solve using a proportion. 10/.001 is equal to 10,000/x (x=unknown). Then you would cross multiply then solve for x. Your answer is 1.

Suppose the roots of the polynomial $x^2 - mx + n$ are positive prime integers (not necessarily distinct). Given that $m < 20

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>18</em> values for n are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic polynomial:

$x^2 - mx + n$

such that:

Roots are positive prime integers and

$m < 20$

To find:

How many possible values of $n$ are there ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the sum and product of a quadratic equation.

If the quadratic equation is:

$Ax^{2} +Bx+C$

and the roots are: $\alpha$ and $\beta$

Then sum of roots, $\alpha+\beta = -\frac{B}{A}$

Product of roots, $\alpha \beta = \frac{C}{A}$

Comparing the given equation with standard equation, we get:

A = 1, B = -m and C = n

Sum of roots, $\alpha+\beta = -\frac{-m}{1} = m$

Product of roots, $\alpha \beta = \frac{n}{1} = n$

We are given that $m$

$\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive prime integers such that their sum is less than 20.

Let us have a look at some of the positive prime integers:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, 29, .....

Now, we have to choose two such prime integers from above list such that their sum is less than 20 and the roots can be repetitive as well.

So, possible combinations and possible value of $n (= \alpha \times \beta)$ are:

$1.\ 2, 2\Rightarrow n = 2\times 2 = 4\\2.\ 2, 3 \Rightarrow n = 6\\3.\ 2, 5 \Rightarrow n = 10\\4.\ 2, 7\Rightarrow n = 14\\5.\ 2, 11 \Rightarrow n = 22\\6.\ 2, 13 \Rightarrow n = 26\\7.\ 2, 17 \Rightarrow n = 34\\8.\ 3, 3\Rightarrow n = 3\times 3 = 9\\9.\ 3, 5 \Rightarrow n = 15\\10.\ 3, 7 \Rightarrow n = 21\\$

$11.\ 3, 11\Rightarrow n = 33\\12.\ 3, 13 \Rightarrow n = 39\\13.\ 5, 5 \Rightarrow n = 25\\14.\ 5, 7 \Rightarrow n = 35\\15.\ 5, 11 \Rightarrow n = 55\\16.\ 5, 13 \Rightarrow n = 65\\17.\ 7, 7 \Rightarrow n = 49\\18.\ 7, 11 \Rightarrow n = 77$

So,as shown above <em>18 values for n are possible.</em>

) The manager of a local Gap store estimates that on average the probability of a customer entering the store and will purchase

xeze [42]

Answer: 1. 0.0256

2. 0.4096

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula , to find the probability of getting x successes:

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , where n= Total number of trials

p= Probability of getting success in each trial.

Let x be the number of customers will make purchase.

As per given , we have

p= 0.20

n= 4

1. The probability that 3 of the next 4 customers will make a purchase will be:-

$P(x=3)=^4C_3(0.20)^3(1-0.20)^{4-3}$

$P(x=3)=(4)(0.20)^3(0.80)^{1}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_{n-1}=n]$

$P(x=3)=(4)(0.008)(0.80)=0.0256$

Hence, the probability that 3 of the next 4 customers will make a purchase = 0.0256

2. The probability that none of the next 4 customers will make a purchase will be :

$P(x=0)=^4C_0(0.20)^0(1-0.20)^{4-0}$

$P(x=0)=(1)(0.80)^{4}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_{0}=1]$

$P(x=0)=0.4096$

Hence, the probability that none of the next 4 customers will make a purchase= 0.4096

katie collets stamp she has stamps from canada, United Staes,ands Rest of the world in a ratio of 1:1.2:1.5 she has 135 stamps f

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

90 stamps from Canada, 108 stamps from the United States, and 135 stamps from the Rest of the World

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a problem of proportion we can use the Rule of three to solve this. We do this by multiplying the diagonal available values and dividing by the third value in order to get the missing variable, which in this case would be the number of stamps in the other country. Like so...

1.5 <=====> 135 stamps

1.2 <=====> x stamps (United States)

(1.2 * 135) / 1.5 = 108 stamps (United States)

1.5 <=====> 135 stamps

1 <=====> x stamps (Canada)

(1 * 135) / 1.5 = 90 stamps (Canada)

Finally, we can see that Katie had 90 stamps from Canada, 108 stamps from the United States, and 135 stamps from the Rest of the World. All creating a ratio or 1:1.2:1.5
