Answer:
1 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- First observe that the fate of the last person is determined the moment either the first or the last seat is selected! This is because the last person will either get the first seat or the last seat. Any other seat will necessarily be taken by the time the last guy gets to 'choose'.
- Since at each choice step, the first or last is equally probable to be taken, the last person will get either the first or last with equal probability: 1/2
- Armed with the key observation, we see that the event that the last person's correct seat is free, is exactly the same as the event that the first person's seat was taken before the last person's seat.
- Well, each person had to make a random choice, was equally likely to choose the first person's seat or the last person's seat - the random chooser exhibits absolutely no preference towards a particular seat. This means that the probability that one seat is taken before the other must be 1/2
Answer:
2kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sum of the other 2 bricks be R. Given that the heaviest brick weighs 2/3 times as much as the other 2 bricks in total, then the weight of the heaviest brick H in terms of the weight of the other 2 will be
H = 2/3 * R
= 2R/3
Given that the 3 bricks weigh 5kg in total then,
2R/3 + R = 5
Multiply through the equation by 3
2R + 3R = 15
5R = 15
Divide both sides by 5
R = 15/5
= 3
The weight of the heaviest brick is 2R/3. Since R = 3, the heaviest block weighs
= 2 * 3/3
= 2kg
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
and 
denote the two endpoints.
The formula for the midpoint of these two points would be:
.
(Similar to taking the average of each coordinate.)
In this question, it is given that 
whereas 
. Substitute these two values into the expression for the coordinate of the midpoint:
-coordinate of the midpoint: 
.
-coordinate of the midpoint: 
.
Solve these two equations for 
and 
: 
whereas 
.
Hence, the coordinate of the other point would be .
What you do is 14 times 6 and then you have your answer
Answer:
She has 23 nickels and 5 dimes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the number of nickles and d = the number of dimes.
The number of each = 28. Set up the equation:
n + d = 28
Solve for n:
n = 28 - d
The total amount is $1.65 or 165 cents:
5n + 10d = 165
Substitute:
5(28 - d) + 10d = 165
140 - 5d + 10d = 165
140 + 5d = 165
5d = 165 - 140
5d = 25
d = 5, the number of dimes.
Solve for n:
n = 28 - d
n = 28 - 5 = 23, the number of nickles.
Proof:
5n + 10d = 165
5(23) + 10(5) = 165
115 + 50 = 165
165 = 165
