Answer:

The probability is 53.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A model builder has 30 pieces of balsa wood in a box.

4 pieces are 15 inches long.

10 pieces are 12 inches long.

Says rest are 8 inches. So, rest are (30-14=16)

16 pieces are 8 inches long.

Now, we have to tell the probability the builder will pull an 8-inch piece from the box without looking.

The probability is given by=

\frac{number of possible outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

Hence, the probability is : \frac{16}{30} or \frac{8}{15}

If we want this in percentage this is 53.33%.

There is about a 16.5% chance to pull an 8-inch piece, this is theoretical probability though. <span />

Solving inequalities for word problems:
zepelin [54]

For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the unknown number

We algebraically rewrite the given expression:

Twice a number plus 10, is represented as:2x + 10

Three times that number less 4. is represented as:

3x-4

Thus, the complete expression is:

2x + 10> 3x-4

Subtracting 3x from both sides of the inequality:

2x-3x + 10> -4\\-x + 10> -4

Subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality:

-x> -4-10

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:

-x> -14

We multiply by -1 on both sides, taking into account that the sense of inequality changes:

x

The solution is given by all values of "x" less than 14.

Answer:

x

How to price that line segment CD bisects line segment AB.
Schach [20]
The congruence of the 2 triangles can be proved, angle C is common , CD is common, CA = CB, THEN the 2 triangles are congruent, the 2 triangles are equal so AD = DB hence CD bisects AB.

AND just that a attitude does not divides a line into equal half's, in an obtuse angle triangle the altitude is outside, only the median can divide a line into 2 equal half's or a triangle

hope this helps if this did Pls like and have any doubts ask me in the comments section, feel free

1. Dole Pineapple Inc. is concerned that the 16-ounce can of sliced pineapple is being overfilled. Assume the standard deviation
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Claim : The mean weight is greater than 16 ounces

H_0:\mu = 16 \\H_a:\mu >16

x = 16.05

n = 50

\sigma = 0.03

Since n > 30 and population standard deviation is given

So, we will use z test

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Substitute the values

z=\frac{16.05-16}{\frac{0.03}{\sqrt{50}}}

z=11.7851

Critical value at 0.05 significance level is 1.645

z statistic > critical value

So, we reject the null hypothesis

So, we can conclude that the mean weight is greater than 16 ounces .
