Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Peter hits
Mary hits
Required
The probability that Mary wins
From the question, we understand that Peter throws the first.
If Mary is to win, then Peter has to lose his throw
Using the complement rule, the probability that Peter misses is:
So, the probability that Mary wins is:
This gives:
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
Distribute the 4 into the parenthesis by multiplying the numbers by 4.
New expression is:
24m-28
Answer:
You are differentiating with respect to x
with the formula X^n = nX^n-1
dy/dx= 12x2 - 24x + 14
