Milton makes a trail mix for his hiking group. He mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 ounces of raisins, 12 ounces of walnuts, and

10 ounces of chocolate chips. If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group, how many ounces of trail mix does each hiker receive?

Answer:

7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Milton makes a trail mix for his hiking group. He mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 ounces of raisins, 12 ounces of walnuts, and 10 ounces of chocolate chips.

If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group.

Now, to find the ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Pound of peanuts = $1\frac{1}{4}.$

Now, using conversion factor convert pound into ounces:

1 pounds = 16 ounces.

$\frac{5}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{5}{4} \times 16$ = $20\ ounces.$

Ounces of peanuts = 20.

Ounces of raisins = 14.

Ounces of walnuts = 12.

Ounces of chocolate chips = 10.

Now, we add all the ounces of peanuts, raisins, walnuts and chocolate chips to get the trail mix:

$20+14+12+10\\\\=56\ ounces.$

<u><em>Total ounces of trail mix = 56.</em></u>

<u><em>Total number of hikers = 8.</em></u>

As given, Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers.

So, to get the trail mix each hiker receive we divide total number of hikers by total ounces of trail mix:

$56\div 8$

$=7\ ounces.$

Therefore, 7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

Solve the proportion. s+1/4=4/8

Murrr4er [49]

<span>5*s-(4*s)-(1/2) = -1/4-(4/8) // + -1/4-(4/8)

5*s-(4*s)-(1/2)-(-1/4)+4/8 = 0

5*s-4*s-1/2+1/4+4/8 = 0

s+1/4 = 0 // - 1/4

s = -1/4

s = -1/4

What is the volume of the cylinder?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

B. 2010.62 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

V = πr²h . . . . . where r is the radius and h is the height

Filling in the numbers and doing the arithmetic, we get ...

V = π(8 ft)²(10 ft) = 640π ft³ ≈ 2010.6193 ft³ ≈ 2010.62 ft³

The volume of the cylinder is about 2010.62 ft³.
