 A is 264 and B is 257 because 785-778=7. so you add 7 to 785 and get 792 then divide by 3, to find candy A. <span>so you subtract 7 from 778 and get 771 then divide by 3, to find candy B. </span>

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett
valentinak56 [21]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is \frac{211}{243}, hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is \frac{232}{243}, hence:

(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}

\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

The quadratic equation 2x^2 + bx + 18 = 0 has a double root. Find all possible values of b.
Doss [256]
When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here 
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and 
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0 
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= &pm; sqrt(144)= &pm; 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots,  the possible values of b are &pm; 12.
