Answer:

The exact probability = 0.0431

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A bag contain - Caramels= 12, mints= 12, bars of dark chocolates= 14

Marilyn picks three items from the bag without replacement.

Total number of items 12+12+14=36

Now, probability = favorable outcome / total no. of outcomes

Probability of picking a mint = $\frac{12}{36}=\frac{1}{3}$

After picking a mint there are :

caramels=10, mints=11, bars of chocolate=14

Total items in the bag=35

Probability of picking another mint = $\frac{11}{35}$

now, caramels=10, mints=10, bars of chocolate=14

Total items in the bag=34

Probability of picking a bar of dark chocolate = $\frac{14}{34}=\frac{7}{17}$

The exact probability of picking the items:

$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{11}{35}\times\frac{7}{17}$

$=\frac{77}{1785}$

$=0.0431$

Therefore, the exact probability = 0.0431

10+12+14 = 36

12/36 x 11/35 x 14/34 = 11/255

The average human heart beats 1.15 \cdot 10^51.15⋅10 5 1, point, 15, dot, 10, start superscript, 5, end superscript times per da

andriy [413]

Answer:

$4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the average human heart beats $1.15\cdot 10^{5}$ times per day and there are $3.65\cdot 10^{2}$ days in one year.

To find number of heart beats in one year we will multiply number of heart beats in one day by number of days in one year.

$1.15\cdot 10^{5}\times 3.65\cdot 10^{2}$

Now we will solve this problem using exponent properties.

$1.15 \times 3.65\cdot 10^{2+5}$

$1.15 \times 3.65\cdot 10^{7}$

$4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$

Our answer is in scientific notation we can represent it in standard form as $4.1975\cdot 10^{7}=4.1975*10000000=41975000$ times.

Therefore, average human heart beats in one year $4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$ or 41975000 times.

A survey of 100 people asked if they have a dog or a cat. The answers were: 56 people answered yes for dog and 51 people answere

den301095 [7]

Answer: The maximum number of people who could answer yes for both cat and dog is 7.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a survey of 100 people asked if they have a dog or a cat.

Out of those 100 people, 56 people answered yes for dog and 51 people answered yes for cat. Some people may own neither and some people may own both animals.

We are to find the maximum number of people that could answer yes for both cat and dog.

Let A and B represents the set of people that answered Yes for dog and Yes for cat respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$n(A)=56,~~n(B)=51.$

From Set Theory, we have

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow n(A\cup B)=56+51-n(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow n(A\cup B)=107-n(A\cap B)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since the total number of people is 100, so we get

$n(A\cup B)\geq 100.$

Therefore, from equation (i), we get

$107-n(A\cap B)\geq 100\\\\\Rightarrow n(A\cap B)\leq 107-100\\\\\Rightarrow n(A\cap B)\leq 7.$

Thus, the maximum number of people who could answer yes for both cat and dog is 7.

I’m really confused please help

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(2). <em>b - (a + c)i </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

$i^{7}$ = [( i )²]³ × i = ( - 1)³ i = - i

$i^{16}$ = $((i)^2)^{8} = ( - 1)^{8} = 1$

$((i)^2)^{10}$ × i = i

a(- i ) + b( 1 ) - c( i ) = - ai + b - ci = <em>b - (a + c)i</em>
