To multiply a mixed fraction by a whole number here is an example:
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction suppose we had
5 2/6 convert it into a improper fraction which is 32/6 then the the whole number that you are going to multiply it by suppose we had the number 3 you would then have to make 3 the whole number into a fraction 3/1 then you would multiply 32/6 by 3/1 and you would get 96/6 if it were simplified it would be 16/3
Hope i helped :))

Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 51% chan

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) 0.3270 = 32.70% probability that Christine fails the course

b) 0.3917 = 39.17% probability that she had found someone to help

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

61% probability that Christine find a coach.

100 - 61 = 39% probability that Christine does not find a coach.

With a coach, a 21% probability of failing.

Without a coach, a 51% probability of failing.

a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course?

21% of 61%(finds a tutor) plus 51% of 39%(does not find a tutor). So

P = 0.21*0.61 + 0.51*0.39 = 0.327.

0.327 = 32.7% probability that Christine fails the course

b. Christine ends up failing the course. What is the probability that she had found someone to help?

This can be formulated by the Bayes formula:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}$

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening given that A happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening given that B happened.

In this question.

P(B|A) is the probability of finding a tutor given that she failed.

P(B) is the probability of finding a tutor. So P(B) = 0.61.

P(A|B) is the probability of failing when finding a tutor. So P(A|B) = 0.21

P(A) is the probability of failing. So P(A) = 0.327.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.61*0.21}{0.327} = 0.3917$

0.3917 = 39.17% probability that she had found someone to help

A container manufacturer plans to make rectangular boxes whose bottom and top measure x by 4x. The container must contain 12ft^3

zheka24 [161]

The height of the container should be equal to 2.57 cm, so as to minimize cost.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

First of all, we would determine the volume of the rectangular container by using this formula:

Volume = l × w × h

Where:

l represents the length.

w represents the width.

h represents the height.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Volume = x × 4x × h

Volume = 4x²h

At a volume of 12 ft³, we have:

12 = 4x²h

h = 12/4x²

h = 3/x²

For the total area of top and bottom, we have:

Area = (x × 4x) + (x × 4x)

Area = 4x² + 4x²

Area = 8x² sq. units.

Thus, the cost of top and bottom is given by:

Cost = 8x² × 1.50

Cost = $12x²

For the total area of all four sides, we have:

Area = (x × h) + (x × h) + (4x × h) + (4x × h)

Area = xh + xh + 4xh + 4xh

Area = 10xh sq. units.

Thus, the cost of all four sides is given by:

Cost = 10xh × 4.50

Cost = $45xh.

Also, the cost function would be given by:

C(x) = 12x² + 10xh

C(x) = 12x² + 10x(3/x²)

C(x) = 12x² + 30/x

Taking the first derivative, we have:

dC/dx = 24x - 30/x²

24x = 30/x²

24x³ = 30

x³ = 30/24

x = 1.08

Therefore, the height will be:

h = 3/x²

h = 3/1.08²

h = 3/1.1664

Height, h = 2.57 cm.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: Experimental Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical Probability is the theory behind probability. Experimental (empirical) probability is probability calculated during experiments, direct observation, experience, or practice. The empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.
