Steven flips a coin several times to see how often heads occurs. Is this an experimental or theoretical probability?

Mrrafil [7]

$x^2+13x=-42\ \ \ |+42\\\\x^2+13x+42=0\\\\x^2+6x+7x+42=0\\\\x(x+6)+7(x+6)=0\\\\(x+6)(x+7)=0\iff x+6=0\ \vee\ x+7=0\\\\x=-6\ \vee\ x=-7$

Anaswer: <span>a. x = -6 or x = -7</span>

8.46 If 100 is decreased by a% and the result is decreased by b%, then what is the total percent decrease (in terms of a and b)?

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The total percent decrease is $a+b-\frac{a b}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a word problem
We are asked to find the total percentage decrease
We can do this in two steps

Step 1: Finding the two percentage decrease

Step 2: Finding their difference

Step 1 of 2

Let the decrease by a% be 100-a

Then b% decrease is

$\begin{aligned}\frac{b}{100} \times(100-a) &=\frac{100 b-a b}{100} \\\frac{100 b}{100}-\frac{a b}{100} &=b-\frac{a b}{100}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

The percentage difference between the two percentages is,

$\begin{aligned}&(100-a)-\left(b-\frac{a b}{100}\right)=100-a-b+\frac{a b}{100} \\&100-a-b+\frac{a b}{100}=100-\left(a+b-\frac{a b}{100}\right)\end{aligned}$

Since 100 is the total percent $a+b-\frac{a b}{100}$ is the percentage decrease.

A waffle cone has a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within

Nata [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cone, we multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.

First, we find the area of the base, which is a circle. To find a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (or 3.14 in our case).

Radius is half of the diameter.

3/2=1.5

We square this.

1.5²=2.25

We multiply by 3.14

2.25×3.14=7.065

Now, we multiply this base area by the height.

7.065×7=49.455

We divide by 3.

49.455/3=16.485

Therefore, if we round this, our answer is 16.49 in³.

Now you can find the volume of a cone! Have a wonderful day! :D

kvv77 [185]

Answer: $\frac{1}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are

4 country music CD

1 rock and roll CD

2 rap CD

3 Tejano CD

$\text{Probability that Jerry randomly select a Tejano CD and then a rap CD from his case}=\text{Probability of selecting a Tejano CD}\times \text{Probability of selecting a rap CD}$
