Answer:

a) 2/44 = 0.045

b) 9/22 = 0.409

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability the first can is diet soda is 3/12.

The probability the second can is diet soda is 2/11.

The probability of both is (3/12) (2/11) = 2/44 ≈ 0.045.

Alternatively, you can use combinations:

₃C₂ × ₉C₀ / (₁₂C₂) = 2/44

b) If the first can is diet soda, and the second can isn't, the probability is (3/12) (9/11) = 9/44.

If the first can isn't diet soda, and the second can is, the probability is (9/12) (3/11) = 9/44.

The total probability is 9/44 + 9/44 = 9/22 ≈ 0.409.

Alternatively, using combinations:

₃C₁ × ₉C₁ / (₁₂C₂) = 9/22

Simplify the expression by combining like terms if possible. If not possible select already simplified. 4a^2+2a+4a^2-5
vichka [17]
So the expression is: 4 a^{2} + 2a + 4 a^{2} - 5

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two 4 a^{2}. 4 a^{2} + 4 a^{2} = 8 a^{2} The other terms can't be combined.

Your final answer should be 8 a^{2} +2a-5.

Lily bought 25.29 pounds of grapefruit. The lightest grapefruit weighed 1.4 pounds. The heaviest grapefruit weighed 1.6 pounds.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that the lightest is 1.4 and the heaviest is 1.6, this implies that ALL the fruit must weigh between 1.4 and 1.6.

This also implies that the average weight of the fruit must also be between 1.4 lb and 1.6 lb.

recall that : average weight = total weight / number of fruit

we are given than total weight = 25.29 lb, so

average weight = 25.29 / number of fruit

Just go down the choices and test which choice gives an average weight between 1.4 and 1.6 lbs.

Choice A: number of fruit = 19

average = 25.29 / 19 = 1.33  (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice B: number of fruit = 17

average = 25.29 / 17 =1.49   (within range , possible answer)

Choice C: number of fruit = 10

average = 25.29 / 10 = 2.529 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice D: number of fruit = 50

average = 25.29 / 50 = 0.5058  (outside of range, not the answer)

From the above, we can see that only B gives an average between 1.4 and 1.6 lb.

60.April would like to invest $200 in the bank for one year. Three banks all have a nominal APR of 1.5%, but compound the intere
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

$203.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bank in question compounds interest continuously, the following equation should be used to determine the final balance (B) in April's account:

B= 200*e^{i*t}

Where "e" is a mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183, "i" is the interest rate (1.5%) and "t" is the investment time in years (1):

B= 200*e^{0.015*1}

B= 203.02

April's balance would be $203.02 after one year.
