Captain Sparrow and his pirate crew dug up several gold coins. They are dividing the coins amongst themselves so that each perso

n gets the same number of coins. If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins. However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins. How many coins did they dig up?

Answer: 150 coins

Step-by-step explanation: let the number of captain Sparrow and the crew = c

The number of gold = g

This mean each person will get g/c

If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins means

g/(c - 4) = g/ c+ 10

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins.

(g - 50)/c = g/c - 5

g - 50 = g - 5c

5c = 50

c = 10

Substitute c in equation 1

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

10g = (10 - 4)(g + 10×10)

10g = 6× (g + 100)

10g = 6g + 600

4g = 600

g = 150 gold coin.

Therefore they dig up 150 gold coin

Six different colored dice are rolled. Of interest is the number of dice that show a one. In words, define the random variable X
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Six dice (each of a different color) are rolled. Since the number of times the 6 dice were rolled isn't stated, take it to be 1.

Hence, 6 dice are rolled at once for this experiment.

Of interest is the number of dice that show a "one". In other words, the variable in question (X) is:

The number of dots that show on the upward face of the rolled dice.

The values that X may take on are:

1  2  3  4  5  6

On average, how many dice would you expect to show a one?

One die.

How is this gotten? By finding the probability that a one or one dot appears when the 6 dice are rolled at once. Since there are 6 dice in number, and each die has the same 6 faces containing dots, the probability of getting a one is 1/6. In this case, one out of 6 dice is expected to show one dot.

Find the probability that all six dice show a dot in just one toss.

Logically, this probability is going to be very small! It is almost impossible for all 6 dice to land on the same face in just a single toss. In other words, expect many decimal places in the probability figure.

1/6 divided by 6  = 0.167/6  = 0.028 approximated to three decimal places.

This would also represent the probability that 2 dots, 3 dots, or any other number of dots appears on all dice in one toss!

Is it more likely (in this experiment) that 3 or 4 dice will show a one (a single dot)?

The answer is yes! It is more likely that 3 or 4 dice (instead of all 6) will show a one or will show the same number of dots.

Kudos!

Write the equation of a line, in slope intercept form, that has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (2, 4).
Illusion [34]

Start with the simplest equation of a straight line:  y = mx + b.

Subst. 1 for m, 2 for x and 4 for y.  Then, 4 = 1(2) + b, or b = 2.

In slope-intercept form, the equation of this line is y = x + 2.

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIST!

Every single one of those polynomials factors.  When factored, your expression looks like this: \frac{(3x-7)(x+3)}{x+3)(x-2)} * \frac{(2x+7)(x+9)}{(3x-7)(2x+7)}.  When you cancel the like factors out, what you're left with is this: \frac{1x+9}{1x-2}.  That means that b = 9, c = 1, and d = -2
