Divide the total weight (2.1 * 10^3 lbs.) by the total quantity of things (9.6 * 10^5) to get the lbs./paperclip.

Then, multiply that number by 16 to get ounces/paperclip.

Answer:

The approximate weight of each paper clip is 0.035 ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A container at a paper clip factory holds 2.1*10^3 pounds of paper clips.

= $2.1\times1000=2100$ pounds

There are 9.6*10^5 paper clips in the container.

= $9.6\times100000=960000$

Now we get that 960000 paper clips weigh 2100 pounds.

So, each paper clip will weigh = $\frac{2100}{960000}$ = 0.0021875 pounds

And 1 pound = 16 ounces

0.0021875 pounds = $16\times0.0021875$ = 0.035 ounce

Hence, the approximate weight of each paper clip is 0.035 ounce.

For each of the following binomial random variables, specify n and p. (a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) $n = 50, p = \frac{1}{6}$

b) $n = 16, p = \frac{1}{100}$

c) $n = 26, p = 0.25, \mu = 6.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $p$ is the probability of X happening.

(a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5 is rolled

The die is rolled 50 times, so $n = 50$ .

Each roll can have 6 outcomes. So the probability that 5 is rolled is $p = \frac{1}{6}$

(b) A company puts a game card in each box of cereal and 1/100 of them are winners. You buy sixteen boxes of cereal, and X = number of times you win.

You buy 16 boxes of cereal, so $n = 16$ .

1 of 100 are winners. So $p = \frac{1}{100}$ .

(c) Jack likes to play computer solitaire and wins about 25% of the time. X = number of games he wins out of his next 26 games.

He plays 26 games, so $n = 26$ .

He wins 25% of the time, so $p = 0.25$

We have that $\mu = np$ . So $\mu = 26*0.25 = 6.5$

16 POINTS HELP ASAP plzzzzzzzzz

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

You are comparing irrational numbers.

By inspection, i.e. at first sight you can only compare $\sqrt{3} \text{ }and\text{ } 2\sqrt{3}$ because they have the same radicand.

You can order: $\sqrt{3}$

You can introduce the 2 inside the radical by squaring it:

$2\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{2^2\times3}=\sqrt{12}$

Since 5 is between 3 and 12, you can order:

$\sqrt{3}$

Which is:

$\sqrt{3}$

You must know that π ≈ 3.14.

5 is less than 9 and the square root of 9 is 3; hence, $\sqrt{5}$ and $\sqrt{5}$

Now you must determine whether π is less than or greater than $\sqrt{12}$

Using a calculator or probing numbers between 3 and 4 you get $\sqrt{12} \approx3.46$

Hence, the complete order is:

$\sqrt{3}$
