A student who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, a and

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kitty [74]3 years ago
4 0
Say she chooses topic A. She needs at least one book to arrive on time. The probability that no books arrive on time is 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01 so the probability that at least one book arrives on time is 1 - 0.01 = 0.99.
Say she chooses topic B. She needs at least two books to arrive on time. The probability of no books arriving on time is 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.0001. The probability of exactly one book arriving on time is 4 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.9 = 0.0036 (binomial probability distribution formula - the 4 comes from 4C1). So the probability of her not getting enough books is 0.0001 + 0.0036 = 0.0037 and the probability she does get the books she needs on time is 1 - 0.0037 = 0.9963.
So she should choose topic B.

At a drive through restaurant Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks. Alex’s family ordered m medium drinks and
sertanlavr [38]

<u>Answer: </u>

Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.

Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.

Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.

Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x

And assume cost of one medium drink = y

And assume cost of one large drink = z

So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1 \times x + m \times y

= x + my

And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink

= m x y + 1 x z

=my + z

So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z

Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

108, 108, 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent and if the measure of 1 of the angles is 72 degrees and straight lines equal 180 degrees you have to subtract 72 from 180 which equals 108.

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we
Aliun [14]

Answer: $48

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.

Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:

x + (6% of x) = $50.88

x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88

x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88

x + 0.06x = $50.88

1.06x = $50.88

When then divide by the coefficient of x

1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06

x = $48

The price before the tax is $48
