Answer:

a. 14 and 14= (-1)56+1(44)

b. 3 and 3= (-4)60+3(81)

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1: GCD is the highest common divisor for both numbers without reminder

a. GCD of 56 and 42 = 14

b GCD of 81 and 60 = 3

Case 2: Express GCD as a Linear combination.

a. GCD = 14 which is also the difference between 56 and 42

Therefore

14= (-1)56+1(44) expresses 14 as a linear combination of 56 and 44.

b. GCD=3, we need to look for a multiple of 60 and 81 that their differences would be 3

Therefore the multiples are:

For 60 = 240 (60×4)

For 81 = 243 (81×3)

3= (-4)60+3(81) expresses 3 as a linear combination of 81 and 60

Able, Ben and Cal each played a game able's score was six times ben's score, Cale score was a hird time of Able's score write do
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Abel to Ben: 6

Abel to Carl: 3

Ben to Carl: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we formulate the problem in equations:

Abel = 6 * Ben

Cale = Abel / 3

If Cale's score is Abel's score over 3, so Abel's score is 3 times Cale's score.

If Abel's score is 6 times Ben's score, and 3 times Cale's score, then Cale's score is 2 times Ben's score (so Ben's score is 0.5 times Cale's score)

So, the ratio between all scores are the following:

Abel to Ben: 6

Abel to Carl: 3

Ben to Carl: 0.5

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts. Find the probability t
torisob [31]

Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that p = 0.7

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.
