Answer:

150 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

138lb/23 gal = x/25 gal

cross multiply and solve for x

23x = 138·25

x = 3450/23

x = 150 lb

Assume that a company hires employees on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays with equal likelihood.a. If two different employees ar
horsena [70]

Answer:

P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

P(B) = \frac{1}{3}

P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Only employees are hired during the first 3 days of the week with equal probability.

2 employees are selected at random.

So:

A. The probability that an employee has been hired on a Monday is:

P(M) = \frac{1}{3}.

If we call P(A) the probability that 2 employees have been hired on a Monday, then:

P(A) =P(M\ and\ M)\\\\P(A)=( \frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})\\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

B. We now look for the probability that two selected employees have been hired on the same day of the week.

The probability that both are hired on a Monday, for example, we know is P(A) = \frac{1}{9}. We also know that the probability of being hired on a Monday is equal to the probability of being hired on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday. But if both were hired on the same day, then it could be a Monday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

So

P(B) = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9}\\\\P(B) = \frac{1}{3}.

C. If the probability that two people have been hired on a specific day of the week is 3(\frac{1}{3}) ^ 2, then the probability that 7 people have been hired on the same day is:

P(C) = (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7\\\\P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

D. The probability is \frac{1}{729}. This number is quite close to zero. Therefore it is an unlikely bastate event.

How can you determine the type of the triangle based on the lengths of the sides in a triangle?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

You can determine the type of triangle using the following facts related to the converse of the pythag theorem

if a^2 + b^2 > c^2, then it is an obtuse triangle

if a^2+b^2<c^2, then it is an acute triangle

finally, if a^2+b^2=c^2, then it is a right triangle

<u><em>NOTE THAT C ALWAYS EQUALS THE LONGEST LENGTH OF THE TRIANGLE!!!</em></u>
