Whats 16/40 as a mixed fraction?

In Leakwater township, there are two plumbers. On a particular day three Leakwater residents call village plumbers independently

Marianna [84]

Answer:

25% probability that all three residents will choose the same plumbe

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the first plumbe, or they choose the second. The plumbers are chosen 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.

Each resident randomly chooses one of the two plumbers.

This means that $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Three residents:

This means that $n = 3$

What is the probability that all three residents will choose the same plumb

This is P(X = 0)(all choose the second pumble) or P(X = 3)(all choose the first pumble). So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.125$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125$

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 3) = 2*0.125 = 0.25$

25% probability that all three residents will choose the same plumbe

Use the Distributive Property to write an expression that is<br> equivalent to 4(y - 3).

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

4y-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a sum (or difference) by a factor, each summand (or minuend and subtrahend) is multiplied by this factor and the resulting products are added (or subtracted).

If the operation outside the parentheses (in this case, the multiplication) is commutative, then left-distributivity implies right-distributivity and vice versa, and one talks simply of distributivity.

Evaluate and simplify the following complex fraction.:6/7 ÷ 3/11

inna [77]

Answer:

3 7/50

Step-by-step explanation:

so you need them to become common denominators

a common multiple they both have would be is 77

6/7 becomes 66/77 and 3/11 becomes 21/77

now we divide

keep the 66/77 as is and flip 21/77 (keep, change, flip)

so now our equation looks like this: 66/77 x 77/21

and your answer is 3.14

but as a fraction it is 157/50 and to simplified it would be 3 7/50 (mixed fraction)

Can someone help me with my homework please

vichka [17]

Now you can see its pretty simple, its 128 but the way i got it is first you double 8 which makes 16 right then double 16 and you can see you got 32 then double 32 which makes 64 so next what you have to do is double 64 Obiously so you just double those numbers to get 128....Get it?
