Answer:

  • first shift: 13,750 bulbs
  • second shift: 2500 bulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The production ratio is ...

  shift 1 : shift 2 = 5.5 : 1 = 11 : 2

so, the production on shift 1 as a ratio to the total is ...

  shift 1 : total = 11 : (11+2) = 11 : 13

The first shift produced ...

  (11/13)(16,250 bulbs) = 13,750 bulbs . . . . first shift

and the second shift produced ...

  (2/13)(16,250 bulbs) = 2,500 bulbs . . . . second shift

_____

Of course, once you have one of the numbers, you can also find the other by using the 5.5 factor or by subtracting from total production.

Answer:

x =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the figures are similar, we can use ratios to solve

x        2

---- = -----

4         8

Using cross products

8x = 2*4

8x = 8

Divide by 8

8x/8 = 8/8

x=1

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?
ivanzaharov [21]
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula. 
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C. 
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space. 
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.

In Janie's homeroom 54% of the students' families own a dog and 32% own a dog and a cat. What is the probability that a student'
pogonyaev

Answer:

51,111%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 45% have a dog but no cat.  While 23% have both a dog and a cat.

Then Pr(X has cat|X has dog) = Pr(X has dog and cat)/Pr(X has dog)

= Pr(X has dog and cat)/Pr(X has dog) = 0.23/0.45 = 0.51 ≈ 51,111%

The probability that a student’s family owns a cat if the family owns a dog is 51,111%
