The cafeteria serves pizza every 10 days and corn every 4 days. If they are serving pizza and corn today, in how many days will

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Well it would be 100 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they had pizza every ten days and if you add 5 days a week that's 50 days they sell pizza. If your talking corn they sell it every 4 days times 5 days a week that's 20 days of corn. Then you do 50 x 20 and then you get 100 days of pizza and corn, so it would be 100 days before they sell pizza and corn together again!

Which fraction is closest to 1/2? A number line from negative 1 to 1 in halves. 1/6 3/8 3/4 ‐1/2

Arturiano [62]

Answer: 3/8

because 3/8 is .375
And 3/4 is .75
And 1/6 is .1666

1/2 is .50
3/8 is closest

Miranda found 4 pieces of an ancient ceramic bowl.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

There are many variables to determine if you have all the complete pieces some are the following:

1.- bowl size

2.- the way it broke

3.- the size of the pieces

4.- if the pieces can fit together

5.- if the bowl paint has the same figures

This is important to determine, since if they do not have these requirements, you can find different pieces of different bowls, which will make the pieces never coincide with each other.

Ice cream usually comes in 1.5-quart boxes (48 fluid ounces), and ice cream scoops hold about 2 ounces. However, there is some v

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

(a) The expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream served at the party are 54 ounces and 1.25 ounces respectively.

(b) The expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop are 46 ounces and 1.031 ounces respectively.

(c) Because the variance of each variable is dependent on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X and Y are defined as follows:

X = amount of ice cream in the box

Y = amount of ice cream scooped out

The information provided is:

E (X) = 48

SD (X) = 1

V (X) = 1

E (Y) = 2

SD (Y) = 0.25

V (Y) = 0.0625

(a)

The total amount of ice-cream served at the party can be expressed as:

X + 3Y.

Compute the expected value of (X + 3Y) as follows:

$E(X+3Y)=E(X)+3E(Y)\\= 48+(3\times2)\\=48+6\\=54$

Compute the variance of (X + 3Y) as follows:

$V(X+3Y) = V (X)+3^{2}V(Y)+2\times 3Cov (X,Y)\\=1+(9\times0.0625)+0\\=1.5625$

Then the standard deviation of (X + 3Y) is:

$SD(X + 3Y) =\sqrt{V(X + 3Y)}\\\sqrt{1.5625}\\=1.25$

Thus, the expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream served at the party are 54 ounces and 1.25 ounces respectively.

(b)

The amount of ice-cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop is represented as follows:

X - Y.

Compute the expected value of (X - Y) as follows:

$E(X-Y)=E(X)-E(Y)\\=48-2\\=46$

Compute the variance of (X - Y) as follows:

$V(X - Y) =V(X)+V(Y)-2Cov(X,Y)\\=1+0.0625-0\\=1.0625$

Then the standard deviation of (X - Y) is:

$SD(X-Y) =\sqrt{V(X -Y)}\\\sqrt{1.0625}\\=1.031$

Thus, the expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop are 46 ounces and 1.031 ounces respectively.

(c)

The variance of the sum or difference of two variables is computed by adding the individual variances. This is because the variance of each variable is dependent on the others.
