Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No. Of quarters n(Q)= 3

No. Of dimes n(D) = 5

No. Of nickels n(N) = 2

Total T = 3+5+2 = 10

Prob(D) = n(D)/T = 5/10 = 1/2

Now there are 9 left since it is not replaced back

Prob(Q) = 3/9 = 1/3

Prob(D and Q) = 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6

1st question: Reuben received 80 dollars. Write a signed number to represent this change.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1) +80

2) -1520

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive Signed numbers are used in real world situations to indicate the increase. Examples include; increase in weight, deposit of money into an account, increase in income, profit, height above sea level, etc. They are all represented by positive signed numbers.

Whereas, negative signed numbers show decrease. Examples include; loss of weight, withdrawal of money from an account, loans, liabilities, losses, temperature below zero degrees, height below sea level.

1) We are told that Reuben received 80 dollars. Thus, it means he received an increase in the amount of money he already had. Thus, the signed number will be +80.

2) We are told that A car corporation produced 1520 fewer cars this month than last.

Thus, the signed number will be negative since there is a decrease in number of cars.

Thus, signed number = -1520

your local gas stations are having a price war during the past seven days they have lowered the price of regular gas by $0.2 eac

Serga [27]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let x denotes the number of days and y denotes the total change in gas price ( in dollars).

Given : During the past seven days the price of regular gas is decreased by $0.2 each day.

Rate of decrease =$0.2 per day

Then , Total change in gas price = Rate of decrease x Number of days

i.e. $y= 0.2 \times x$

i.e. $y=0.2x$ (1)

To find the total change in gas price in 7 days , we put x= 7 in (1) , we get

$y=0.2(7)=1.4$

Hence, the total change in gas price in 7 days = $1.4

Caroline is considering two video game rental plans. Plan A can be modeled with the equation C = 2n, and Plan B can be modeled w

meriva

Options

A. Caroline rents exactly 7 games each month.

B. Caroline rents exactly 6 games each month.

C. Caroline rents 6 or more games each month.

D. Caroline rents from 1 to 5 games each month.

Answer:

D. Caroline rents from 1 to 5 games each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Plan A:

$C = 2n$

Plan B:

$C = n + 6$

Required

Which options justifies A over B

The solution to this question is option (d).

In option d, n = 1,2,3,4,5

When any of the values of n is substituted in plan A and B, respectively; the cost of plan A is cheaper than plan B.

This is not so, for other options (A - C)

To show:

Substitute 1 for n in A and B

Plan A:

$C = 2n$ $= 2 * 1 = 2$

Plan B:

$C = n + 6$ $= 1 + 6 = 7$

Substitute 5 for n in A and B

Plan A:

$C = 2n$ $= 2 * 5 = 10$

Plan B:

$C = n + 6$ $= 5 + 6 = 11$

Illinois license plates used to consist of either three letters followed by three digits or two letters followed by four digits.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 is 0.000028 approximately.

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI is 0.002548 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Illinois license plates used to consist of either three letters followed by three digits or two letters followed by four digits.

Part (A)

Let A is the ways in which plates consist of three letters followed by three digits and B is the ways in which two letters followed by four digits.

Here repetition is allow. The number of alphabets are 26 and the number of distinct digits are 10.

The numbers of ways in which three letters followed by three digits can be chosen is: $26\times 26\times 26 \times 10 \times 10 \times10$

$26^3\times 10^3=17576000$

The numbers of ways in which two letters followed by four digits can be chosen is: $26\times 26\times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times10$

$26^2\times 10^4=6760000$

Hence, the total number of ways are 17576000 + 6760000 = 24336000

Randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 that means the first two letter can be any alphabets but the rest of the digit should be 2222.

Thus, the total number of ways that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 number are: $26^2=676$

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 is:

$\frac{676}{24336000} \approx 0.000028$

Part (B)

The number of ways in which chosen plate contains the sub-string HI:

If three letters followed by three digits plate contains the sub-string HI, then the number of possible ways are:

$26\times 1\times10^3+1\times 26\times10^3$

If two letters followed by four digits plate contains the sub-string HI, then the number of possible ways are:

$1\times 10^4$

Thus, the total number of ways that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI are:

$1\times 10^4+26\times 1\times10^3+1\times 26\times10^3$

$62000$

From part (A) we know that the total number of ways to chose a number plate is 24336000.

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI is:

$\frac{62000}{24336000} \approx 0.002548$

Which of these situations can be modeled by an exponential function?

Gwar [14]

Answer:

B) A herd of lions whose numbers triple every decade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situations that can be modeled by exponential functions:

A situation can be modeled by exponential functions when the change is a multiplication or a division, not a sum or subtractions.

In this question:

In option A, C and D the measures are a sum or subtractions, as the rate of change is always the same. So it rests option B as the answer, as tripling is multiplying by 3.
