Answer:

The expected number of cards is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

'Expected value = Total number of trials × Probability of each trial'

Let C is the event of correct cards and C' is the event of incorrect cards.

Given,

Total number of cards = 12

Also, the correctness of the card is 9 times out of 12,

Thus, the number of correct cards,

n(C) = 9,

⇒ The number of incorrect cards,

n(C') = 12 - 9 = 3

Also, A card can be can be correct or incorrect,

Thus, The probability of correct card,

P(C)=\frac{1}{2}

And, the probability of incorrect card,

P(C')=\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the expected number of cards = expected number of correct card + expected number of incorrect card

= n(C) × P(C) + n(C') × P(C')

=9\times \frac{1}{2}+3\times \frac{1}{2}

=\frac{9}{2}+\frac{3}{2}

=\frac{12}{2}=6

Question 30 The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is pure fruit juice, and the second type
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 65% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 90% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 85% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 80 pints of a mixture that is 85% pure fruit juice?

Answer: Let x be the number of pints of the first fruit juice (i.e 65%) and y be the number of pints of the second fruit juice (i.e 90%).

Since the total number of pints to make the 85% pure fruit juice is 80, it can be represented using the equation:

x + y = 80                              .                  .                 .    1)

Also, x pints of the first juice = 0.65x, y pints of the second juice = 0.9y and 80 pints of the mixture to be produced = 80(0.85) = 68. Therefore:

0.65x + 0.9y = 68               .                 .                  .        2)

We have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously, first multiply equation 1 by 0.65 to get equation 3:

0.65x + 0.65y = 52            .                  .               .        3)

Subtract equation 3 from 2 and solve for y:

0.25y = 16

y = 16/0.25 = 64

y = 64 pints

Put y = 64 in equation 1:

x + 64 = 80

x = 80 - 64 = 16

x = 16 pints

Therefore 16 pints of the 65% pure fruit juice, and 64 pints of the 90% pure fruit juice is required to make 80 pints of 80% fruit juice.

the ratio of students at a school is 3 boys for every 4 girls. If there are 52 girls how many boys are in the school
vova2212 [387]
There are 39 boys. 
First you divide 4 into 52 because there are 3 boys for 4 girls. 
Then you take the quotient, 13, and multiply by 3.
