Ivan is getting ready for a long road trip. He wants to pack a few books from his collection of 5 novels and 7 collected short s

tories books. He asks his friend to select a book without showing. From the remaining books, Ivan then himself picks a random book, which turns out to be a novel. The third book that he randomly selects from the remaining ones is also a novel. Find the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip.

Answer:

The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of novels = 5

number of short stories = 7

total  number of books = 12

The probability that Ivan's friend pick's a novel = 5 / 12

The probability of Ivan's first pick to be a novel = 4 / 11

The probability of Ivan's second pick to be a novel = 3 /10

The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is given by;

= p(Ivan's friend pick) and P(Ivan's first pick) and P(Ivan's second pick);

= \frac{5}{12}*\frac{4}{11}*\frac{3}{10}\\\\   = \frac{1}{22}\\\\ = 0.0455

Therefore, the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455

1) Anna and Jason have summer jobs stuffing envelopes for two different companies. Anna earns $20 for every 400 envelopes she fi
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) i)

For Anna initially, she has $0 from making 0 envelopes. After making 400 envelopes she has $20. Let x represent the number of envelopes and y the earnings. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 0) and (400, 20). Using the equation of a line:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-0=\frac{20-0}{400-0}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{20} x

The table is:

x:   200     400       600     800     1000

y:    10        20          30        40       50

ii)

For Jason initially, he has $0 from making 0 envelopes. For every 250 envelopes he has $10. Let x represent the number of envelopes and y the earnings. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 0) and (250, 10). Using the equation of a line:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-0=\frac{10-0}{250-0}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{25} x

The table is:

x:   200     400       600     800     1000

y:    8         16           24        32       40

The graph is plotted using geogebra online graphing

b) From the table above we can see that Anna makes more stuffing than Jason.

c) Anna has a savings of $100. Hence this can be represented by the points (0, 100) and (250, 10). Using the equation of a line:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-100=\frac{20-0}{400-100}(x-0)\\\\y=\frac{1}{15} x+100

We can see from the graph that there is a y intercept at 100. That is the earnings starts from 100.

The equation of a line is given as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (initial value)

For the first graph, the slope is 1/20 and the initial value is 0 while for the second graph the slope is 1/15 and the initial value is 100

D) The line pass through (10, 10) and (100, 40), hence:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-10=\frac{40-10}{100-10}(x-10)\\\\y-10=\frac{1}{3} (x-10)\\\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}

A cone has a height 25 ft and a radius of 7 ft. Is a reasonable that the volume of this cone is 100 ft3? Why or why not?​
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius squared is 49 times π, which is roughly 3 means the area of the base is roughly 150 ft².

This means that one third of the height cannot be more than 100 / 150 = 2/3 of a foot. That makes the height about 2 ft, much less than the reported 25 ft.

miskamm [114]

The perimeter would be ≈ 36.797836892947.

Rounded would be about 37, or 36.8.

Hope this helps!!!!

P=4a

d\sqrt{2a}

Solving for P:

P=2\sqrt{2d} =2*\sqrt{2*13.01}≈36.79784
