Mathematics

Tasya [4]3 years ago

Let us assume that it is 1/8 lb packages of fudge.

So, the question is how many 1/8 lbs of fudge can be sold from 7 pounds of fudge

Answer:

Total amount of fudge = 7 pounds

Portions of division = 1/8 pounds

So, number of packages that can be made from 7 pounds are =

\frac{7}{\frac{1}{8}}

= 7\times8=56

Hence, 56 packages of 1/8 lbs each can be made from 7 pounds fudge.

A package of 10 batteries is checked to determine if there are any dead batteries. Four batteries are checked. If one or more ar
frutty [35]

Answer:

There is a probability of 76% of not selling the package if there are actually three dead batteries in the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a 10-units package of batteries with 3 dead batteries, the sampling can be modeled as a binomial random variable with:

  • n=4 (the amount of batteries picked for the sample).
  • p=3/10=0.3 (the proportion of dead batteries).
  • k≥1 (the amount of dead batteries in the sample needed to not sell the package).

The probability of having k dead batteries in the sample is:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}

Then, the probability of having one or more dead batteries in the sample (k≥1) is:

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{4}{0} p^{0}q^{4}=1*1*0.7^4=0.2401\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.2401=0.7599\approx0.76

X + 2y =6<br> X- y =3<br> Solution?
VikaD [51]
Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.

x+2y=6
x-y=3

Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:

x+2y=6
2x-2y=6

The y's now cancel out:

x=6
2x=6

Add them together

3x=12

Divide

x=4.

To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)

(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3

Subtract four

2y=2
-y=-1

Divide each

2y/2 = 2/2
y=1

-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1

The answer is:
x=4
y=1

I hope that helps!

Select the function that's represented in the graph. Question 5 options: A) ƒ(x) = x2 – 3 B) ƒ(x) = –1∕2x2 – 3 C) ƒ(x) = –x2 – 3
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a)

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

because of the end behaviour the constant in  x^2 should be positive so we have a) or d)

f(0)=-3 in both cases

for A) f(x)=

x^2-3=(x-\sqrt{3})(x+\sqrt{3})

so f(x)=0 for x=\sqrt{3} \ or \  x = -\sqrt{3}

so the correct answer is A)

hope this helps
