Answer:

<em>The weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the parcel is  12 lbs and 8 oz.

1 lb = 16 oz

So,  8 oz = \frac{1}{2}lb = 0.5 lb.

<u>That means,  12 lbs and 8 oz</u> = (12 + 0.5) lbs = 12.5 lbs

Now, 1 lb = 454 g

So,  12.5 lbs = (12.5 × 454) g = 5675 g

As,  1 kilogram = 1000 g

That means, 1 g = 0.001 kilogram

So,  5675 g = (5675 \times0.001) kilograms= 5.675 \approx 6 kilograms. <em>(Rounded to the nearest whole kilogram)</em>

Thus, the weight of the parcel is approximately 6 kilograms.

The las answer is Center E and scale factor 1/4 pleaseee helpp
hoa [83]
<h3>Answer: D) center E, scale factor 1/4</h3>

======================================

Explanation:

Point E is the center of the dilation (we can think of this as the origin point). This is because point E is in the same exact location as point E'. This is a fixed point. The other points move.

To find the scale factor, divide E'F' over EF

scale factor = (E'F')/(EF)

scale factor = 2/8

scale factor = 1/4

Keep in mind that EF = EF'+F'F = 2+6 = 8.

The probability of a customer arrival at a grocery service counter in any one second is equal to 0.3. Assume that customers arri
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the probability of a customer arrival at a grocery service counter in any one second is equal to 0.3

Assume that customers arrive in a random stream, so an arrival in any one second is independent of all others.

i.e. X the no of customers arriving is binomial with p = 0.3 and q = 1-0.3 =0.7

a) the probability that the first arrival will occur during the third one-second interval.

= Prob that customer did not arrive in first 2 seconds * prob customer arrive in 3rd sec

= 0.7^2 (0.3)\\= 0.147

b)  the probability that the first arrival will not occur until at least the third one-second interval.

Prob that customer did not arrive in first two seconds *(Prob customer arrives in 3rd or 4th or 5th.....)

=(0.7^2)[0.3+0.7*0.3+0.7^2*0.3+....)\\

The term inside bracket is a geometric infinite progression with common ratio - 0.7 <1

Hence the series converges

Prob =0.7^2 *\frac{0.3}{1-0.7} \\=0.49
