A water container is 1/8 full. 35 litres if water are now poured into the container. The container is now 1/4 full.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The container can hold 280 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

The water originally fills 1/8 of a container. Then 35 lt of water are poured into the container and now it's 1/4 full.

If we subtract the final portion of the tank minus the original portion of the container, we obtain the portion that was poured into.

$\mathrm{Portion\ poured }=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{8}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

If 35 liters of water is 1/8 of the tank, then it can hold 35*8 = 280 liters.

The container can hold 280 liters of water.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle

Masteriza [31]

Answer: 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the measures of the legs and hypotenuse given to form a right angle triangle, they must be Pythagorean triples. A Pythagoras triple is a set of numbers that perfectly satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side². We will apply the theorem to each set of numbers given.

1) 3, 4, 5

5² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16

25 = 25

It is a Pythagorean triple

2) 4, 11, 14

14² = 11² + 4² = 121 + 16

196 = 137

It is a Pythagorean triple

3) 9, 14, 17

17² = 14² + 9² = 196 + 81

289 = 277

It is not a Pythagorean triple

4) 8, 14, 16

16² = 14² + 8² = 196 + 64

256 = 260

It is not a Pythagorean triple

5) 8, 15 , 17

17² = 15² + 8²

289 = 225 + 64

289 = 289

It is a Pythagorean triple

Therefore, 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Hester sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 15 if the buyer gets an extended war

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$y =mx +bx$

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

$1200 = 15*16 +16b$

and solving for b we got:

$b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60$

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can set a linear model like this:

$y =mx +bx$

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

$1200 = 15*16 +16b$

and solving for b we got:

$b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60$

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

In a carnival game, the player selects a ball one at a time, without replacement, from an urn containing twotwo purplepurple

dezoksy [38]

The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, the possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}

1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning

The player earning for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5

2. Find its expected value

The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.

Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
