Answer: Yes. On average, it takes about 455 days for 1 person to throw away 1 ton of garbage, so just over 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation: The average person throws away 4.4 pounds of trash daily. So, the way to figure this out is 2,000 divided by 4.4 to find out the number of days it would take to throw away 2,000 pounds of trash.

Nitella [24]

Answer: 0.9730

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of the answer being correct and B be the event of the knew the answer.

Given: P(A)=0.9

P(A^c)=0.1

P(B|A^{C})=0.25

If it is given that the answer is correct , then the probability that he guess the answer P(B|A)= 1

By Bayes theorem , we have

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B|A)P(A)+P(C|A^c)P(A^c)}

=\dfrac{(1)(0.9)}{(1))(0.9)+(0.25)(0.1)}\\\\=0.972972972973\approx0.9730

Hence, the student correctly answers a question, the probability that the student really knew the correct answer is 0.9730.

Is (x-1) a factor of 2x3 - 15x2 + 22x + 15
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x - 1 is a factor of the cubic, then 1 should result in 0 when you put it in the cubic for x. Does it?

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 15(1)^2 + 22(1) + 15

f(1) = 2 - 15 + 22 + 15

f(1)= 24.

No the result is not zero. So x - 1 is not a factor.

However there must be something that makes this cubic go to zero. The easiest way to find it is to graph it.

The numbers that do make this zero are -0.5, 3, 5

Which mean that the factors are (2x+1)(x-3)(x - 5)

zimovet [89]
The way to solve this is take 32/16, and you get 2. This means that you get 2 kiwis per dollar. So, if Lisa has $6, then she can buy 12 kiwis.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 0.1x = 60

15 - 15 + 0.1x = 60 - 15

0.1x = 45

\frac{0.1x}{0.1} = \frac{45}{0.1}

x = 450
