A spool of rope contains 65 yards of rope. How many 4-foot pieces of rope can be cut from the spool? How much rope is left ov

Thepotemich [5.8K]

So there is 65 yards and one yard is 3 feet so you multiple 65 by 3 which is 195 . Then you divide by 4 as you have to see how many four foot pieces can be cut which you end up with 48.75 which means that you can have 48 four foot pieces. So since you have 48 four foot pieces you multiply 48 by 4 and you have 192 and if you subtract 195 which is how many feet there is in the 65 yards you get three feet and that is how much of the rope that is left over.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it contains a golden sheet of paper, or it does not. The probability of a container containing a golden sheet of paper is independent of other containers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper containers.

This means that $p = 0.3$

14 of these containers of paper.

This means that $n = 14$

What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper?

$P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{14} = 0.0068$

$P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{13} = 0.0407$

$P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.1134$

$P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.1943$

$P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.2290$

$P(X = 5) = C_{14,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1963$

$P(X = 6) = C_{14,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.1262$

$P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0068 + 0.0407 + 0.1134 + 0.1943 + 0.2290 + 0.1963 + 0.1262 = 0.9067$

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

HELP PLS BRAINLIEST IF POSSIBBLE factor each polynomial completely a^2-ab-8a+8a brainly

sineoko [7]

Answer:

a(a - b)

Step-by-step explanation:

given polynomial: a²- ab - 8a + 8a

We can first simplify this answer by removing like terms,

- 8a + 8a = 0

so we have a²- ab in. the simplest form

we can take this one step further and factor out the a (not simplest form)

a time a = a²

a times b = ab

hence, a(a - b)
