Answer:

Total peanut=324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peanut=x

Philip took 1/3 of x

Remaining peanut=x-1/3x

=3x-x/3

=2/3x

Joy took 1/4 of the remaining leaving 3/4

Remaining=(3/4)(2x/3)

=6x/12

=1/2x

Brent took 1/2 of those, leaving 1/2

=(1/2)*(1/2x)

=1/4x

Preston took 10

Remaining

1/4x - 10 = 71

1/4x = 81

x=81÷1/4

=81*4/1

x = 324

Total peanut =324

Philip=1/3x

=1/3*324

=108

Remaining 324-108

=216

Joy=1/4 of 216

=54

Remaining

324-108-54=162

Brent=1/2 of 162

=81

Preston=10

Total taken=Philip+joy+Brent+Preston

=108+54+81+10

=253

Total remaining=Total peanut - total taken

=324-253

=71

Serjik [45]

Answer:

P(X>4)= 0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

n = 10

p= 0.5 ,q= 1 - p = 0.5

Two fifth of 10 = 2/5 x 10 =4

It means that we have to find probability P(X>4).

P(X>4)= 1 -P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)-P(X=3)-P(X=4)

We know that

P(X=x)=(_{x}^{n})\ p^xq^{n-x}

P(X=0)=(_{0}^{10})\ 0.5^0\ 0.5^{10}=0.0009

P(X=1)=(_{1}^{10})\ 0.5^1\ 0.5^{9}=0.0097

P(X=2)=(_{2}^{10})\ 0.5^2\ 0.5^{8}=0.043

P(X=3)=(_{3}^{10})\ 0.5^3\ 0.5^{7}=0.117  

P(X=4)=(_{4}^{10})\ 0.5^3\ 0.5^{7}=0.205

P(X>4)= 1 -P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)-P(X=3)-P(X=4)

P(X>4)= 1 -0.0009 - 0.0097 - 0.043 - 0.117-0.205

P(X>4)= 0.624

Given log4(3) =0.7925 and log4(5) =1.1610, use log properties to find log4(300).
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

4.1145

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to solve this kind of problems,

log_{a}(b)  +  log_{a}(c)  =  log_{a}(bc)

So, let's start of with log4_(300). Since the question have already gave log4_(3) =0.7925 and log4_(5) =1.1610. It means that you have to split the 300 into the simplest form where almost all of the numbers are 3 and 5.

log_{4}(300)  =  log_{4}(4 \times 5 \times 3 \times 5)  \\  =  log_{4}(4)  + log_{4}(5)  + log_{4}(3)  + log_{4}(5)  \\   = 1 + 1.1610 + 0.7925 + 1.1610 \\  = 4.1145
