Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. They gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 piece

s of the candy and Enrique took the rest. Enrique told his mother he got 64% of the candy. What did Enrique do wrong in calculating his percentage?
He forgot how many pieces they started with.


He didn't account for the candy that was given away.


He counted Yolanda's candy as his own.


He multiplied incorrectly.

The answer would be C. (He counted Yolanda's candy as his own).

This is found by multiplying 500 (starting number of candy) and .64 (percentage divided by a hundred). Thjs would guve you 320, which you would then subtract from the starting number of candy (500) to get 180. 180 is Yolanda's number of candy, which gives you the answer.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2-16=0
maks197457 [2]
Good evening.


This is a incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

\mathsf{x^2 - 16 = 0}

Add 16 to both sides:

\mathsf{x^2 - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16}\\ \\ \mathsf{x^2 = 16}

Take the square root:

\mathsf{\sqrt {x^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\boxed{\mathsf{x = \pm4} }}

Therefore:

\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{S=\{-4, \ +4\}}}}

I need your help again guys!

ANSWER

x = 13

EXPLANATION

Use the Pythagoras Theorem to obtain,

{x}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}

This implies that,

{x}^{2}  = 144 + 25

{x}^{2}  = 169

Take the positive square root of both sides to get,

x =  \sqrt{169}

x = 13

A researcher plants 22 seedlings. After one month, independent of the other seedlings, each seedling has a probability of 0.08 o
Andrews [41]

Answer:

E(X₁)= 1.76

E(X₂)= 4.18

E(X₃)= 9.24

E(X₄)= 6.82

a. P(X₁=3, X₂=4, X₃=6;0.08,0.19,0.42)= 0.00022

b. P(X₁=5, X₂=5, X₄=7;0.08,0.19,0.31)= 0.000001

c. P(X₁≤2) = 0.7442

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So that you can easily resolve this problem first determine your experiment and it's variables. In this case, you have 22 seedlings (n) planted and observe what happens with the after one month, each seedling independent of the others and has each leads to success for exactly one of four categories with a fixed success probability per category. This is a multinomial experiment so I'll separate them in 4 different variables with the corresponding probability of success for each one of them:

X₁: "The seedling is dead" p₁: 0.08

X₂: "The seedling exhibits slow growth" p₂: 0.19

X₃: "The seedling exhibits medium growth" p₃: 0.42

X₄: "The seedling exhibits strong growth" p₄:0.31

To calculate the expected number for each category (k) you need to use the formula:

E(XE(X_{k}) = n_{k} * p_{k}

So

E(X₁)= n*p₁ = 22*0.08 = 1.76

E(X₂)= n*p₂ = 22*0.19 = 4.18

E(X₃)= n*p₃ = 22*0.42 = 9.24

E(X₄)= n*p₄ = 22*0.31 = 6.82

Next, to calculate each probability you just use the corresponding probability of success of each category:

Formula: P(X₁, X₂,..., Xk) = \frac{n!}{X_{1}!X_{2}!...X_{k}!} * p_{1}^{X_{1}} * p_{2}^{X_{2}} *.....*p_{k}^{X_{k}}

a.

P(X₁=3, X₂=4, X₃=6;0.08,0.19,0.42)= \frac{22!}{3!4!6!} * 0.08^{3} * 0.19^{4} * 0.42^{6}\\ = 0.00022

b.

P(X₁=5, X₂=5, X₄=7;0.08,0.19,0.31)= \frac{22!}{5!5!7!} * 0.08^{5} * 0.19^{5} * 0.31^{7}\\ = 0.000001

c.

P(X₁≤2) = \frac{22!}{0!} * 0.08^{0} * (0.92)^{22} + \frac{22!}{1!} * 0.08^{1} * (0.92)^{21} + \frac{22!}{2!} * 0.08^{2} * (0.92)^{20} = 0.7442

I hope you have a SUPER day!
