Answer:

(a)  0.5948

(b ) 0.0392;  A. Yes , because the probability is less than 0.05

(c) 0.3660

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of regular soda; P (regular soda) = 4/18

Probability of diet soda; P (diet soda) = 14/18

Let R = Outcome of Regular soda

      D = Outcome of Diet soda

P (R) = 4/18

P(D) = 14/18

Note that it is a probability without replacement situation

The total sample space for randomly selecting two cans from the 18 packs is given as :

R     R

R     D

D    R

D    D

(a.) Determine the probability that both contain diet soda.

P(both Diet Soda) = P (DD)

                             =   14/18 x 13/17

                             = 0.59477

                             ≈ 0.5948

(b.) Determine the probability that both contain regular soda.

 P (both regular soda) = P (R R)

                                     =  4/18 x 3/17

                                     = 0.039215

                                     ≈ 0.0392

Would this be unusual?

A. Yes , because the probability is less than 0.05

(c.)  Determine the probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular

P(exactly one regular) = P(RD) + P(DR)

                                    =   (4/18 x 14/17) + (14/18 x4/17)

                                    = 0.36601

                                    ≈ 0.3660

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I started solving this problem by writing all the possible options, then pairing them each up with a fruit and drink..

...But when I read the question again, I noticed I forgot to leave out the fruit, as this question states that you're trying to retrieve "a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water.."

Well, oof.

Despite that, I'm still giving this answer as if it never left out the fruit. So, let's see what we need to do.

To find all the possible lunch options, I started out by writing down one of our meats, Turkey. As per requested, I made every possible turkey combination that included a fruit and drink, which gave me this:

  • Turkey, apple and water
  • Turkey, orange and water
  • Turkey, orange and juice
  • Turkey, apple and juice

Same for the ham:

  • Ham, apple and water
  • Ham, apple and juice
  • Ham, orange and juice
  • Ham, orange and water

Putting these together, this gives up 8 different lunchbox combinations. If we're trying to get one and we randomly select it, then we have a 1/8 chance of grabbing the turkey sandwich and a bottle of water....

..and a fruit.

Hope this helped!

If you need me to show my work, just comment me and I will attach a screenshot!

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Range = $115

Variance = $1915.2857

Standard deviation = $43.764

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

234 160 119 131 218 207 146 141

Arranging in ascending order :

119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

The range = maximum - minimum

The range = 234 - 119 = 115

The variance :

Σ(x - mean)²/n-1

The mean = Σx / n

The mean = 1356 / 8 = 169.5

Variance :

Σ(x - mean)² = (119-169.5)² + (131-169.5)² + (141-169.5)² + (146-169.5)² + (160-169.5)² + (207-169.5)² + (218-169.5)² + (234-169.5)² = 13407

n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Variance = 13407 / 7 = 1915.2857

Standard deviation = √variance

Standard deviation = √1915.2857

Standard deviation = $43.764

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?
harina [27]
To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.

)) Omar used 28 centimeters of tape to wrap 4 presents. How much tape will Omar need in
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

He would need 42 cm *or 14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

28/4 is 7

that means that he used 7 cm of tape per present

6 x 7 is 42

that means that he would need 42 cm of tape

4 to 28

6 to 42

*If he already has 4 presents done and he needs to 2 more present then he would need 14 cm, 2 x 7 is 14
