Answer:

At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of apples she buys =15

Number of oranges she buys = 18

Number of mangoes she buys = 21

we need to find the least possible number of bags used.

Solution:

To find the least possible number of bags required we will find the prime common factor.

Multiples of 15 = 3\times 5

Multiples of 18 = 3\times 3\times 2

Multiples of 21 = 3\times 7

so we can say that;

Highest common prime factor in all three numbers is 3.

Hence At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

A diner asks patrons for their preference for waffles or pancakes and syrup or fruit topping.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

P (Waffles | Syrup)\neq P(Waffles)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we have to:

Probability of syrup is 0.96

Probability of waffles and syrup is 0.32

P (Waffles | Syrup) = P (Waffles and syrup) / P (syrup)

So:

If this equality is met, the probabilities are dependent, if on the contrary

P (Wafles | Syrup) = P (Wafles) then are independent probabilities.

P (Wafles | Syrup) = 0.32 / 0.96 = 0.333 \neq 0.32

So we have to:

P (Waffles | Syrup)\neq P(Waffles)

The probabilities are dependent.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

19 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that mean is the sum of all the elements divided by the number of elements there are: m = t/n, where m is the mean, t is the total sum, and n is the number of elements.

Here, we are given the mean number of coins for all 27 + 18 = 45 children is 16, so m = 16 and n = 45. Then:

m = t/n

16 = t/45

t = 720

This t means that the total number of coins that all the boys and girls have is 720 coins.

Now, we also know the mean number of coins for the boys only, which is 14. Since there are 27 boys, then:

m = t/n

14 = t/27

t = 378

This t means the total number of coins all the boys have.

Subtracting 378 from 720, we get 342, which is the total number of coins the girls have. We also know there are 18 girls, so:

m = t/n

m = 342 / 18 = 19

Thus, the mean is 19 coins.
