Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk

, and 6 contain diluted flat soda. Jones gets to choose a chalice from the remaining ones after Donavan drinks from 3 of them. If the chances of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is then 1/3, how many of the chalices that Donavan drank out of contained purified water?

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.

What is the value of the remainder if 10x4 – 6x3 + 5x2 – x + 1 is divided by x – 3?
natita [175]

Answer:

Remainder is 691.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1.

Now we need to find remainder if we divide given function 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1 by (x-3)

(x-3) means plug x=3 into 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1 to find remainder.

10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1

=10(3)^4-6(3)^3+5(3)^2-(3)+1

=10(81)-6(27)+5(9)-(3)+1

=810-162+45-3+1

=856-162-3

=856-165

=691

Hence remainder is 691.

Which of the following is used to inscribe a square in a circle?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The option which is used to inscribe a square in a circle is option B

B. Construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps required to inscribe a square in a circle are;

1) Draw the circle using a compass

2) Draw the diameter of the circle, that passes through the center of the circle with a straight edge label the endpoint of the diameter X and Y

3) Construct the line perpendicular to the diameter of the circle and label the endpoints as A and B

The figure formed by joining the endpoints X, Y, A, and B is the inscribed square of the circle

Therefore, the correct option is to construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter of the circle.
