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.

The shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m2 The length of the shower block is 24 m.What is the width?
g100num [7]

Since the shower block is in the form of a rectangle. The shower block has an area of 144m^{2}. It has a length of 24m. We need to calculate the width of the shower block.

Area of rectangular shower block = length \times width

144m^{2} = 24 m \times width

width = = \frac{144m^{2}}{24m}

width = 6m

So, the width of the shower block is 6 meters.

Answer:

7. MN = 12

8. m<XYZ = 90°

9. m<YXM = 49°

10. m<XWZ = 131°

Step-by-step explanation:

This drawing is messed up.

The perspective is off because <NMW looks to be an obtuse angle because it appears to be greater than a square angle or 90°.

The median should be accurate in perspective even though WZ appears to be greater than MN or XY which is greater than WZ but appears to be smaller than WZ.

Describe how you would estimate the square root of a number that is not a perfect square without using a calculator. lets say n
scZoUnD [109]
To get the square root of imperfect square we can use the formula , which is usually accurate to about two decimal places,
√X =√S +(X-S)2√S
Where, X = the number you want the square roof of, and S is the closest square you know to x.
For example 75 is an imperfect square
Thus, X=75 and thus the nearest number S = 81, this ,means √81 =9.
Putting this into the formula;
√75= 9+(75-81)/2/2(9)
      =  9 + -6/18 
      = 9-0.33333 = 8.667
= 8.667, thus the square root of 75 is 8.66
