Answer:

a. 0.6899

b. 0.1642

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the probability of success is 0.94 for an expert and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\\\\=0.6899

Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.6899

b.Given the probability of success is 0.74 for a novice and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\\\\=0.1642

#Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.1642

*I have used the sample size of 6(due to conflicting info/question size).

Question 15 Unsaved Which biconditional is NOT a good definition? Question 15 options: A whole number is odd if and only if the
skad [1K]

We see that the second definition is not a good definition. We want both parts to have the same truth value, but we see that we can have two angles created by a ray that are not equal. That means the antecedent is false but the consequence is true, which means it's not an iff statement, and a bad definition in this context.

If shamans has 3&1/3 cups of flour to make cupcakes. If she needs 1/13 cup of flour to make one cupcake how many full cupcak
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

43.3 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

If shamans has 3&1/3 cups of flour to make cupcakes. If she needs 1/13 cup of flour to make one cupcake how many full cupcakes can she make

From the above question

1/ 13 cup = 1 cup cake

3 1/3 cups = x

Cross Multiply

1 /13 × X = 3 1/3 × 1

x = 10/3 ÷ 1 /13

x = 10/3 × 13/1

x = 130/3

x = 43.333333333 cupcakes

3x+8+(2x-3)+5x = 180

simplify(collect like terms):

10x + 5 = 180

solve:

10x = 175

x=17.5
