Answer:

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 1/4 pizzas. If you get rid of 3/4 of a pizza, you will end up with 2 2/4 pizzas.

To make it easier, you can just change the values into improper fractions: 3 1/4 = 13/4

13/4 - 3/4 = 10/4

10/4 = 2 2/4 pizzas

(2 2/4 = 2 1/2)

Anyways! You now have 2 and a half pizzas. You have 3 times the amount of pizza that your friend has. In other words, your friend has 1/3 the amount of pizza that you have. You can solve for this in two ways, whichever way you solve it is up to you.

  1. You can solve this problem by dividing the amount of food you have by 3: \frac{2\frac{1}{2} }{3} which equals 0.8333... (the 3 is repeating). But you can just keep your final answer in fraction form if you want to: \frac{2.5}{3} = \frac{5}{6}
  2. You can solve this problem by multiplying 1/3 to the amount of food you have: \frac{1}{3} * 2 \frac{2}{4}\\=\frac{10}{12}\\ =\frac{5}{6}

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.

The value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. write a function for the computers value V(t)
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Function for given situation is : V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Value of computer after 4 years = $720.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. Now we need to write a function for the computers value V(t). then we need to find about how much will the computer be worth in 4 years.

It clearly says that value decreases so that means function represents decay.

For decay we use formula:

A=P(1-r)^t

where P=initial value = $3000,

r= rate of decrease =30% = 0.30

t= number of years

A=V(t) = future value

so the required function is V(t)=3000(1-0.30)^t

or V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Now plug t=4 years to get the value of computer after 4 years.

V(4)=3000(0.70)^4

V(4)=720.3

Hence final answer is $720.3.

if you roll a fair 6-sided die 9 times, what is the probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4?
Kay [80]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

For each die, there are only two possible outcomes, either a 3 or a 4 is rolled, or it is not. The result of a roll is independent of any other roll, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 9 rolls, hence n = 9.
  • Of the six sides, 2 are 3 or 4, hence p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333

The desired probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{9} = 0.026

P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.3333)^{1}.(0.6667)^{8} = 0.117

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.026 + 0.117 = 0.143

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.143 = 0.857

0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.
