Mariana [72]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

n = 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+n)/(43+n) =1/3

3(4+n)= 1*(43 + n)

12 + 3n = 43 + n

3n - n = 43 - 12

2n = 31

n = 31/2= 15.5

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The probability that 8 mice are required is 0.2428.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scientist inoculates mice, one at a time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 that have contracted the disease. If the probability of contracting the disease is two sevenths.

To find : What is the probability that 8 mice are required? The probability that that 8 mice are required is nothing ?

Solution :

Applying binomial distribution,

$P(X=r)=^nC_r p^rq^{n-r}$

Where, p is the probability of success $p=\frac{2}{7}$

q is the probability of failure q=1-p, $q=1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}$

n is total number of trials n=8

r=3

Substitute the values,

$P(X=3)=^8C_3 (\frac{2}{7})^3 (\frac{5}{7})^{8-3}$

$P(X=3)=\frac{8!}{3!5!}\times \frac{8}{343}\times (\frac{5}{7})^{5}$

$P(X=3)=\frac{8\times 7\times 6}{3\times 2\times 1}\times \frac{8}{343}\times \frac{3125}{16807}$

$P(X=3)=0.2428$

Therefore, the probability that 8 mice are required is 0.2428.

What is the surface area of the figure?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The total surface area = 582 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of it count the number of faces at first

The figure has 8 faces each 2 are equal

1- Two faces with dimensions 4 ft and 15 ft ( base and shaded face)

2- Two faces with dimensions 9 ft and 4 ft

3- Two faces with dimensions 4 ft and 6 ft

4- Two faces with dimensions 15 ft , 9 ft and 6 ft

Area of (1-) = 2(4 × 15) = 120 ft²

Area of (2-) = 2(4 × 9) = 72 ft²

Area of (3-) = 2(4 × 6) = 48 ft²

Area of (4-) = 2[(9 × 9) + (6 × 15)] = 2[81 + 90] = 2 × 171 = 342 ft²

∴ The total surface area = 120 + 72 + 48 + 342 = 582 ft²

Consider functions f and g.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

C. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking to the Venn's diagram, we can realize that g(1) = 0

If g(1) = 0, you just need to put 0 in place of x in f(x), so we have:

f(0) = 3√0 + 1

f(0) = 3•0 + 1

f(0) = 1

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = $1.26\times 10^{6}tons$

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = $a(r^{n-1})$
