12 ÷ 5 = 2.4. So there will be 0.4 string left.
Answer:
0.0319
Step-by-step explanation:
To approximate this probability, we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial distribution.
Let p = probability of selecting a reference book = 65% = 0.65
Let q = probability of selecting other books= 1-p = 1-0.65 = 0.35
Now, we want to find the probability that all of these 8 books to be re-shelved are reference book.
We set up the probability as follows;
P(X = 8) = 8C8 •p^8•q^0
P(X = 8) = 1 * (0.65)^8 * (0.35)^0
P(X = 8) = 0.031864481289 which is 0.0319 to 4 decimal places
Yea so whats the question or is that just a fact<span />
A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line having the general equation of y = b.
Make this on form of a simultaneous equation:
assume jelly beans is J and trail mix is T
8J+4T=21
3J+2T=9
then solve
multiply the first equation by 3 and second equation by 8(SO THE J CAN DISAPPEAR[ELIMINATION METHOD])
24J+12T=63
24J+16T=72
Subtract
-4T=-9
T=0.44
then substitute the T to any one of the equation
3J+2(0.44)=9
3J+0.88=9
3J=8.12
J=2.71
therefore, jelly beans= $2.71 and trail mix=$0.44
