Answer:

(-162)/7 or -23 1/7 as mixed fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(-36)/14 (-18) (-3)/6

Hint: | Express (-36)/14 (-18) (-3)/6 as a single fraction.

(-36)/14 (-18) (-3)/6 = (-36 (-18) (-3))/(14×6):

(-36 (-18) (-3))/(14×6)

Hint: | In (-36 (-18) (-3))/(14×6), divide -18 in the numerator by 6 in the denominator.

(-18)/6 = (6 (-3))/6 = -3:

(-36-3 (-3))/14

Hint: | In (-36 (-3) (-3))/14, the numbers -36 in the numerator and 14 in the denominator have gcd greater than one.

The gcd of -36 and 14 is 2, so (-36 (-3) (-3))/14 = ((2 (-18)) (-3) (-3))/(2×7) = 2/2×(-18 (-3) (-3))/7 = (-18 (-3) (-3))/7:

(-18 (-3) (-3))/7

Hint: | Multiply -18 and -3 together.

-18 (-3) = 54:

(54 (-3))/7

Hint: | Multiply 54 and -3 together.

54 (-3) = -162:

Answer:  (-162)/7

Box 1 contains 1000 lightbulbs of which 10% are defective. Box 2 contains 2000 lightbulbs of which 5% are defective. (a) Suppose
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1

b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.

a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.

Box 1 = 1/10

Box 2 = 1/2

From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%

b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.

Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100

Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400

As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%

You are given 3 to 1 odds against tossing three tails with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$3 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
  • your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
  • Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
  • Probability(x)=P(x)\\P(0)=\frac{1}{8} \\P(1)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(2)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(3)=\frac{1}{8}
  • The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
  • E(X)=(0)(0.125)+(1)(0.375)+(2)(0.375)+(3)(0.125)=1.5
  • Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
  • So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
  • But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games

lorasvet [3.4K]
If you take the numerator and the denominator from flour and multiply both by 10, you'll get 40/100. then, add 40/100 to 12/100. your answer should be 52/100. if not, look back through your math. hope that helped.

Please help! The volume of an inflated spherical water balloon is 121,500 pi millimeters to the third. What is the radius of the
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The radius of the inflated spherical balloon  is 45 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the spherical water balloon = 121,500 pi  cubic millimeters

Let the radius of the balloon = r

Now, Volume of a Sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

⇒\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}  = 121,500 \pi

On solving for the value of r, we get:

r^{3}  = \frac{121,500\times 3}{4}   = 91125\\ \implies  r  = \sqrt[3]{91125}

or, r  = 45 millimeter

Hence, the radius of the inflated spherical balloon  is 45 millimeters.
