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.

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 = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$
