A farmer from Whidbey Island: A man claims his whalebone can detect water. You design an experiment using a set of 4 cans, 3 emp

ty, and one filled with water. You present the farmer with a total of 5 different but similar sets of cans. For each trial, you ask the farmer to identify which of the four cans has the water. How many cans would you expect the farmer to correctly identify by chance? (Round to the nearest 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

The value is E(x) =  1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

p  =  \frac{k}{n}

=> p  =  \frac{1}{4}

=> p  = 0.25

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

q =  1- p

q =  1- 0.25

q = 0.75

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

E(x) =  w  *  p

=> E(x) =  5  * 0.75

=> E(x) =  1.25

Amanda and Ndiba are selling flower bulbs for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy packages of tulip bulbs and bags of daffodi
Mumz [18]

Answer:

daffodil = $13 Tulip = $7

Step-by-step explanation:

6t + 12d = 198

7t + 6d = 127

6t = 198 - 12d

t = 33 -2d

substitute

7(33-2d) + 6d = 127

231 -14d +6d = 127

- 8d = -104

d =13

6t + 12(13) = 198

6t +156 = 198

6t = 42

t = 7

Cathy bought a bag of candy that weighed 0.74 pounds. What is this decimal as a fraction, in lowest terms?
Luden [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.74.....so what place value is the last number in ? Because if u know that, this wont be hard to do. Its in the 100ths place....so put that number over 100 and reduce if possible.

74/100 reduces to 37/50.....and if u were to get a calculator and type in 37 divided by 50, ur gonna get 0.74.....and thats how to turn a fraction into a decimal (just in case u were interested)
