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

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

You just have to replace the value of n with 4.

C(n) = 46 + 3n

C(4) = 46 + 3(4)

       = 46 + 12

       = 58

Refer to the triangle below what is the volume of X. 45° 60°
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for x

x = 180° - (60 + 45)° = 180 - 105° = 75°

-3=x/-9 please tell me how to solve this I’m way behind and trying to learn thank you :)
snow_tiger [21]

-3 = x/-9

To make this easier, I'll put it in normal numbers

(-3 = x/-9) -1

3 = x/9

Multiply both sides by nine to take out the division.

27 = x

Hope that this helped!
