together = add

add the fractions

3 7/10 + 5 9/10

add the whole numbers first

3+5=8

add the fractions

7/10+9/10= 16/10

8 16/10

reduce 16/10 divide by 2

16/2= 8

10/2= 5

8 8/5

whole number changes to 9

8-5=3

denominator stays the same

9 3/5

Answer:

9 3/5

A canoe requires 8 hours of fabrication and a rowboat 5 hours. The fabrication departments has at most 107 hours of labor availa

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: Canoe → 8h →X

Rowboat → 5h → Y

Fabrication department has at most 107, which means it need to be <u>less</u> than 107 hours.

This way, the amount of time to fabricate X canoes = 8X plus the amount of time to fabricate Y Rowboat = 5Y must be less than 107.

8X + 5Y < 107

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that $p = 0.06$

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$
