L + S = 171
L = 3/7S - 39

3/7S - 39 + S = 171
3/7S + S = 171 + 39
3/7S + 7/7S = 210
10/7S = 210
S = 210 / (10/7)
S = 210 * 7/10
S = 1470/10
S = 147 <=== steve has 147 marbles

Larry has : 171 - 147 = 24 marbles

While in Europe, if you drive 123 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per lite
Leona [35]
First, you drive 123km per day, and they ask for in a week.
There are 7 days in a week, we have to multiply 123 by 7, which equals 861.
=km per week 861
Now, we need to find out how much cost the gas. Gas cost 1.10 euros per-liter, and this problem wants us to assume that 1euro = 1.26 dollars.
 
So, we divide 1.10 by 1.26 which is 0.87.
=gas cost 0.87 per liter.

Next, this person goes 31.0 mi/gal per stop.
To get the answer we need to divide 861 the full distance in a week and divide it by how many stops nee to be made which is each 31 mi/gal.

So, 861/31 = 27.77 and now we times 0.87 by 27.77 to get gas cost.

Let X denote a random variable which corresponds to the number of players in a team who get injured during a game. If we assume
Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a)

The values of X can be 0, 1, 2 , ..., 10 . So, X is a discrete random variable.

(b)

The distribution of X is Binomial distribution with the parameters n = 10 and p = 0.2

(c)

Probability that no one or one person will be injured = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

= 10C0 * 0.20 * (1 - 0.2)10-0 + 10C1 * 0.21 * (1 - 0.2)10-1

= 0.810 + 10 * 0.2 * 0.89

= 0.3758096

(d)

Average value of X = np

Average value of X = 10 * 0.2 = 2

(e)

Variance of X = np(1-p)

Variance of X = 10 * 0.2 * (1 - 0.2) = 1.6

(f)

Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured = 10C2 = 10! / ((10-2)! 2!) = (10 * 9) / (2 * 1) = 45

Assume the best player got injures, number of ways in which one people out of remaining 9 people gets injured = 9C1

= 9! / ((9-1)! 1!)

= 9

Probability that the best player got injured = Number of ways in which 1 people gets out of 9 and best person gets injured / Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured

= 9 / 45

= 0.2

(Essay Question 7 Points)
Irina18 [472]

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?
