Casey has 48 red peppers and 16 yellow peppers. If Casey wants to put the peppers into baskets so that each basket has the same

number of red and yellow peppers, what is the greatest number of baskets he can make? How many of each type of pepper will he make?

He can make a total of 16baskets with one of each pepper in each basket. The yellow peppers are the limiting factor on the problem as there are the least amount of them.
Therefore the greatest number of baskets with equal amounts of both peppers is 16 baskets.
Any questions feel free to ask. Thank you

Set A of six numbers has a standard deviation of 3 and set B of four numbers has a standard deviation of 5. Both sets of numbers

Alenkinab [10]

Given:

$\sigma_A=3$

$n_A=6$

$\sigma_B=5$

$n_B=4$

$\overline{x}_A=\overline{x}_B$

To find:

The variance. of combined set.

Solution:

Formula for variance is

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}$ ...(i)

Using (i), we get

$\sigma_A^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{n_A}$

$(3)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}$

$9=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}$

$54=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2$

Similarly,

$\sigma_B^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_B}$

$(5)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}$

$25=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}$

$100=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2$

Now, after combining both sets, we get

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2+\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_A+n_B}$

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{54+100}{6+4}$

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{154}{10}$

$\sigma^2=15.4$

Therefore, the variance of combined set is 15.4.

What property out of distributive,communitive,and associative.

Vlad1618 [11]

Hello!

The Associative Property of Multiplication states the following:

a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c

The equation given in the image above follows the same form:

9 × (5 × 2) = (9 × 5) × 2

Therefore, the given equation must be representative of the Associative Property.

I hope this helps!

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$13,082.60 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Melanie:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^(20)\\ A=9800(1+\frac{.045}{4})^(20)\\A=$12,257.36$

Amelia:

$A=Pe^(rt)\\A=9800e^(.0475*20)\\A=$25,339.95$

Amelia-Melanie= $13,082.60

A school plays a series of 6 soccer matches. For each match there are 3 possibilities: a win, a draw or a loss. How

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

There are 729 possible results are there for the series

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have n trials, each with m possible outcomes, the total number of possible outcomes is:

$T = m^{n}$

In this question:

6 games(trials), so $n = 6$ .

Each with three possible outcomes, so $m = 3$

Then:

$T = 3^{6} = 729$

There are 729 possible results are there for the series
