Answer:

(a) 1.6197

(b) 1.3803

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X denote the number of games the Reds win. If Reds win exactly one it means that in the other two games Reds lost i.e Cubs won. Now,  the probability of the Reds losing is determined by 1 -\text{probability of winning} = 1-0.54 = 0.46. So, if X wins exactly i times, then we should multiply the probabilities associated with

P(X=0) = \binom{3}{0} \times 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(X=1) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(X=2) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(X=3) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now,

E(X) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} i \times P(X=i) = 1.6197

(b) Let Y denote the number of games won by Cubs. Then by the similar logic as above,

P(Y=3) = \binom{3}{0} 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(Y=2) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(Y=1) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(Y=0) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now

E(Y) = \sum_{j=0}^{3} j \times P(Y=j) = 1.3803

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The inequality to represent the situation is 20x\geq 3000 and the team must sell at least 15 "Jaguar Cards".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ADMHS football team is trying to raise money to buy new equipment so the players are selling "Jaguar Cards" for \$20 each.

If the football team needs to raise at least \$3,000 for equipment.

To find: The inequality to represent the situation and the least number of "Jaguar Cards" the team must sell.

Solution:

Let the ADMHS football team sold x "Jaguar Cards" for \$20 each.

Now, the football team needs to raise at least \$3,000 for equipment.

So, the inequality to represent the situation is 20x\geq 3000.

Now, on solving we get,

20x\geq 3000

\implies x\geq \frac{300}{20}

\implies x\geq 15

Hence, the inequality to represent the situation is 20x\geq 3000 and the team must sell at least 15 "Jaguar Cards".

Please help!<3 tysm if u helped
Vilka [71]

Answer:

x = 0 1 -1 -2

y = -3 -4 -2 -1

Step-by-step explanation:

equation : 3y+9x = -9

when x = 1

3y+3x = -9

or, 3y + 3×1= -9

or, 3y+3=-9

or, 3y = -12

so, y = -4

Again

Let's suppose x as -1

3y+3x= -9

or, 3y+ 3×-1 = -9

or, 3y-3 = -9

or, 3y = -6

y = -2

Let's suppose x as -2 now,

3y+3x = -9

3y+3×-2 = -9

or, 3y-6 = -9

or, 3y = -3

so, y = -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) r = 10/2 = 5 feet

Area of floor =πr² =3.14*5*5 = 78.5 feet²

B) h = 3 foot

Volume of cylinder = πr²h = 3.14*5*5*3 = 235.5 cubic feet

Volume of hemisphere =2/3πr³= 2*3.14*5*5*5/3=261.67 cubic feet

Volume of space inside the observatory = 497.17 cubic feet
