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

A standard brick is 3.625 inches wide, 2.25 inches high, and 7.625 inches long. How many bricks could be in a pallet of bricks t
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: Option D. 1,778

Solution:

Standard brick:

Width: w=3.625 in

Height: h=2.25 in

Length: l=7.625 in

Volumen of one standard brick: v

v=w*h*l

v=(3.625 in)*(2.25 in)*(7.625 in)

v=62.19140625 in^3

Pallet of bricks:

Side: s=4 feet

s=(4 feet)*(12 in / 1 feet)→s=48 in

Volume of a pallet of bricks: V=s^3

V=(48 in)^3

V=110,592 in^3

Number of bricks could be in  a pallet: n

n=V/v

n=(110,592 in^3) / (62.19140625 in^3)

n=1,778.252119

n=1,778

PLEASE HELP THANK YOU
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

change in the total cost for each book printed = $15

cost to get started (before books are bought) = $1200

Step-by-step explanation:

IF the eqn is y = 15x +1200

where y  represent the total cost of publishing a book (in dollars) and

x  represent the number of copies of the book printed


then cost to get started (before books are bought) can be found by substitute x=0 into the eqn

y = 1200 + 15*0 = $1200


change in the total cost for each book printed will be the difference in total cost at x=0 and x=1

when x=0, y=1200

when x=1, y=1200+15*1=1215

so the change in total cost=$15

The two figures are congruent because the side lengths are the same, therefore making the angle measures the same.
