Answer:

The actual mass of the book is between  481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the book on the scale = 450 g

The percentage error in the scale = 7%

So, the actual mass of the book is 450 g ± 7%

Now, 7 % of  the mass 450 g = \frac{7}{100}  \times 450 = 31.5

⇒ 7% of 450 g = 31.5 g

Now, the Actual mass of the book =  450 g ± 31.5 g

450 g + 31.5 g   = 481 . 5 g

450 g - 31.5 g    = 418 . 5 g

Hence the actual mass of the book is between  481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.

9 inches * 1 foot / 12 inches
= 3/4 feet deep

Area of the sidewalk: 
= the sides of the pool * the width of the sidewalk + the corners of the sidewalk (width * width)
= 2 sides * 6 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 2 sides * 14 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 4 corners * (2 feet * 2 feet / corner)
= 12 feet * 2 feet + 28 feet * 2 feet + 4 * 2 feet * 2 feet
= 24 feet^2 + 56 feet^2 + 16 feet^2
= 96 feet^2

Volume:
= 96 feet^2 * 3/4 feet
= (96 * 3 / 4) feet^3
= (19 * 3) feet^3
= 57 feet^3

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

0.578

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Given that there are 14 orders at the ratio by of:

6 with hot peppers

8 without hot peppers

At most two have hot peppers.

Binomial Problem with n = 3 ; p(hot) = 6/8

P(0<= x <=2) = 1 - P(x = 3)

= 1 - (6/8)^3

= 1 - ( 3/4 )^3

= 1 - ( 27/64 )^3

= 1- (37/64)

= 1 - 0.421875

= 0.578125

= 0.578
