You are right. Transitivity means, that:
if a = b and b = c, then a = c
(here a = x, b=5 and c = y).
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population
That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students
Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13
The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let be the number of pets and is the probability of owning the number of pets
Answer: $29.75
Explanation: 1-0.15 = 0.85,
35(0.85) = 29.75
