You make one pitcher of iced tea and one pitcher of lemonade for a party. Just before the party starts, you catch a little misch

ievous child mixing the two beverages. The child says that only one cup of the iced tea was taken and put in the lemonade. Then, the child took only one cup of the lemonade-tea mixture that was just created and put it back into the pitcher of iced tea, hoping that no one would notice what had been done. Is there now more lemonade in the iced tea or more iced tea in the lemonade?

Answer:

  Each pitcher has the same fraction of the other drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 cup of tea is added to x cups of lemonade, the mix has the ratio 1:x of tea to lemonade. So, the fraction of mix that is tea is 1/(x+1).

The 1 cup of mix contains 1/(x+1) cups of tea and so x/(x+1) cups of lemonade. When that amount of lemonade is added to the tea, it brings the proportion of lemonade in the tea to (x/(x+1))/x = 1/(x+1), the same proportion as that of tea in the lemonade.

_____

You can consider the degenerate case of one cup of drink in each pitcher. Then when the 1 cup of tea is removed from its pitcher and added to the lemonade, you have a 50-50 mix of tea and lemonade. Removing 1 cup of that mix and putting it back in the tea pitcher makes there be a 50-50 mix in both pitchers.

Increasing the quantity in each pitcher does nothing to change the fact that the mixes end up in the same ratio:

  tea:lemonade in Pitcher 1 = lemonade:tea in Pitcher 2

The radius of this ball is 15 inches. Which equation gives the ball's surface area, in square inches?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

\large\boxed{S.A.=4500\pi\ in^2\approx14130\ in^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a surface area of a ball (sphere):

S.A.=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3

R - radius

We have R = 15in. Substitute:

S.A.=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(15^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3375)=4500\pi\ in^2

If you want to get an approximation, then:

\pi\approx3.14\\\\S.A.\approx(4500)(3.14)=14130\ in^2

In order for a vaccine to be effective, it should reduce a person's chance of acquiring a disease. Consider a hypothetical vacci
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that Suppose the chance of contracting malaria is 10% for those who are not vaccinated ;   (since the value) is not given.

Thus;

If the vaccine has no effect, risk of malaria for vaccine and no vaccine are equal to 0.1

Probability of not getting malaria if vaccinated or no vaccinated = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

                          Malaria                No Malaria               Total

Vaccinated     100 * 0.1 = 10        100 * 0.9 = 90                         100

No Vaccine     200 * 0.1 = 20   200 * 0.9 = 180        300-100 = 200

Total                 20 + 10 = 30       90 + 180 = 270                       300

If the vaccine cuts the risk by half, risk of malaria for vaccinated are equal to 0.1/2 = 0.05

Probability of not getting malaria if vaccinated = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

                          Malaria                No Malaria               Total

Vaccinated     100 * 0.05 = 5         100 * 0.95 = 95                 100

No Vaccine     200 * 0.1 = 20   200 * 0.9 = 180        300-100 = 200

Total                 20 + 5 = 25       90 + 180 = 275                         300
