we simply divide the 3/4 by the 8 students.


\bf \cfrac{3}{4}\div 8\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\div \cfrac{8}{1}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{32}

Each student gets 1/8 of the cake.

we multiply 1/8 and 3/4. To do that we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. This gives (1*3)/(8*4) =3/32 of the cake

4. Assume that the chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4 and the probability of hitting a free-throw is
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 3-pointer shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player makes it, or the player does not. The same is valid for free throws. This means that both the number of 3-pointers and free throws made are given by binomial distributions.

Since 3-pointers and free throws are independent, first we find the probability of making exactly 3 3-pointers out of 10, then the probability of making exactly 5 free throws out of 10, and then the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws is the multiplication of these probabilities.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of making 3 3-pointers out of 10:

The chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4, which means that p = 0.4. So this is P(X = 3) when n = 10.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.21499

Probability of making 5 free throws out of 10:

The probability of hitting a free-throw is 0.65, which means that p = 0.65. The probability is P(X = 5) when n = 10.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{10,5}.(0.65)^{5}.(0.35)^{5} = 0.15357

Calculate the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

0.21499*0.15537 = 0.0334

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

What's X? to: <br> 15x - 7x = (-52) - 5x
Studentka2010 [4]
-4

Because 15x-7x= 8x
8x+5x= 13x
13x= -52
-52 / 13= -4
x = -4

Create a system of equations to represent the word problem. Then solve using the linear combination/elimination method. Show all
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Solution given:

model A printers [a] prints=80books per day

model B printers [b] prints=55books per day

total no of printers =9

no of model A printers be x

and

no of model B printers be [9-x]

According to the question;

ax+(9-x)b=670 books

substituting value of a and b; we get

80x+(9-x)55=670

80x-55x+495=670

25x=670-495=175

x=\frac{175}{25}=7

So;

no of model A printers =x=<u>7</u>

no of model B printers =9-x=9-7=<u>2</u>

<u>is</u><u> </u><u>your</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u>.</u>
