To divide by three you have to put it on the outside of the box.

For example:
Sophie has 6 cookies. She wants to separate them into 3 groups.

I've attached a picture for you explaining the steps. :) Let me know if you need more help!

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

$P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107$

Then,

$P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007$

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

$P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924$

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

$P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366$

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies. How many cups will Sam use to make five batches. Write your answer in two ways. Impro

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Improper fraction = 10/3 cups

Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies

Rate = 2/3 cup per batch

To make 5 batches, he would need;

Amount = number of batches × rate per batch

Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch

Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should

xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8
