Answer:

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Explanation:

 Price of pen = 2 $

 Price of pencil = 1 $

 Total money spent = 12 $

 Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

  2 a + b = 12   -----------------------------------Equation 1

 We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

   a - b = 3   --------------------------------------  Equation 2

  Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

           2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                 3a = 15

                   a = 5

   Substituting in  equation 2

                 5 - b = 3

                b = 2

    Number pencils Ava bought = 2

The first five multiples of 9 are 9 18 27 36 45 I hope that's what you mean.

The prime factors of 9 and 12 are

9: 3 * 3

12: 3 * 2 * 2

The LCM is 3*3*2*2 is 36

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 18, meaning that among
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b) The value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c) The value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d) The event is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of households watching the show.

The probability of the random variable <em>x</em> is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The sample selected for the survey is of size, <em>n</em> = 14

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 14 and <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is computed using the formula:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability that none of the households are tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P(X=0)={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}=1\times1\times0.06214=0.062

Thus, the value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             =1-0.062\\=0.938

Thus, the value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c)

Compute the probability that at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

             ={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}+{14\choose 1}(0.18)^{1}(1-0.18)^{14-1}\\=0.062+0.191\\=0.253

Thus, the value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d)

An event that has a very low probability of occurrence is known as an unusual event.

The probability of the event "at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan" is 0.253.

This probability value is not low.

Hence, the event is not unusual.

The volume of a sphere can be found using the formula V = πr . If the sphere has a diameter of 10x y z mm, what is the volume of
viva [34]

Answer:

<em>500πx³y³z³ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere = 4πr³

r is the radius of the sphere

Given

Diameter of the sphere = 10xyz mm

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 10xyz/2

Radius = 5xyz

Substitute the radius into the formula

Volume of the sphere = 4π(5xyz)³

Volume of the sphere = = 4π(125)x³y³z³

Volume of the sphere = 500πx³y³z³

<em>Hence the volume of the sphere is 500πx³y³z³ mm³</em>
