Answer:

<h2>She would have 36 bags of 5 pounds each.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

  • Ms. Sack buys 272 pounds of potatoes for $99.
  • She makes 9 bags of 10 pounds each.
  • The rest is in 5 pound bags.
  • How many 5 pounds bags she will have?

If she made 9 bags of 10 pounds each that would be 9(10)=90 pounds in total. So, there's 272-90=182 pounds remaining.

Those 182 pounds she wants to divide in groups of 5 pounds, that would be 182/5=36.4 bags. This means that she would have 36 bags of 5 pounds each.

Therefore, she would have 36 bags of 5 pounds each.

99*2=$198
10*9=90
272-90=182/5=36.5

Ayo runs a fairground game.In each turn, a player rolls a fair dice numbered 1 - 6 and spins a fair spinner numbered 1 - 12.It c
aksik [14]

Using the definition of expected value, it is found that Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

The <em>expected value</em> is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.</u>

In this problem:

  • The player wins $6, that is, Ayo loses £6, if he rolls a 6 and spins a 1, hence the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{72}.
  • The player wins $3, that is, Ayo loses £3, if he rolls a 3 on at least one of the spinner or the dice, hence, considering three cases(both and either the spinner of the dice), the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 + 11 + 5}{72} = \frac{17}{72}
  • In the other cases, Ayo wins £1.40, with 1 - \frac{18}{72} = \frac{54}{72} probability.

Hence, his expected profit for a single game is:

E(X) = -6\frac{1}{72} - 3\frac{17}{72} + 1.4\frac{54}{72} = \frac{-6 - 3(17) + 54(1.4)}{72} = 0.2583

For 216 games, the expected value is:

E = 216(0.2583) = 55.8

Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

Will give brainliest to right answer please help!! 15 points -A sample of a radioactive isotope had an initial mass of 370 mg
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

78 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

370 mg - 110 mg = 260 mg (amount decayed in the 8 total years)

260 mg ÷ 8 years = 32.5 mg decayed per year

32.5 × 9 years (years between 2008 and 2017) = 292.5 mg

370 mg - 292.5 mg = 77.5 mg, rounded to 78 mg
