A card is picked up at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that it is a king or queen.

1 answer:

3 0

Total number of cards = 52
Total number of kings or queens = 8

P(King or Queen) = 8/52 = 2/13

(a) Using Newton's Law of Cooling, $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - T_s)$ , we have $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - 75)$ where T is temperature after T minutes.
Separate by dividing both sides by T - 75 to get $\dfrac{dT}{T - 75} = k dt$ . Integrate both sides to get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + C$ .

Since $T(0) = 185$ , we solve for C:
$|185 - 75| = k(0) + C\ \Rightarrow\ C = \ln 110$
So we get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110$ . Use T(30) = 150 to solve for k:
$\ln| 150 - 75 | = 30k + \ln 110\ \Rightarrow\ \ln 75 - \ln 110= 30k \Rightarrow \\ k= \frac{1}{30}\ln (75/110) = \frac{1}{30}\ln(15/22)$

So

$\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110 \Rightarrow |T - 75| = e^{kt + \ln110} \Rightarrow \\ \\
|T - 75| = 110e^{kt} \Rightarrow T - 75 = \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \Rightarrow \\
T = 75 \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t}$

But choose Positive because T > 75. Temp of turkey can't go under.

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \\
T(45) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)(45)} = 136.929 \approx 137{}^{\circ}F$

(b)

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
100 = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
25 = 110(15/22)^{t/30} 
\frac{25}{110} = (15/22)^{t/30} \\
\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) = t/30 \\
t = 30\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) \approx 116\ \mathrm{min}$

Trisha packs x boxes with 12 bottles in each box. The total number of bottles she packs is 216. Which equation and solution repr

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Number of boxes Trisha pack = 18 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of boxes Trisha pack = X

Number of bottles in each box = 12

Total number of bottle = 216

Find:

Number of boxes Trisha pack

Computation:

Total number of bottle = Number of boxes Trisha pack x Number of bottles in each box

216 = X × 12

X = 216 / 12

X = 18

Number of boxes Trisha pack = 18 boxes
