The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.

A password has to use the following format: LDDDDLLL, where L can be any of the upper case letters in the alphabet, and D can be
maw [93]

Answer:

Only vowels and odd numbers:

P = \frac{5}{26} *\frac{4}{25}* \frac{3}{24}* \frac{2}{23} *\frac{5}{10}* \frac{4}{9} *\frac{3}{8} *\frac{2}{7}

Spells math:

P = \frac{1}{26} *\frac{1}{25}* \frac{1}{24}* \frac{1}{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have four letters, so the probability that one letter is a vowel is 5/26 (we have 5 vowels in a total of 26 letters), then the second letter has a probability of 4/25 of being a vowel (1 vowel used), and so on (third letter being vowel = 3/24 and fourth letter being vowel = 2/23)

Then, for the digits, we do the same, one digits has 5/10 probability of being odd, then the second digit has 4/9, the third has 3/8 and the fourth has 2/7.

So the final probability would be:

P = \frac{5}{26} *\frac{4}{25}* \frac{3}{24}* \frac{2}{23} *\frac{5}{10}* \frac{4}{9} *\frac{3}{8} *\frac{2}{7}

To find the probability that the password spells the word “MATH", each letter has to be a specific letter, so the first letter has 1/26 probability, the second has 1/25, and so on:

P = \frac{1}{26} *\frac{1}{25}* \frac{1}{24}* \frac{1}{23}

A group consists of seven men and five women. Three people are selected to attend a conference.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) 220

b) 10

c) 4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the people are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

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)!}

a. In how many ways can three people be selected from this group of twelve?

C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

b. In how many ways can three women be selected from the five women?

Three women, from a set of 5. So

C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

c. Find the probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Desired outcomes:

3 women from a set of 4. So

D = C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

3 people, from a set of 12. So

T = C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{220} = 0.0455

4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Hi. Please I need help with these questions.

Answer:

  8. 4 +2q²/p² -4r/p +r²/p²

  9. (x, y) = (3/4, -17/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these questions are asking you to make use of the fact that ...

  α + β = -q/p

  αβ = r/p

__

8. (2 +α²)(2 +β²) = 4 + 2(α² +β²) +α²β²

  = 4 +2((α+β)² -2αβ) +(αβ)²

Substituting the above for the sum and product, you have ...

  = 4 + 2((-q/p)² -2(r/p)) +(r/p)²

  = 4 +2q²/p² -4r/p +r²/p²

__

9. This is asking for the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate is ...

  x=-b/(2a) = -(-3)/(2(2) = 3/4

Then the y-coordinate is ...

  y = (2(3/4) -3)(3/4) -1 = (-3/2)(3/4) -1 = -9/8 -1 = -17/8

The (x, y) values of interest are (3/4, -17/8).
