Answer:
About 41.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given:</em>
<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape.</em>
<em>To Find:</em>
<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>
<em>Answer choices:</em>
<em>about 39.7%</em>
<em>about 41.5%</em>
<em>about 42.5%</em>
<em>about 44.5%</em>
<em>Solution:</em>
<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 .</em>
<em>As the red grapes are 15..</em>
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>
<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>
<em>The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>
<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>
<em>15/23×14/22</em>
<em>=105/253</em>
<em>=0.415</em>
<em>= 41.5%</em>
<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>
Answer: A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth equation: 
, where A=Initial value, r= growth rate. (i)
Given: A bacteria sample can be modeled by the function 
which gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days.
Here, 
Compare this equation to (i) , we get A = 350 and r= 0.20 = 20% (growth rate)
So, the best interpretation of one of the values in this function are:
A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.
Answer:
x = -6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute -4 on the left side of the equation first, then distribute 2 on the right side of the equation to get:
16x - 4 - 4x = 2x - 14 - 2
combine 'like terms':
12x - 4 = 2x - 16
subtract '2x' from each side to get:
10x - 4 = -16
add 4 to each side to get:
10x = -12
x = -12/10 or x = -6/5
Answer:
$32.30 each week
Step-by-step explanation:
Deposit = 15% = $34.20
⇒ total cost of camp = (34.20 ÷ 15) x 100 = $228
Balance left after deposit = 228 - 34.20 = $193.80
If paying the remaining balance in 6 weekly installments,
⇒ weekly payment = 193.80 ÷ 6 = $32.30
