In one round of a television game show, five questions are asked. The second question is worth twice as much as the first. The t

hird question is worth three times as much as the second. The fourth question is worth four times as much as the third. The fifth question is worth five times as much as the fourth. If the fifth question is worth $12,000, what is the first question worth?

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

1st q. 2nd q. 3rd q. 4th q. 5th q

x. 2x. 3(2x)=6x. 4(6x)=24x. 5(24x)=120x

100. 200. 600. 2400. 12000

since the 5th q was worth 12000 we know:

120x = 12000

x = 100

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits. The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, and the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each integrated circuit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The integrated circuits are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which 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)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits.

This means that n = 48

The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01.

This means that p = 0.01

The product operates only if there are no defective integrated circuits. What is the probability that the product operates?

This is P(X = 0). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{48,0}.(0.01)^{0}.(0.99)^{48} = 0.6173

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.

A total of 632 adults and children are at a water park. There are 68 fewer adults than children at the water park. How many chil
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<h2>350 children</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Number of adults

x + x + 68 = 632

2x = 632 -  68

2x = 564

x = 282

282 + 68 = 350

350 children.

We can always check.

282 + 350 =

It equals 632, so we know our answer is correct.
