Melanie has a bag that contains orange chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. She performs an experiment. Melanie randomly remove

s a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Melanie performs the experiment 61 times. The results are shown below: A orange chew was selected 38 times. A cherry chew was selected 5 times. A peach chew was selected 18 times. Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Melanie removes from the bag will be peach chew as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of trials = 61

Number of orange chews = 38

Number of cherry chews = 5

Number of peach chews = 18

Probability that next chew removed will be a peach chew ;

This is an experimental probability problem ;

Using the relation :

Experimental probability of A;

Number of successes (A) / total number of trials

Hence, Probability that next chew removed will be a peach chew ;

Experimental probability of peach chew :

Number of trails = 61 ; number of successes (peach chew) = 18

P(peach chew) = 18 / 61

P( peach chew) = 0.2950819

= 0.30 ( nearest hundredth)

For what value of k, the zeroes of x2 + kx + 12 will differ by 1?
asambeis [7]

Let <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> be the zeroes of <em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 such that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1.

By the factor theorem, we can write the quadratic in terms of its zeroes as

<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) (<em>x</em> - <em>b</em>)

Expand the right side and equate the coefficients:

<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = <em>x</em>² - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>ab</em>

Then

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -<em>k</em>

<em>ab</em> = 12

The condition that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1 has two cases, so without loss of generality assume <em>a</em> > <em>b</em>, so that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>.

Then if <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = 1, we get <em>b</em> = <em>a</em> - 1. Substitute this into the equations above and solve for <em>k</em> :

<em>a</em> + (<em>a</em> - 1) = -<em>k</em>   →   2<em>a</em> = 1 - <em>k</em>   →   <em>a</em> = (1 - <em>k</em>)/2

<em>a</em> (<em>a</em> - 1) = 12   →   (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 • ((1 - <em>k</em>)/2 - 1) = 12

→   (1 - <em>k</em>)²/4 - (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 = 12

→   (1 - <em>k</em>)² - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48

→   (1 - 2<em>k</em> + <em>k</em>²) - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48

→   <em>k</em>² - 1 = 48

→   <em>k</em>² = 49

→   <em>k</em> = ± √(49) = ±7
