<h3>Answer:     49/100</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are 7 dimes and 3 pennies, leading to 7+3 = 10 coins total.

The probability of not picking a penny is 7/10. If the first coin is put back, then the probability doesn't change for the second selection.

The probability of getting two dimes is (7/10)*(7/10) = 49/100 when the first coin is replaced.

If the first coin is not replaced, then the answer would be (7/10)*(6/9) = 42/90 = 7/15

A coin has one of two outcomes: heads or tails.
Each has an equal probability of occurring, meaning that they each have a 50% chance to occur. (They need to add up to 100% because they include all the outcomes, divide that into two equal parts and...)

This is what we call theoretical probability. It's a guess as to how probability <em>should</em> work. Like in the experiment, it's not always going to be 50-50.

What <em>actually happens</em> is called experimental probability. This may vary slightly from theoretical probability because you can't predict probability with complete certainty, you can only say what is <em>most likely to happen</em>.

We want to find the probability of getting heads in our experiment so we can compare it to the theoretical outcome. To do this, we need to compare the number of heads to the total number of outcomes.

We have 63 heads, and a total of 150 coin flips.
That makes the probability of getting a heads 63/150.
The hard part is getting this ratio into a percent.

You can try simply dividing, but you should be able to notice something here.
SInce the top and the bottom of our fraction are both divisible by 3, we can <em>simiplify</em>.
63 ÷ 3 = 21
150 ÷ 3 = 50
So we could say that 63/150 = 21/50.

A percent is basically a fraction out of 100.
Just like you can divide the parts of a ratio by the same number and it will stay the same, you can also multiply. To get the fraction out of 100, let's multiply by 2.
(since 50 × 2 = 100)

21 × 2 = 42
50 × 2 = 100
21/50 = 42/100 = 42%

Comparing our experimental probability to the theoretical one...it is 8% lower.

Monica sells lemonade over the summer and uses conical paper cups to serve
Alina [70]

Answer: She would need 206 paper cups.

Step-by-step explanation: First of all, Monica has a 10-gallon container full of lemonade and this translates into 37850 cubic centimetres volume of lemonade. The conversion rate has been provided as one gallon equals 3785 cubic centimetres, therefore ten gallons would be 3785 times ten which gives you 37,850 cubic centimetres of lemonade.

Each cone shaped paper cup has a diameter measuring 8 centimetres and 11 centimetres in height. The radius of the cone shaped cup therefore is 4 centimetres (radius equals diameter divided by two). The volume of each cup therefore is given as;

Volume of a cone = (πr²h)/3

Volume of a cone = (3.14 * 4² * 11)/3

Volume of a cone = 552.64/3

Volume of a cone = 184.2

If each cone could hold 184 cubic centimetres of lemonade, then the entire ten gallons would require the following number of cone shaped cups;

Number of cups = Total volume/Volume of a cup

Number of cups = 37850/184.2

Number of cups = 205.48

Rounded to the nearest whole number, this becomes

Number of cups ≈ 206

Therefore Monica would need 206 cone shaped paper cups to empty the entire 10 gallons of lemonade.

stellarik [79]
So to add fractions they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 24. then multiply 1 by 4 and 5 by 3 because whatever you multiply the denominator by you need to do the same to the numerator, which will get you 4/24+15/24 then you add across the numerators and you get 19/24

A manufacturer of televisions subjects the equipment to a comprehensive testing process for all essential functions before the t
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The probability is   P(X \le 9) =0.9138

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The probability of the television passing the test is  p = 0.95

    The sample size is  n  =  10

Generally the comprehensive testing process for all essential functions  follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators      

    Generally the probability that at least 9 pass the test is mathematically represented as

     P(X \le 9) =  P(X = 9) + P(X = 10 )

=>  P(X \le 9) = [^{10}C_9 *  (0.95)^9 *  (1- 0.95)^{10-9}]+ [^{10}C_{10} *  {0.95}^{10} *  (1- 0.95)^{10-10}]

=> P(X \le 9) = [10 *  0.6302  * 0.05 ]+ [1 *0.5987 * 1 ]

=> P(X \le 9) =0.9138
