Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation: The easiest approach is to realize that one hour is 3 times longer than

20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave

Find the volume of the region bounded above by the paraboloid z equals 3 x squared plus y squared and below by the square R: min

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

V=5.333cubit unit

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem question, we are required to evaluate the volume of the region bounded by the paraboloid z = f(x, y) = 3x² + y² and the square r: -1≤ x ≤ 1, -1 ≤ y ≤ 1

The question can be interpreted as z = f(x, y) = 3x² + y² and the square r: -1≤ x ≤ 1, -1 ≤ y ≤ 1 and we are told to evaluate the volume of the region bounded by the given paraboloid z

The volume V of integral evaluated along the limits of x and y for the 2-D figure, can be evaluated using the expression below

V = ∫∫ f(x, y) dx dy then we can now substitute and integrate accordingly.

Suppose we have three urns, namely, A B and C. A has 3 black balls and 7 white balls. B has 7 black balls and 13 white balls. C

professor190 [17]

Answer:

a. 11/25

b. 11/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed as follows;

From the question, we have the following information;

Three urns A, B and C contains ( 3 black balls 7 white balls), (7 black balls and 13 white balls) and (12 black balls and 8 white balls) respectively.

Now,

Since events of choosing urn A, B and C are denoted by Ai , i=1, 2, 3

Then , P(A1 + P(A2) +P(A3) =1 ....(1)

And P(A1):P(A2):P(A3) = 1: 2: 2 (given) ....(2)

Let P(A1) = x, then using equation (2)

P(A2) = 2x and P(A3) = 2x

(from the ratio given in the question)

Substituting these values in equation (1), we get

x+ 2x + 2x =1

Or 5x =1

Or x =1/5

So, P(A1) =x =1/5 , ....(3)

P(A2) = 2x= 2/5 and ....(4)

P(A3) = 2x= 2/5 ...(5)

Also urns A, B and C has total balls = 10, 20 , 20 respectively.

Now, if we choose one urn and then pick up 2 balls randomly then;

(a) Probability that the first ball is black

=P(A1)×P(Back ball from urn A) +P(A2)×P(Black ball from urn B) + P(A3)×P(Black ball from urn C)

= (1/5)×(3/10) + (2/5)×(7/20) + (2/5)×(12/20)

= (3/50) + (7/50) + (12/50)

=22/50

=11/25

(b) The Probability that the first ball is black given that the second ball is white is same as the probability that first ball is black (11/25). This is because the event of picking of first ball is independent of the event of picking of second ball.

Although the event picking of the second ball is dependent on the event of picking the first ball.

Hence, probability that the first ball is black given that the second ball is white is 11/25

a movie theater has 24 screens. the ratio of action films to other films is 1:2 in the summer. how many action films are shown?

stiv31 [10]

12 action films are shown.
This is because if the ratio is 1:2, that means that exactly half of the total amount of movies are action. Thus, to evaluate this problem, you would find half of 24.
$24 \div 2 = 12$
