Answer:
a) 0.75
b) 0.0625
c) 0.1875
d) 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by first finding the probability a teacher orders 6 boxes. Since it is a four sided dice, the probability of getting a 1 is going to be 0.25.
Similarly, for any other number on the dice, the teacher orders 2 boxes. We can think of this as NOT rolling a 1. Using our previous answer, this comes out to be: 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
It should be remembered in the following answers that teachers ordering 6 or 2 boxes are not influenced by the results of other teachers. These are statistically independent events.
a) As given above, this probability is 0.75
b) The probability that both teachers order 6 boxes will be their individual probabilities multiplied. This comes out to be: 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625
c) Like in part (b), this is both of their probabilities multiplied:
0.25 x 0.75 = 0.1875
d) This is nearly the same as part (c), but with a little twist. The order matters. There are two scenarios:
- First teacher gets 6 boxes, and the second gets 2.
- First teacher gets 2 boxes, and the second gets 2.
Both of these events have a probability of 0.1875, as shown in (c). To get the total probability of this event happening, we must add these together:
0.1875 + 0.1875 = 0.375
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
you basically just simplify the exponents first, and then simplify from there.
Answer:
544
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of cartons are ...
B : P = 2 : 1
S : L = 2 : 1
L : B = 2 : 1
Combining these into a single set of ratios, we have ...
S : L : B : P = 8 : 4 : 2 : 1
Then the proportion of the order that is strawberry is ...
8/(8+4+2+1) = 8/15
and the number of strawberry cartons is ...
(8/15)·1020 = 544
The store ordered 544 cartons of strawberry yogurt.
Answer:
61 , 63 , 65 , 67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256
First, simplify. Combine all like terms:
x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256
4x + 12 = 256
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)
4x = 256 - 12
4x = 144
Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:
(4x)/4 = (144)/4
x = 144/4
x = 61
61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:
x = 61
x + 2 = 63
x + 4 = 65
x + 6 = 67
Check:
61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256
256 = 256

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 6 = 3(x + 5)
y - 6 = 3x + 15
y = 3x + 21
