Answer:

40 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

To make it easier, I'm gonna divide 15 by 3 and then multiply it by 2. Same with 6.

10% of candy = 4 pieces.

Multiply by 10

100% of candy = 40 pieces.

Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to fi

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

P(X = 12) = 0.0064.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 30, p = 0.2$

We want P(X = 12). So

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

$P(X = 12) = C_{30,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.0064$

P(X = 12) = 0.0064.

A dealer sold a car to a man and made

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

<u>110.000</u>

<u></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling at a loss of 5% means it was sold for 95% of its purchase value.

If 120.175 equals to 95% then 100%(the purchase value) is 126.500.

120.175/95*100 = 126.500 (plenty of other ways to calculate this, but this is one of the easiest)

So now we change to the dealer's perspective, he sold the car for 126.500 and for him that meant a 15% profit. If the purchase value is 100%, then the sale value is 115% (purchase value+15% profit)

Calculate the purchase value:

126.500/115*100 = 110.000

The dealer bought the car for 110.000, sold it for 126.500, so he made a profit of 16.500 (126.500-110.000) which is a 15% profit (15% of 110.000 is 16.500).

What is the multiple zero and multiplicity of f(x) = x3 + 10x2 + 25x?

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The multiple zero is $x=-5$ .

The multiplicity is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=x^3+10x^2+25x$

To find the zero of this function, we equate it to zero.

$\Rightarrow x^3+10x^2+25x=0$

We factor to obtain;

$x(x^2+10x+25)=0$

Observe that; the expression within the parenthesis is a perfect square.

This implies that;

$x(x+5)^2=0$

This implies that;

Either $x=0$ or $(x+5)^2=0$

$(x+5)^2=0$ has a multiple zero which is

$x=-5$ and its multplicity is 2.
