Answer:

21 consonant tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry has a bag containing 39 letter tiles, some consonants, and some vowels.

He selects a tile without looking and then replaces it. If he pulls 7 consonant tiles and 6 vowel tiles, which is the most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag?

Step 1

We add up the number of tiles that he pulls out of the bag

= 7 consonant tiles + 6 vowel tiles

= 13 tiles

Step 2

We divide the total number of tiles in the bag by the total number of tiles that was pulled out of the bag

= 39 tiles ÷ 13 tiles

= 3

Step 3

The most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag is calculated as:

3 × The number of consonant tiles that was pulled out of the bag.

Hence:

3 × 7 consonant tiles

= 21 consonant tiles.

Therefore, the most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag is 21 consonant tiles.

padilas [110]

Answer:0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= 188, Std Dev. =20.8, Z=(x-mean)/Std Dev

P(X less than 167.2)= P(Z less than (167.2-188)/20.8)

=P(Z less than (-20.8/20.8))

=P(z less than -1)= P(Z less 1)

The value of 1 in the normal distribution table is 0.3413

So we add 0.5 to 0.3413 =0.8413

These are the first sentences in the short story, "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry:
Aleonysh [2.5K]

I think the answer to this is: 25q + 10d + 5n + 60 = 87

The story says that you have 1 dollar and 87 cents; 60 cents of which is pennies. So, if you’re using an equation involving quarters, dimes and nickels, the total equation should equal to 87 cents (since that dollar bill could not be broken down to cents).
