After a late night of studying, Ebony decides to grab a latte before class so she can stay awake through her morning lecture. Sh

e has only a one-dollar bill, a five-dollar bill, and a ten-dollar bill in her wallet. She pulls one out and looks at it, but then she puts it back. Distracted by a flyer for a new campus organization, she randomly hands a bill from her wallet to the clerk. Construct a sample space, and find the probability that (a)Both bills have the same value. (b)The second bill is smaller than the first bill. (c)The value of each of the two bills is even. (d)The value of exactly two of the bills is odd. (e)The sum of the values of both bills is less than . Write your answers in exact, simplified form.

Answer:

P(Same\ Bill) = \frac{1}{3}

P(Second

P(Both\ Even) = \frac{1}{9}

Pr(One\ Odd) = \frac{4}{9}

P(Sum < 10) = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bills: \$1, \$5, \$10

Selection = 2\ bills

The sample space is as follows:

This implies that we construct possible outcome that Ebony selects a bill, returns the bill and then select another.

This means that there are possibilities that the same bill is selected twice.

So, the sample space is as follows:

S = \{(1,1), (1,5), (1,10), (5,1), (5,5), (5,10), (10,1), (10,5), (10,10)\}

n(S) = 9

Solving (a): P(Same\ Bill)

This means that the first and second bill selected are the same.

The outcome of this are:

Same = \{(1,1),(5,5),(10,10)\}

n(Same\ Bill) = 3

The probability is:

P(Same\ Bill) = \frac{n(Same\ Bill)}{n(S)}

P(Same\ Bill) = \frac{3}{9}

P(Same\ Bill) = \frac{1}{3}

Solving (a): P(Second  < First\ Bill)

This means that the second bill selected is less than the first.

The outcome of this are:

Second < First = \{(1,5), (1,10), (5,10)\}

n(Second < First) = 3

The probability is:

P(Second

P(Second

P(Second

Solving (c): P(Both\ Even)

This means that the first and the second bill are even

The outcome of this are:

Both\ Even = \{(10,10)\}

n(Both\ Even) = 1

The probability is:

P(Both\ Even) = \frac{n(Both\ Even)}{n(S)}

P(Both\ Even) = \frac{1}{9}

Solving (e): P(Sum < 10)

This question has missing details.

The correct question is to determine the probability that, the sum of both bills is less than 10

The outcome of this are:

One\ Odd = \{(1,10), (5,10), (10,1), (10,5)\}

n(One\ Odd) = 4

The probability is:

Pr(One\ Odd) = \frac{n(One\ Odd)}{n(S)}

Pr(One\ Odd) = \frac{4}{9}

 

Solving (d): P(One\ Odd)

This question has missing details.

The correct question is to determine the probability that, exactly one of the bills is 0dd

The outcome of this are:

Sum < 10 = \{(1,1), (1,5), (5,1)\}

n(Sum < 10) = 3

The probability is:

P(Sum < 10) = \frac{n(Sum < 10)}{n(S)}

P(Sum < 10) = \frac{3}{9}

P(Sum < 10) = \frac{1}{3}

1) A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 15 m 3 . The length of its base is four times the wid
My name is Ann [436]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) V = 4w²h

  b) SA = 4w² +10wh

  c) SA = 4w² +37.5/w

  d) C = 40w² +225/w

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant formulas are ...

  V = LWH

  base area = LW

  lateral area = H(2(L+W))

__

a) The length is 4 times the width, so the volume is ...

  V = (4w)(w)(h)

  V = 4w²h

__

b) The total surface area is the sum of the base area and the lateral area:

  SA = base area + lateral area

  SA = (4w)(w) + 2h(4w +w)

  SA = 4w² +10wh

__

c) The volume is 15 m³, so the height in meters in terms of the width in meters is ...

  15 = 4w²h

  h = 15/(4w²)

Then the surface area is ...

  SA = 4w² +10w(15/(4w²))

  SA = 4w² +37.5/w

__

d) The equation we have for surface area has one term for base area and a second term for lateral area. We can apply the cost factors to those terms to get the cost of materials:

  C = 10(4w²) +6(37.5/w)

  C = 40w² +225/w

Answer:

-1\frac{7}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions: \frac{-17}{8} ÷ \frac{5}{4}
  2. Apply the fractions formula for division: \frac{-17*4}{8*5} = \frac{-68}{40}
  3. Simplify: -1\frac{7}{10}

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

R = sqrt[(IWL)^2/(E^2 - I^2)] or R = -sqrt[(IWL)^2/(E^2 - I^2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Squaring both sides of equation:

     I^2 = (ER)^2/(R^2 + (WL)^2)

<=>(ER)^2 = (I^2)*(R^2 + (WL)^2)

<=>(ER)^2 - (IR)^2 = (IWL)^2

<=> R^2(E^2 - I^2) = (IWL)^2

<=> R^2 = (IWL)^2/(E^2 - I^2)

<=> R = sqrt[(IWL)^2/(E^2 - I^2)] or R = -sqrt[(IWL)^2/(E^2 - I^2)]

Hope this helps!
