Suppose we have two bags with the numbers. Each bag has a total of 100 numbers. In the first bag there are 31 lucky numbers, in

the second bag there are 18 lucky numbers. We want to add one more bag with 100 numbers to decrease the probability that a randomly selected number from a random bag is the lucky number. How many lucky numbers should be in the third bag?

Answer:

There should be at most 24 lucky numbers in the third bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there are 200 numbers. Two bags with 100 each. There are 31+18 = 49 lucky numbers. So there is a 49/200 = 0.245 probability that a randomly selected number from a random bag is the lucky number.

Now with 300 numbers, we want this probability to be lower than 24.5%. So we should solve the following rule of three:

200 - 49

300 - x

200x = 300*49

x = 1.5*49

x = 73.5

With the third bag, the probability will be the same if 73.5-49 = 24.5 lucky numbers are added. So there should be at most 24 lucky numbers in the third bag.

For each function, do the following: a) state the name of the function, b) identify the independent and dependent variable, c) i
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Given the function in the question

f(x) = |x-3| + 2

a) state the name of the function

  Absolute value function

  since it is similar to f(x) = |x|

b) identify the independent and dependent variable  

x = independent variable (input variable)

f(x) or y = dependent variable  (output variable)

The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable,    and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on  the independent variable.

c) identify the rule

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x.

d) evaluate the function

given x = -5

 f(-5) = |-5 - 3| + 2

        = |-8| + 2

        = 8 +2

        = 10
