2 3/8 - 1 7/8
Change to improper fractions
19/8 - 15/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

If these are mixed numbers, which I believe they are from the context, then the first step is to convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
2 = 16/8 (sixteen eighths)
16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8
1 = 8/8 (eight eighths)
8/8 + 7/8 = 16/8
Then just subtract these improper fractions:
When subtracting fractions, only subtract the numerators.
19/8 - 16/8 = 3/8 (three eighths)
So the answer is three eighths (3/8)

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107

Then,

P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366

Please help for online school
Stels [109]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that the one triangle can be divided into two equal right triangles.  Because of this, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.  a and b are the two sides of the angles, and c is the hypotenuse.

The given lengths are 5 as the hypotenuse and 3 as one length.  (You have 3 as a given length because the two triangles have a length of 6  on one side.  6/2 = 3)

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 5² - 3²

a² = 25² - 9²

a² = 16

a = 4

If $5,000 is borrowed with an interest of 12.3% compounded semi-annually, what is the total amount of money needed to pay it bac
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

$7153.03

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount after 3 years, we can use the formula for compound tax:

P = Po * (1+r/n)^(t*n)

where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate, t is the amount of time and n depends on how the tax is compounded (in this case, it is semi-annually, so n = 2)

For our problem, we have that Po = 5000, r = 12.3% = 0.123, t = 3 years and n = 2, then we can calculate P:

P = 5000 * (1 + 0.123/2)^(3*2)

P = 5000 * (1 + 0.0615)^6

P = $7153.029

Rounding to the nearest cent, we have P = $7153.03
