Answer:

The conversion from kilograms to ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Kilograms to ounce

The question had stated that there exists a certain amount of grams in ounce and also a certain amount of pounds in a kilogram. The error of Miriam most likely came from conversion error. She probably did a ounces to kilograms conversion, instead of a kilograms to ounces conversion that was asked of her.

So, conversion error

A computer program contains one error. In order to find the error, we split the program into 6 blocks and test two of them, sele
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
There are \dbinom62 ways of selecting two of the six blocks at random. The probability that one of them contains an error is

\dfrac{\dbinom11\dbinom51}{\dbinom62}=\dfrac5{15}=\dfrac13

So X has probability mass function

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac13&\text{for }x=1\\\\\dfrac23&\text{for }x=0\end{cases}

These are the only two cases since there is only one error known to exist in the code; any two blocks of code chosen at random must either contain the error or not.

The expected value of finding an error is then

\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^1xf_X(x)=0\times\dfrac23+1\times\dfrac13=\dfrac13

A farm stand sold 12 ears of corn for $4. The farm stand sold 180 ears of corn at the same rate.
Scorpion4ik [409]
Divide 4 by 12, which equals approximately 0.33333, then multiply that to 180, which gives us 60. So she sold 180 ears of corn for $60.

6x+12y+5+2y+8 what’s the coefficient of y and what’s the constant
Rudik [331]

The coefficient of y is 14 and the constant is 13.

You can find this by combining like terms first.

6x + 12y + 5 + 2y + 8

6x + 14y + 5 + 8

6x + 14y + 13

Now the coefficient is the number next to y. The constant is the number on its own.

A Square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches.The area of the result
LekaFEV [45]

Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square.  The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.

The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods.  Let's rewrite this equation in standard form:  s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:

s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0.  This factors as follows:  (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6.  Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative.  Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
