You have a bag of 63 candies you want to give to your 9 friends. The company that makes the candies guarantees that exactly 9 of

the candies in the bag are red, the most delicious color. Anyone who doesn't get a red candy will be so upset that they will stop being your friend! But the candies are in identical wrappings, so you are forced to give each friend 7 candies and hope for the best. What's the probability you lose one or more friends

Answer:

the probability you lose one or more friends is 0.9836

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

P( you lose one or more friend ) = 1 - P( keeping all friends )

Now, keeping all friends is possible only when each friend receives red candy.

As there are only 9 red candies and 9 friends, 1 red candy needs to be given to each friend out of 9 candies

Thus, total candies given = 63

and each friend will get 8 non red and 1 red candy

Thus, P( keeping all friends )

= [ ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ × ⁹C₁ ] / × ⁶³C₉

SO

⁹C₁  = 9!/(1!(9-1)!) = 9 and ⁴⁹C₇ = 63!/(9!(63-9)!)  = 23,667,689,815

so

P( keeping all friends ) = [ 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 ] / 23,667,689,815

P( keeping all friends ) = 387,420,489 / 23,667,689,815 = 0.016369

P( you lose one or more friend ) = 1 - P( keeping all friends )

P( you lose one or more friend ) = 1 - 0.016369

P( you lose one or more friend ) = 0.9836

Therefore, the probability you lose one or more friends is 0.9836

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) = 1/2(3)^x across the y-axis
aleksley [76]
They both have to be above the x axis, which makes B incorrect. B will be below the x axis. If you have a graphing calculator or know where there is one of the net, you can try it.

A and D are both wrong. The 1/2 does not become 2. What will happen is that 2 will make the graph wider.

There's only 1 answer left and that is
C <<<<<===== answer.
C reflects right across the y axis.

Foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona para uma criança com febre.Na unidade tem disponivel ampola de 1g/2ml.Quantos g vão ser admin
Valentin [98]

De acordo com a disponibilidade da unidade, há apenas a seguinte dosagem: 1g/2mL - ou seja, uma grama de dipirona a cada 2mL

O enunciado está meio mal formulado, pois é dito que foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona e é essa quantidade de farmaco que a criança tem que tomar. Deseja-se saber quantos mL deverao ser administrados.

Fazendo a classica regra de 3, podemos chegar no volume desejado:

(atentar que 500mg = 0,5g)

     g               mL

     1    ---------   2

    0,5  ---------  X    

1 . X = 0,5 . 2

<h3>X = 1mL</h3>
