1 ton = 2000 pounds. 2 tons is 4000 pounds. 4000 divided by 10 = 400 crates
Hope this helps

50 multiply 2000 by 2 then divide by 8 x10

What is the value of this expression?<br><br> 27+4×(8−4)

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the value inside the parentheses. That would be 8-4, which is 4.

Now, use the rule of Pedmas, or Bedmas, whatever you prefer. That is Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, addition, subtraction. So, now you have the equation:

27 + 4 x 4.

You would multiply before addition, as shown above, so you would get:

27 + 16

which would equal:

43.

Which expression is equivalent to ^3 square root 343 x^9 v^12 z^6?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

$\sqrt[3]{343x^9v^{12}z^6}=\sqrt[3]{343}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x^{3\cdot3}}\cdot\sqrt[3]{v^{4\cdot3}}\cdot\sqrt[3]{z^{2\cdot3}}\\\\=\sqrt[3]{7^3}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(x^3)^3}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(v^4)^3}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(z^2)^3}=7x^3v^4z^2\\\\Used:\\\\\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a$

The Slow Ball Challenge or The Fast Ball Challenge.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 7$

$P(Hit) = 80\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Fast Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 3$

$P(Hit) = 70\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 7$ --- pitches

$x = 7$ --- all hits

$p = 80\% = 0.80$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

$P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(7) =0.2097152$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.2097152$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152$

$P(Lose) = 0.7902848$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 3$ --- pitches

$x = 3$ --- all hits

$p = 70\% = 0.70$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(3) =0.343$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.343$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343$

$P(Lose) = 0.657$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$27.15$

So, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$ -- Slow ball

$Expected = \$27.15$ --- Fast ball

<em>The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.</em>
