A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water

and tap water. Each participant will taste the water from two different glasses and then identify which glass he or she thinks contains the tap water. Assuming that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, what is the probability that at least 8 of the 9 people will correctly identify the tap water?

Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{256}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, then the probability of identifying tap water is 0.5

Thus, P(identify tap water)=0.5

The probability that at least 8 of the 9 people identify the tap water correctly is the sum of the probabilities

  • 8 of 9 people identified correctly or
  • 9 of 9 people identified correctly

Since P(identify tap water)=0.5 each probabilities are the same and equal to

0.5^9 =\frac{1}{512}

So we have 2*\frac{1}{512} = \frac{1}{256}

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. Round the solution to the nearest tenth as needed. Y + 2.3 = 0.45x and -2y = 4
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(2.4, -1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by moving the x and the y to the same side and moving the number across the equal sign in both equations. We should now have y-0.45x=-2.3 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. We can use the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by -2 to get -2y+0.9x=4.6 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. From there, add the two equations together, eliminating y (-2+2=0). We now have 5.1x=12.4; divide both sides by 5.1 to get x=2.4. Then, in any of the two equations, let's use y-0.45x=-2.3, substitute x with 2.4. Now we have y-1.08=-2.3. Add 1.08 to both sides to get y=-1.22; round that to the nearest tenth to get -1.2.

James works at a grocery store. He makes $6.20 per hour and works 30 hours each week. How much money will james make in a 4-week
lara31 [8.8K]

It is a very simple question to answer.

Obviously first we can calculate his weekly earnings and then multiply them by 4 to calculate his total earnings over the course of 4 year period.

So as he makes 6.2$ an hour. He will make 6.2 * 30 = 186 $ a week as that is the number of hours he works in a week.

Now we can multiply this by 4 to calculate his over all earnings. So 186 * 4 = 744.
