The amount of blue color in the green paint is an illustration of ratios and proportions.

Cheryl's green paint has more blue color

The proportion of blue color is calculated as:

\mathbf{Proportion = \frac{Blue}{Blue+ Yellow}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Cheryl= \frac{16}{16+ 24}}

\mathbf{Cheryl= \frac{16}{40}}

\mathbf{Cheryl= 0.40}

Express as percentage

\mathbf{Cheryl= 40\%}

\mathbf{Rodney= \frac{6}{6+ 10}}

\mathbf{Rodney= \frac{6}{16}}

\mathbf{Rodney= 0.375}

Express as percentage

\mathbf{Rodney= 37.5\%}

By comparison: 40% >37.5%

Hence, Cheryl's green paint has more blue color

You are offered the following gamble based on coin flips. If the first heads occurs on the first flip, you get $2. If the first
Andrews [41]

Answer:

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity

i.e

expected value = \frac{1}{2}*2 +  \frac{1}{4}*4 +  \frac{1}{8}*8 + \frac{1}{16}*16 + ... + \to  \infty (infinty) \\

= 1+1+1+1+1 + ... = \infty

b)

When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.

What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?

These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.

Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is  very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.

Solve 3(a + 3) – 6 = 21.
tester [92]

Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

A brass ornament has a volume of 24cm^3.
dedylja [7]

For this case we have that by definition, the density is given by:

d = \frac {M} {V}

Where:

M: It is the mass

V: It is the volume

According to the data of the statement we have:

V = 24 \ cm ^ 3\\d = 8.7 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}

So, the mass is given by:

M = d * V\\M = 24 \ cm ^ 3 * 8.7 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}\\M = 208.8 \ g

Thus, the mass of the brass ornament is208.8 \ g

Answer:

208.8 \ g
