Answer:

Kate = 52 seconds, Alexia = 58 seconds, Trina = 49 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A = K + 6

T = K - 3

K + A + T = 2 min 39 sec or 159 sec

K + (K + 6) + (K - 3) = 159sec

3K + 3 = 159sec

3K = 156sec

K = 52 sec

A = 52 + 6 = 58 sec

T = 52 - 3 = 49 sec

Tristen is building 3 trophies using Legos. He needs 324 total Legos. Tristen uses 220 Legos for the largest trophy and 135 Lego
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 166

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of trophies = 3

Total Legos required for all trophies = 324

Number of Legos for largest trophy(A) = 220

Number of Legos for smallest trophy(B) = 135

Number of Legos required for final trophy(C)

=?

Total Legos = [Number of Legos for largest trophy(A) + Number of Legos for smallest trophy(B) + Number of Legos required for final trophy(C)]

324 = 220 +135 + C

324 = 355 + C

324 - 355 = C

-31 = C

135 + 31 = 166

Brandon has 32 stamps. he wants to display the stamps in rows,with the same n
AleksandrR [38]
Okay, let's work this out...
What we know:
-32 stamps in all
- rows (horizontal)
- same # in each
What we "want to know" :
- # of combinations (different)
Problem Solving :
This is actually very easy its just the words than get ya!
1st : we need to figure out the factors of 32...
In other words, we need to figure out _x_=32 and how many different combinations and ways there are!
Note:(* means multiplication)
#1: What are the factors of 32?
32: 1*32 , 2*16 , 4*8
32: 32*1 , 16*2 , 8*4
The factors (not including 1 are 2,4,8,16)
Now, as you can see, there are 4 ways to get 32 as shown first.
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
^
That ¦ is 1 way with 16 in 2 rows. Basic multiplication, 16*2=32 or 16+16=32.
But, this is also a way,
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
Now there should be 2 in each row and 16 rows. Again 2*16=32 or 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=32
That's two ways so far.
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
Another way which is 4 rows with 8 in each.
4*8=32 or 8+8+8+8=32
But, this is also a way,
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
Now that is 8 rows with 4 in each. 8*4=32 or 4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=32
That was our fourth way.
Again NOT including 1. If you include 1 then there will be 6 ways but aside from that there are 4 ways.
I hope that helped I worked hard typing this all for you. Any questions just ask!

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it contains a golden sheet of paper, or it does not. The probability of a container containing a golden sheet of paper is independent of other containers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper containers.

This means that p = 0.3

14 of these containers of paper.

This means that n = 14

What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper?

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{14} = 0.0068

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{13} = 0.0407

P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.1134

P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.1943

P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.2290

P(X = 5) = C_{14,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1963

P(X = 6) = C_{14,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.1262

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0068 + 0.0407 + 0.1134 + 0.1943 + 0.2290 + 0.1963 + 0.1262 = 0.9067

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper
