12 students share 3 pizzas equally what fraction of the pizza each student gets

1 answer:

8 0

To find the solution, simply take 3 and divide it by 12. 3/12 as a fraction would be simplified down to 1/4 or 0.25. Therefore, each student would receive one quarter of a pizza.

Does the measure of the angle get larger as it's rays get longer ?

lozanna [386]

The length of rays has no effect upon the angle between them. You can extend rays infinitely and the angle between them remains constant.

The probability that an Oxnard University student is carrying a backpack is .70. If 10 students are observed at random, what is

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

35.03% probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are carrying a backpack, or they are not. The probability of a student carrying a backpack is independent from other students. 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.

The probability that an Oxnard University student is carrying a backpack is .70.

This means that $p = 0.7$

If 10 students are observed at random, what is the probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks

This is $P(X < 7)$ when $n = 10$ . So

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

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.000006$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.7)^{1}.(0.3)^{9} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.7)^{2}.(0.3)^{8} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{7} = 0.0090$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.0368$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1029$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.2001$

$P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.000006 + 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0090 + 0.0368 + 0.1029 + 0.2001 = 0.3503$

35.03% probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks
