Answer:

The baby must gain 2 1/8 more pounds before he/she can go to Ginger's house.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

11/2 - 27/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
=> 44/8 - 27/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
=> 17/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain
=> 2 1/8 = Required pounds for the baby to gain

<h3><u>Conclusion:</u></h3>

Hence, the baby must gain 2 1/8 more pounds before he/she can go to Ginger's house.

If A, B, and C are mutually exclusive events with P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.4, determine the following probabilities:

fiasKO [112]

a. The events are mutually exclusive, so

$P(A\cup B\cup C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=\boxed{0.9}$

b. For the same reason,

$P(A\cap B\cap C)=\boxed0$

Another way to see this is to use the result from part (a), and the inclusion/exclusion principle:

$P(A\cap B\cap C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(A\cup B\cup C)$

and the right side reduces to 0.

c. Same as (b),

$P(A\cap B)=\boxed0$

d. Same as (b),

$P((A\cup B)\cap C)=\boxed0$

We can also use the distributivity rule for unions and intersections to write

$P((A\cup B)\cap C)=P((A\cap C)\cup(B\cap C))=P(A\cap C)+P(B\cap C)=0$

e. If the $A'$ is the complement of $A$ , then by DeMorgan's law,

$P(A'\cap B'\cap C')=P(A\cup B\cup C)'=1-P(A\cup B\cup C)=\boxed{0.1}$

the frame of a picture is 28 cm by 32 cm outside and is of uniform width.What is the width of the frame if 192 cm2 of the pictur

natita [175]

Answer:

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the width of the frame picture

we know that

$(28-2x)(32-2x)=192$

$896-56x-64x+4x^{2} =192$

$4x^{2}-120x+704=0$

Simplify

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

so

$a=1\\b=-30\\c=176$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{(-30)^{2}-4(1)(176)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {2}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)14} {2}$

$x=\frac{30+14} {2}=22\ cm$ ----> this solution is not logic

$x=\frac{30-14} {2}=8\ cm$

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$
