Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

  • the ratio of mass potatoes to the mass of carrots is 5:2
  • the mass of potato is 9kg more than the mass of carrot

Let us set up the equation:

  • variables: mass of potatoes: p, the mass of carrots: c

p/c = 5/2 --> 2p = 5c --> 2p -5c = 0 -- equation 1

p = 9 + c --> p - c = 9 -- equation 2

Multiple equation 2 by 2

2p - 2c = 18 -- equation 3

subtract equation 1 and equation 3

-3c = -18

c = 6, so p = 15

So the total mass of both ingredients is 21 kg

mark ordere wome balloons for a party that she is having.The balloons cost $4.50 each and there is a service fee of $12.The tota
ohaa [14]
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.

For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:

y = (4.50)x + 12

And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:

79.50 = (4.50)x + 12

Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):

67.50 = (4.50)x

x = 15

The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.

For safety reasons, 4 different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a Beverly Hills

Answer:

<em>99.93%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>

Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.

We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.

We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.

The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is

P(0)=q^4=0.16^4=0.00065536

Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)=1-0.00065536=0.9993

That means a 99.93%

Divers in a competition are scored by an international panel of judges. The highest and the lowest scores are dropped. The total
Fudgin [204]

From the statements given in the problem, we can say that:

 

Final Score = (total of the remaining scores) * degree of difficulty * 0.6

 

Therefore:

97.2 = (total of the remaining scores) * 4.0 * 0.6

total of the remaining scores = 40.5

 

Therefore the judges could have scored which has a total of 40.5
