Given

John had a roll containing of wrapping paper  

=24\tfrac{2}{3}

First, he must cut off 5/6 foot because it was torn.

He wants to divide it into 11 pieces.

To proof

As given in question

John had a roll containing of wrapping paper

=24\tfrac{2}{3}

=\frac{74}{3}    ( solving the mixed fraction form)

 First, though, he must cut off 5/6 foot

than we get

= \frac{74}{3} - \frac{5}{6}

Taking the L.C.M of 3 and 6 is 6

=\frac{148-5}{6}

=\frac{143}{6}

=23.83 feet (approx)

He wants to divide it into 11 piece

length of the each piece

=\frac{23.83}{11}

length of the each pieces be 2.16 feet ( approx)

Hence proved

We are given a total size of 24 2/3 feet of wrapping paper. Convert this into fraction of denominator 6:

total paper = 24 2/3 = 74/3 = 148/6 feet

 

Subtract 5/6 foot:

remaining paper = 148/6 – 5/6 = 143/6 feet

 

Divide by 11:

<span>each piece = (143/6) ft / 11 = 143/66  ft = 2.17 ft</span>

For an outdoor concert by the city​ orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 16 comma 000 people will attend if it is not rai
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:  13300

========================================

Work Shown:

A = event that it rains

B = event that it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30

P(B) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.30 = 0.70

Multiply the attendance figures with their corresponding probabilities

  • if it rains, then 7000*P(A) = 7000*0.30 = 2100
  • if it doesn't rain, then 16000*P(B) = 16000*0.70 = 11200

Add up the results: 2100+11200 = 13300

This is the expected value. This is basically the average based on the probabilities. The average is more tilted toward the higher end of the spectrum (closer to 16000 than it is to 7000) because there is a higher chance that it does not rain.
