The probability of getting a white marble from the bag is 1/6. If there are eight white marbles in the bag, what is the total number of marbles in the bag?
A. 36
B. 24
C. 48
D. 14

Answers

Answer:

C: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 chance so multiply by 6, 8 marbles so multiply by 8, 8(6)=48

Answer:

48 marbles, it's C

Step-by-step explanation:

why?

Because 1/6 of the marbles are white. and there are 8 white marbles. so that means, 1/6=8 marbles.

So you just get 1/6 to 6/6

so you do, 8*6 which equals to 48

Answers

Answer:

a)Average cost function =[tex]\bar{C(x)}=\frac{1000+0.1x}{x}[/tex]

Marginal cost function =[tex]C'x=0.1[/tex]

b) [tex]\bar{C(2000)}=0.6[/tex]

[tex]C'(2000)=0.1[/tex]

c)[tex]\bar{C(2000)}=0.6[/tex] is the average cost to produce first 2000 items

C'(2000)=0.1 is the marginal cost to produce 2001 th item

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost function: [tex]C(x) = 1000 + 0.1x[/tex]

a)Find the average cost and marginal cost functions.

Average cost function =[tex]\bar{C(x)}=\frac{C(x)}{x}[/tex]

Average cost function =[tex]\bar{C(x)}=\frac{1000+0.1x}{x}[/tex]

Marginal cost function =[tex]C'x=0.1[/tex]

b) Determine the average and marginal cost when x = a.

a = 2000

Average cost function =[tex]\bar{C(x)}=\frac{1000+0.1x}{x}=\frac{1000+0.1a}{a}=\frac{1000+0.1(2000)}{2000}=0.6[/tex]

So, [tex]\bar{C(2000)}=0.6[/tex]

Marginal cost function =[tex]C'(2000)=0.1[/tex]

c)Interpret the values obtained in part​ (b).

[tex]\bar{C(2000)}=0.6[/tex] is the average cost to produce first 2000 items

(c) Suppose the error correction protocols reset themselves so long as there are no more than five minor errors occurring within a 2 hour window. The system just started up and an error occurred. What is the probability the next reset will occur within 2 hours?

Answers

Answer:

a

  [tex] P(X = 0) =  0.6065 [/tex]

b

[tex]P(x <  25 ) =   1.18 *10^{-33} [/tex]

c

 [tex]  P(x \le 5 ) =  0.9994 [/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The rate  is [tex]\lambda =  \frac{1}{2}\   hr^{-1}[/tex]    =  0.5 / hr

  Generally  Poisson distribution formula is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(X = x) =  \frac{(\lambda t) ^x e^{-\lambda t }}{x!}[/tex]

Generally the probability that no error occurred during a day is mathematically represented as  

Here  t =  1  hour according to question a

So

   [tex]P(X = x) =  \frac{\lambda^x e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]

Hence

   [tex][tex]P(X = 0) =  \frac{\frac{1}{2} ^0 e^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{0!}[/tex]

=>  [tex] P(X = 0) =  0.6065 [/tex]

Generally the probability that  a critical error occurs since the start of a day is mathematically represented as

Here  t =  1  hour according to question a

So

   [tex]P(X = x) =  \frac{\lambda^x e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]

Hence

      [tex]P(x \ge 25 ) =  1 - P(x <  25 )[/tex]

Here

     [tex]P(x <  25 ) = \sum_{x=0}^{24} \frac{e^{-\lambda} * \lambda^{x}}{x!}[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(x <  25 ) =  \frac{e^{-0.5} *0.5^{0}}{0!} + \cdots + \frac{e^{-0.5} *0.5^{24}}{24!}[/tex]

[tex]P(x <  25 ) =  0.6065 + \cdots + \frac{e^{-0.5} *0.5^{24}}{6.204484 * 10^{23}}[/tex]

[tex]P(x <  25 ) =  0.6065 + \cdots + 6.0*10^{-32}[/tex]

[tex]P(x <  25 ) =   1.18 *10^{-33} [/tex]

Considering question c

Here  t =  2  

Gnerally given that the  system just started up and an error occurred  the probability the next reset will occur within 2 hours

[tex]P(x \le 5 ) =  \sum_{n=0}^{5}  \frac{(\lambda t) ^x e^{-\lambda t }}{x!}[/tex]

=> [tex]P(x \le 5 ) =   \frac{(0.5 *  2) ^ 0 e^{- 0.5  * 2 }}{0!} + \cdots  +   \frac{(0.5 *  2) ^ 5  e^{- 0.5  * 2 }}{5!}[/tex]

=> [tex]P(x \le 5 ) =   \frac{1* 2.7183 }{1 } + \cdots  +   \frac{1  *2.7183 }{120}[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(x \le 5 ) =   2.7183 + \cdots  +   0.0226525[/tex]

 [tex]  P(x \le 5 ) =  0.9994 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Artists usually use two main types of shapes when drawing. One is geometric shape and the other is bimorphic shape.

A geometric shape simply refers to common regular and precise shapes like triangles, rectangles, squares which are commonly found in man made objects. Whereas, a bimorphic shape is one that is basically rounded or irregular and depicts natural things or living organisms.

Now, from the question, the only thing there that refers to a natural occurring object is "an outline of a pine tree".

Thus, it is a bimorphic shape.

Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is equal to 10 times the quantity of
12 more than one-fourth of the number. If a is the number, what is the value of a?

Answers

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the number is a

The expression for Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is given by

5a - 10

10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number.

a/4 is one-fourth  of number

12 more than one-fourth of the number

a/4 + 12

expression for  10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number. is given by

10(a/4 + 12) = 10a/4 + 12*10 = 2.5a + 120

Given that the above two expression are equal

equating them we have

5a - 10 = 2.5a + 120

adding 10 both sides

=>5a - 10+ 10  = 2.5a + 120 + 10

=> 5a = 2.5a + 130

subtracting 2.5a from both sides

=> 5a - 2.5a = 2.5a + 130 - 2.5a

=> 2.5a = 130

dividing both side by 2.5

=> a = 130/2.5 = 52

Thus, value of a is 52

You just got off the Haunted Mansion ride and the next ride you want to go
on is Splash Mountain. You have a fast pass that requires you to arrive at
Splash Mountain in 7 3⁄4 minutes. Splash Mountain is 1 3/5 miles away. You are able to cover 2/7 of a mile every minute. Can you make it to Splash Mountain?

Answers

Answer:

You can make it to Splash Mountain

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The distance you need to cover to Splash Mountain is 1 3/5 miles, and the time you have to arrive there is in 7 3/4 minutes.

Also, from the question,

You are able to cover 2/7 of a mile every minute, that is

Your speed is 2/7 mile per minute

To determine if you can make it to Splash Mountain, we will determine the distance you can cover, traveling at this speed of 2/7 mile per minute for 7 3/4 minutes. If the distance you can cover is more than 1 3/5 miles, then you can make it; but if the distance you can cover is less than 1 3/5 miles, then you cannot make it.

From

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed = 2/7 mile/minute

Time = 7 3/4 minutes = 31/4 minutes

∴Distance = 2/7 × 31/4

Distance = 31/14 miles = 2 3/14 miles

The distance you can cover traveling 2/7 of a mile every minute for 7 3/4 minutes is 2 3/14 miles, since this is more than 1 3/5 miles, then you can make it to Splash Mountain.

Hence, you can make it to Splash Mountain.

A scaled drawing of a rectangle park is 5 inches wide and 7 inches long. The actual park is 280 yards long. What is the area of the actual park in square units?

Answers

Area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing of a rectangular park has dimensions as 5 inches width and 7 inches length.

Actual length of the park has been given as 280 yards.

So scale factor used in the drawing is 7 inches

= 280 yards

Or 1 inch = 40 yards

Since width of the rectangular park is = 5 inch

So actual width of the park will be = 5×40 = 200 yards

Now we can calculate the area of the park.

Actual area of the park = Length × Width

= 280×200

= 56000 yards²

Therefore, area of the actual park is 56000 square yards.

A common discrete distribution is used in statistics, as opposed to a continuous distribution is called a Binomial distribution. The probability of at most 2 red cards is 0.5.

What is Binomial distribution?

A common discrete distribution is used in statistics, as opposed to a continuous distribution is called a Binomial distribution. It is given by the formula,

P(x) = ⁿCₓ (pˣ) (q⁽ⁿ⁻ˣ⁾)

Where,

x is the number of successes needed,

n is the number of trials or sample size,

p is the probability of a single success, and

q is the probability of a single failure.

Using the given information the number of cards is 24 out of which 12 are red. Therefore, the probability of getting a red card is 0.5.

A) All red cards.

P(X=5) = ⁵C₅ (0.5⁵) (0.5⁰)

            = 0.03125

B.) at least two red cards.

P(X≥2) = 1 - ⁵C₀ (0.5⁰) (0.5⁵) - ⁵C₁ (0.5¹) (0.5⁴)

= 0.8125

C.)  At most 2 red cards.

P(X≤2) = ⁵C₀ (0.5⁰) (0.5⁵) + ⁵C₁ (0.5¹) (0.5⁴) + ⁵C₂ (0.5²) (0.5³)

           = 0.5

Answers

Answer:

W>16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2L+2W

L is the length of the rectangle

W is the width of the rectangle:

Given

P = 96m

If the length of a rectangle is 2 times the width, then L = 2W

Substitute into the formula:

Since the perimeter is less than 96m

96 < 2(2W)+2W

96 < 4W+2W

96 < 6W

Divide both sides by 6:

96/6 < 6W/6

16 < W

W>16

Hence the possible values of the width are all values greater than 16.

Answers

Answer:

64 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are only half of the pumps that are working the time will double. 32x2 is 64

Answer: 16 hours

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1: Split 8 in half because we are using half the amount of pumps which is 4. Now we know the amount of pumps being used.

Step 2: Next we find the unit rate by dividing 32 and 8 to get 4

Step 3: Lastly we multiply 4x4 because 4 is the amount of pumps being used and the other 4 is the unit rate. Once we multiply we get 16 which is the answer: 16 hours
