Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.89

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice.

The sum will be odd if the first die is odd and the second is even or if the second is odd and the first is even. The probability of an odd sum is:

[tex]P(odd)=\frac{3}{6} *\frac{3}{6} +\frac{3}{6} *\frac{3}{6}\\P(odd)=0.5[/tex]

There is a probability of 1 in 2 of winning $10.

There are 8 ways to get a sum of 4 or 8 (1,3; 3,1; 2,2; 5,3; 3,5; 2,6; 6,2; 4,4). There is a probability of 8 in 36 or 2 in 9 of winning $5.

There are 2 ways to get a sum of 2 or 12 (1,1; 6,6). There is a probability of 2 in 36 or 1 in 18 of winning $50.

Any other outcome will not payout any amount.

The expected value is the sum of all possible payouts multiplied by their likelihood (including a 100% chance of paying $1 to play).

[tex]E=-1+10*\frac{1}{2} +5*\frac{2}{9}+50*\frac{1}{18}\\E=\$7.89[/tex]

The expected value is $7.89.

) We throw 9 identical balls into 7 bins. How many different ways are there to distribute these 9 balls among the 7 bins such that no bin is empty? Assume the bins are distinguishable (e.g., numbered 1 through 7).

Answers

Answer:

28 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

After placing 1 ball in each of the seven bins, there are two balls left.

If we place both balls in a single bin, there are 7 different ways to place the balls (place both on bins 1 through 7).

If we place each of the remaining balls in a different bin, the number of ways to place the balls is:

[tex]n_2=\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}=7*3=21[/tex]

The total number of ways to distribute those balls is 21 + 7 = 28 ways.

In the diagram, the measure of angle 6 is 98°. what is the measure of angle 7?

Answers

Answer:

7∠82°

Step-by-step explanation:

Well angle 6 and 7 are complementary angles, meaning they both add up to 180°.

So we do 180 - 98 which is 82°.

Answer: The measure of angle 7 is 82 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle  6 and 7  lies on a straight line so they will add up to 180 degrees.

So if Angle 6 is 98 degrees then an a number plus 98 has to equal 180.

so we could generate an equation as x + 98 = 180  

x + 98 = 180 solve for x

 -98      -98

x= 82

Answer:

The value of x in this equation is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 = 7x - 4

Subtract 7x from both sides of the equation.

-2x + 2 = -4

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

-2x = -6

Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation.

the length of a rectangle is twice its width, the perimeter of it is 36cm. what is the are of it

Answers

Answer: 72 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: lets take the width as x and length as 2x as length is twice the width= perimeter of rectangle is 2*(l+b)=36cm

So, 2×(2x+x)=36cm

2×3x=36cm

6x=36cm

X=36/6:6cm( width, since width was taken as x)

Length= 2x: 2×6=12cm

So area of the rectangle is( l*b):

Here were 87 sunflowers at the flower shop in the morning. There were 56 sunflowers left at the end of the day. How many sunflowers were sold? Explain a way to solve the problem.

Answers

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to calculate 87 - 56 which is 31 so the answer is 31 sunflowers.

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that we started with a higher number than we ended with, it is obvious that this is a subtraction problem. Then, we simply have to find the difference by subtracting 87 by 56 (87 - 56 = x). After the calculation, we see that the answer is 31 (87 - 56 = 31).

What is the period of the function y= 3/2 cot(3/5x) +5?

A. Pi/5 units

B. 3pi/5 units

C. 2pi/3

D. 5pi/3

Answers

Answer:

D; 5pi/3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the period of the function;

y = 3/2 cot (3/5x) + 5

By definition, the period of a function is the interval between two matching points in the function.

Let’s say it is the distance between two peaks, crests, etc on a function.

To find the value of the period. We shall standardize the function.

What this means is that we shall be writing the function in the standard form.

The standard form is as follows;

f(x) = A trig(Bx -C) + D

Where trig refers to the accompanying trigonometric function in question.

Comparing this standard form with our question, we can see that;

A is 3/2

B is 3/5

C is 0

D is 5

Now for cot and tan functions, we shall need to divide pi by the absolute value of B

Thus we have; pi divided by 3/5 which gives 5pi/3 units

Answer:

D. 5pi/3, period is the distance between the repetition of a function.

Answer:

y = - 4x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 9)

m = [tex]\frac{9-1}{2-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{-2}[/tex] = - 4, thus

y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 1) , then

1 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 16 = 17

y = - 4x + 17 ← equation of line

A soccer player gets 2 points for a goal and 1 point for an assist. If the combined number of goals and assists that a player has is 24, and the total number of points that the player has is 42, which system of equations can be used to determine the number of goals and assists the player has? Assume g represents the number of goals and a represents the number of assists.

A)g + a = 24. g + 2 a = 42.
B)g + a = 24. 2 g + a = 42.
C)g + a = 42. g + 2 a = 24.
D)g + a = 42. 2 g + a = 24.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The soccer player has g goals and a assists.

For every goal, he/she gets 2 points and for every assist, he/she earns 1 point. This means that if we multiply g by 2, we get the number of points the player receives from g goals and if we multiply a by 1, we get the number of points the player receives from a assists.

And, that total number of points is equal to 42, so we can write:

2 * g + 1 * a = 42

2g + a = 42

Now, we understand that g and a are the number of goals and assists the player has made, and we also know that the total number of such kicks is 24, so we can write:

g + a = 24

Thus, our system is:

g + a = 24

2g + a = 42

The answer is B.

~ an aesthetics lover

Answer:

The correct answer is B. g + a = 24. 2 g + a = 42

a line has a gradient of 4 and passes through the post (1,7). what is the equation?

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 4, thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 7) into the partial equation

7 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 7 - 4 = 3

y = 4x + 3 ← equation of line

Answer:

The equation is y = 4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4x + b

Substitute the x and y value into the equation

7 = 4(1)+b

7 = 4+b

Subtract 4

7-4 =b

3=b

The equation is y = 4x+3

The figure shows acute triangle A B C. The measure of angle B is 40 degrees. The length of side A B is 10. The length of side B C is 12. The length of side C A is b.

Answers

Answer:

Side CA = 7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Acute angled [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex].

[tex]\angle B =40^\circ[/tex]

AB = 10

BC = 12

We can use cosine rule here to find the side AC = b

Formula for cosine rule:

[tex]cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac}[/tex]

Where  

a is the side opposite to [tex]\angle A[/tex]

b is the side opposite to [tex]\angle B[/tex]

c is the side opposite to [tex]\angle C[/tex]

[tex]cos 40 = \dfrac{12^{2}+10^{2}-b^{2}}{2\times 12\times 10}\\\Rightarrow cos 40 = \dfrac{144+100-b^{2}}{240}\\\Rightarrow 0.77 = \dfrac{244-b^{2}}{240}\\\Rightarrow 244-b^{2} = 0.77 \times 240\\\Rightarrow 244-b^{2} = 183.85\\\Rightarrow 244-183.85 = b^{2}\\\Rightarrow b^2 = 60.15\\\Rightarrow b = 7.76[/tex]
