Determine whether the following individual events are independent or dependent. Then find the probability of the combined event. Randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of Canadians from a pool of 16 Americans and 13 Canadians.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Here we have four individual events.

First selection, second selection, third selection and fourth selection.

Where initially, the options are 16 Americans and 13 Canadians.

Now, to see if the events are dependent or independent.

Suppose that in the first selection, an American is selected.

Then the second selection has 15 Americans and 13 Canadians as options.

Now, if in the first selection, a Canadian is selected.

Then in the second selection, the options will be 16 Americans and 12 Canadians.

Then the events are not independent.

Now we want to find the probability of randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of Canadians from a pool of 16 Americans and 13 Canadians

The probability of randomly selecting a Canadian is equal to the quotient between the number of Canadians, and the total number of postulants.

For the first selection, we have 13 Canadians, and 29 people in total, then the probability is:

P1 = 13/29.

Suppose that a Canadian is selected, now there are 12 Canadians and 28 people in total, then the probability for the second selection is:

P2 = 12/28

with the same reasoning as above, the probabilities for the third and fourth selections will be:

P3 = 11/27

P4 = 10/26.

The joint probability will be equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is:

P = P1*P2*P3*P4 = (13/29)*(12/28)*(11/27)*(10/26) = 0.03

A painter uses 1.2 liters of the paint to cover 1m2 of the wall.

How many square meters he can cover with 6.6 liters of paint?

Answers

12)/1.2=120/12=10m^2

4.8/1.2=48/12=4m^2

6.6/1.2=66/12=11/2=5.5m^2

this is another way you can do it

1. 12/1.2 times as much paint, so 12/1.2 times as much area.

2. 6.6/1.2 times as much paint, so 6.6/1.2 times as much area.

3. 4.8/1.2 times as much paint, so 4.8/1.2 times as much area.

You have to set up a proportion for this!

Because ABC and PAQ are similar triangles (same angles and PQ || BC), you can assume that all the equivalent sides are proportional!

If you solve the proportion for x:

Common denominator: 24

68 x 3 = 204

Speaking from experience, when you work with rational (fraction) polynomials on paper, it often tends to take up a bit of space and get messy. Therefore, I'd suggest you tried solving one equation at a time if you have the same issue.

Also, sometimes you may come across values that you don't want to type again in your calculator (like non-recurring decimals). For these, use the store function on your calculator to get maximum accuracy. With TI-84 and 83s, you can save values as letters (X, Y, etc.). Hence, you can just write out your equation using these, and hence significantly reduce the risk of typing the number wrong, while saving yourself some time.

Determine if the product CA is defined. If the product is defined, state its dimensions. Do not calculate the product.

Answers

Answer:

The product can be calculated.

The resulting matrix will have 3 rows and 3 columns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix multiplication

To find the product of two matrices is only possible when the number of columns of the first matrix is equal to the number of rows of the second matrix.

If X is the first matrix with dimensions (n x m) and Y is the second matrix with dimensions (m x p), the product XY is possible and the dimensions of the resulting matrix are (n x p).

Matrix A has two rows and three columns (2x3)

Matric C has three rows and two columns (3x2)

If we wanted to calculate the product CA, the number of columns of C must be equal to the number of rows of A.

Since both numbers are 2, the product can be calculated.

The resulting matrix will have 3 rows and 3 columns.

Ashton is depositing money into a checking account. After 3 months there is $120 in the account. After 6 months, there is $240 in the account. Determine the constant rate of change of the account.

The constant rate of change of the account is $40 or Increasing by $40 per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Joanne is depositing money into a bank account. After 3 months there is $120 in the account. After 6 months there is $240 in the account.

Rate of change is known as how one quantity change in relation to other.

The rate of change can be calculated as:

y2-y1/x2-x1  

Now use the above formula to calculated the rate of change.

240 - 120/6-3

120/3

40

Hence, the constant rate of change of the account is $40 or Increasing by $40 per month.

the 200th term of the arithmetic progression 10 97,94,91,.............is​

Answers

Answer:

-500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence;

    97, 94, 91 ......

Unknown;

The 200th term of the sequence;

Solution:

Since we were given an arithmetic progression, we need to first find the common difference;

 Common difference  = second term - first term

                                     = 94 - 97  

                                     = -3

To find the 200th term, we use the expression below;

     Sn  = a + (n-1)d

   a is the first term

    n is the nth term

   d is the common difference

 S₂₀₀ = 97 + (200 - 1 ) x -3 = -500

Required:

Find an equivalent polynomial

Solution:

(2x⁵ + 3y⁴)(-4x² + 9y⁴)

Using distributive property of multiplication

2x⁵(-4x² + 9y⁴) + 3y⁴(-4x² + 9y⁴)

-8x⁷ + 18x⁵y⁴ - 12x²y⁴ + 27y⁸

What is the maximum amount the volunteer can spend for each blanket? Write an inequality that would represent the situation and solve the inequality. Show your work to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 blankets with an unidentified price plus 12 for shipping is equal to 75

10x+12=75

minus 12 from both sides

10x=63

divide 10 from both sides

x=6.3

Now, let's prove the answer is true.

10x+12=75

Replace x with 6.3

10(6.3)+12=75

10 times 6.3

63+12=75

75=75
