A village fete has a children’s running race each year, run in heats of up to ten children. For each heat the first three contestants past the finishing line qualify for the final. There are three prizes in the final for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. One year 29 children enter the race so there are three heats, of ten, ten and nine children. One year 29 children enter the race so there are three heats, of ten, ten and nine children. 1) What is the probability that three randomly chosen competitors win prizes? 2) What is the probability that two randomly chosen competitors win prizes? 3) How many ways are there to select ten competitors for the first heat? 4) Once the competitors have been selected for the first heat, how many different groups of three qualifiers are possible from this heat

Answers

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know how much is 2/5 of 550 since that is how much she put in the jar. 2/5 * 550 = 220 and then you need to find a 1/4 of that since that is how much she takes from th jar for vecation. 1/4 * 220 = 55 which is the awnser

Solve this linear system 28x + 44y = 964.40 21x + 33y = 723.30

Answers

28x + 44y = 964.40

21x + 33y = 723.30

Let's multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by -4

84x + 176y = 3857.6

-84x - 132y = -2893.2

Add the equations together.

0 + 44y = 964.4

Simplify

44y = 964.4

Divide both sides by 44

y = 964.4/44

Since we have the value of y, let's plug 964.4/44 into y for the first equation.

28x + 44(964.4/44) = 964.40

Simplify the left side

28x + 964.4 = 964.4

Subtract 964.4 from both sides

28x = 0

Divide both sides by 0

x = 0

In conclusion,

y = 964.4/44

x = 0

By Gauss's Law the approach of solving sum of a sequence of n terms in arithmetic progression is :

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)[/tex]        ......1 )

Here, [tex]a_n = 302[/tex] , [tex]a_1=2[/tex] .

We know :

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\\\302=2+3(n-1)\\\\n = 101[/tex]

Putting, all values in equation 1) we get :

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{101}{2}\times (2+302)\\\\S_n=101\times 152\\\\S_n=15352[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of sequence using Gauss's Law is 15352.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A student rolls a fair die 10 times and obtained an even number 10 times. The student believes that the next roll will
be an odd number because "odds are due."
Is this correct?
Yes, if the die is fair, then an odd number is due because the probability will approach 50%.
No, an even number is due based on past experience.
Yes, it is certain that an odd number will be rolled next because it is impossible to roll an even number 11 times in
a row.

A government agency has 6000 employees. As an alternative to the traditional five day work week, employees were asked whether they preferred a four day work week (10 hours per day) or flexible hours. The employee data provides the results by age category. What is the probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30

Answers

The table showing the data is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30.

Now, we are told that the government agency has 6000 employees. Also, from the attached table, we see that the  number of people who prefer a 4 day work week are a total of:

600 + 1200 + 2100 = 3900

Thus, probability of people who prefer a 4 day work week = 3900/6000 = 39/60

Also, we see that total number of people aged under 30 = 600 + 300 = 900

Thus, probability of people aged under 30 is;

900/6000 = 3/20

Thus;

probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30 = 39/60 + 3/20 = 48/60 = 4/5 = 0.8

Answers

Answer:

i think its p ≤ 85 or p ≥ 125

Step-by-step explanation:

p can be 85 and higher but can be passed 125 but it can be 125 which makes the equality signs have the line under them meaning less than or equal to, and could also mean greater than or equal to.

The  inequality that represents P the scores for students who are eligible for tutoring or extension activities ​is p ≤ 85 or p ≥ 125.

What is an Average?

Average is the mean of the data set obtained by summing all the values of the data set and then dividing it by the number of data in the set.

The average score is 105

The score required for tutoring is at least 20 points higher than average

The score required for extension activities is at least 20 points lower than average

P is the scores for students who are eligible for tutoring or extension activities ​

Then p ≤ 105 -20 = p ≤ 85

p ≥ 105+20 = p ≥125

p ≤ 85 or p ≥ 125

Elizabeth is a manager at a nursery and is in charge of displaying potted trees in a row Elizabeth has 150 citrus trees and 180 Palm trees she wants to make rows of trees so that each row has the same number of trees and each tree is in the same row. if the citrus trees and the palm trees must not be mixed in the rows what is the largest number of trees she can have in a row

Answers

Answer: the greatest number of trees that ElizaBeth can have in a row is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

citrus trees = 150

palm trees = 180

As we have to find the greatest number of trees that Elizabeth can have in a​ row, we will find the GCF or greatest common factor.

150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

180 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

Greatest common factor is = 2 x 3 x 5 = 30

Therefore, the largest number of trees that ElizaBeth can have in a row is 30.

Check out the diagram below

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

Explanation:

When reflecting over horizontal lines like this, the x coordinate stays the same as the original point. Only the y coordinate changes.

To find what the y coordinate changes to, we need to measure the vertical distance from the point to the line. Point S has a y coordinate of y = -5 and the vertical distance to the line of reflection (y = 1) is |-5-1| = |-6| = 6 units. So we move 6 units up to go from point S to the line of reflection. We must move another 6 units to get to the location for S' where its reflected point would end up, which has y coordinate y = 7.

The same applies for the other points as well. Point T also goes up 6 units to get to y = 1, then it moves another 6 units to get to y = 7

Points V and U only move up 1 unit to get to the green dotted line of reflection. So they'll move only one additional unit to have their reflected points have y coordinates of y = 2.

The diagram hopefully visually summarizes everything discussed so far. The mirroring line cuts the distance from S to S' in half, same for T to T', and so on.

- 10t = - 100

Divide both sides by - 10

A basketball player shoots free throws and makes them with probability 1/7. What is the probability of the event the player will miss three in a​ row?

Answers

Answer:

216/343 or 0.6297 (4dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime the probability of an event occurs more than once in a particular order (one time after another in the same instance), then the probability is multiplied together. If the probability of him making the shot is 1/7, then the probability of him missing it is 6/7. This is because this is the only other possible outcomes and all outcome probabilities must add to 1 (1-1/7 - 6/7).

So, if he misses it three times in a row then the probability is:

6/7 (probability miss this first time) x 6/7 (probability miss second time) x 6/7 (probability miss 3rd time).

6/7 x 6/7 x 6/7 = 216/343

or 0.6297 (4dp)
