Gummi bears come in twelve flavors, and you have one of each flavor. Suppose you split your gummi bears among three people (Adam, Beth, Charlie) by randomly selecting a person to receive each gummi bear. Each person is equally likely to be chosen for each gummi bear.
(a) What is the probability that Adam gets exactly three gummi bears?
(b) If you know that each person recieved at least one gummi bear, what is the probability that Adam gets exactly three gummi bears?
(c) What is the expected number of gummi bears that Adam gets?
(d) If you know that each person recieved at least one gummi bear, what is the expected number of gummi bears that Adam gets?
(e) Is there more variance in the number of gummi bears that Adam gets with or without knowing that everyone gets at least one gummi bear? Explain your answer without calculations.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given gummi bear, the chance that Adam is selected for any draw is 1/3 as well as the chance he is not selected at any draw is 2/3.

a). The probability of Adam getting exactly three gummi bears = P(Adam gets selected at 3 draws and not selected at the remaining 9 draws)

= [tex]$ (\frac{1}{3})^3 (\frac{2}{3})^9 = \frac{2^9}{3^{12}} $[/tex]

Now, the 3 draws where Adam gets selected can be any 3 out of 12 draws in [tex]$ {\overset{12}C}_3 $[/tex] = 220

Thus, probability of Adam getting three gummi bears = [tex]$ 220 \times \frac{2^9}{3^{12}} $[/tex]

                                                                                                = 0.21186

b). Probability that Adam will get the three gummi bears given each person will received at the most 1 gummi bear

= P(of the remaining 9 draws after assigning one gummi bear to each one, Adam gets selected at 2 draws and not selected at 7 draws) = [tex]$ {\overset{9}C}_2 (\frac{1}{3})^2 (\frac{2}{3})^7 $[/tex]

                                                                                               = 0.23411

c). Let X = Number of the gummi bears which Adam will get. Then, X = number of draws out of 12 draws Adam gets selected and X ~ B(12, 1/3). So,  Adam will get gummi bears= mean of B(12, 1/3) = 12 x (1/3) = 4

d). Let Y = Number of the gummi bears that Adam will get, given each person will received at the most 1 gummi bear Then, Y = number of draws Adam gets selected in the remaining 9 draws and Y ~ B(9, 1/3). So, the expected number of bears that Adam gets given each person received at least 1 gummi bear

= 1 + mean of B(9, 1/3) = 4

e). When every one gets atleast one gummi bear, the new sample size will be 9 and so we can say that there is a reduction in variance.

The circle graph shows the most important problems for the
14,158,428 high school teenagers in a country. Without using a
calculator, estimate the number of high school teenagers for whom
drugs is the most important problem.
Drugs is the most important problem for approximately how many of the high school teenagers?
A 11.200.000
B. 1.400.000
C. 2.800.000
D. 8,400,000

Answers

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circle graph attached,

14158428 students have been divided into the sectors of a circle which represent the most important problems for the high school teenagers.

Each sector corresponds the percent of different problem.

Red sector (22% of the total students) represents the most important problem of drugs.

14158428 students ≈ 14000000

22% ≈ 20%

Now 20% of 14000000 high school students = 14000000×[tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex]

                                                                            = 2800000

Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.

A can factory requires 2 sheets of metal to make 36 cans and 10 sheets of metal to make 180 cans. The proportionality constant between the number of cans made and the number of sheets of metal used is 36 18 288 5

Answers

Answer:From the statement above, we can say that there is a direct relationship between the number of sheets used to the number of cans that can be made. That is, # of sheets is directly proportional to # of cans. We make an equation as follows:

let y = # of sheets

    x = # of cans

y = kx      where k is the proportionality constant

Assuming linear relationship of the two, we can use either data point as follows:

y = kx

2 = k(36)

k = 1/18

Therefore, the proportionality constant is 1/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

you can transform 4x + 12 = 9x - 3 again into a simpler form by subtracting 4x form both sides to get 12 = 5x - 3, if you subsitute 3 for x in 12 = 5x - 3, do you still get a true statement

Answers

Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.

12 = 5(3) - 3    

12 = 15 - 3

12 = 12  

So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .

Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.

4x + 12 = 9x -3  

-4x           -4x

 12 = 5x -3  

+3           +3

15 = 5x  

x = 3  

A student winds a strip of paper eight times round a cylinderical pencil of diameter 7mm. Use the value 22/7 for the to find the length of the paper( ignore the thickness of the paper)

Answers

176 mm

...............

As per the circumference of a circle, the length of the paper is 176 mm.

What is the circumference of a circle?

The circumference of a circle is the total arc length of it.

The diameter of the pencil is(d) 7 mm

Therefore, the radius of the pencil is(r)

[tex]= \frac{d}{2} \\= 7/2 mm\\= 3.5 mm[/tex]

Now, the circumference of the cross-section of the pencil is

[tex]= 2[/tex](π)r units

[tex]= (2) (22/7) (3.5) mm\\= 22 mm[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the paper is

= (circumference of the cross-section of the pencil) × 8 units

What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

The equation |x – 72.5| = 4.

The minimum and maximum temperatures can be found by substituting +4 and -4 in x.

Minimum temperature,

⇒ [tex]|+4-72.5|=|-68.5|[/tex]

⇒ [tex]68.5[/tex]

Maximum temperature,

⇒ [tex]|-4-72.5|=|-76.5|[/tex]

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.

WE need to find the values of x for which the result of 5 x be greater than 1

WE can have that as;

2+3=5

or

3+2=5

Also we can continue on but we would need to use one and these are the two that are greater than 1 but make up 5.

Therefore, the values of x for which the result of 5 x be greater than 1 would be 2 and 3.

Jennifer paid $13.37 for a pack of 12 pairs of sport socks. What was the price of a pair of sport socks

Answers

Answer:

Each pair of socks cost around $1.11 excluding taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much it costs for one pair of socks, divide the cost with how many pairs there are.  

13.37/12 = 1.11426...

Since we are determining the cost of each pair of socks, it's only justifiable if we round it to the nearest hundredths.

Therefore, a pair of socks cost around $1.11 excluding taxes.
