A King wanted to replace his Prime-Minister but didn't want to upset him too much. So he called the Prime-Minister to his chamber and put two pieces of paper in his briefcase. He told the Prime-Minister that "On one piece of paper it says 'leave' and on the second piece of paper it says 'stay'". The piece of paper that you pull out of the briefcase will decide your fate." The Prime-Minister realized that both pieces of paper say 'leave'. What should the Prime-Minister do to be able to keep his position?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Ask the king to draw first and read it. Explain that if the king selects "leave" the PM's choice could only be "stay". It is then unnecessary for the PM to draw. It avoids embarrassing the king in his lie, demonstrates the PM's intelligence, and keeps his job.

The length of the room is 2½ times the breadth. The perimeter of the room is 70 m. What are the length and breadth of the room?

Answers

Answer:

length=25m

breadth=10m

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5units+2.5units+1unit+1unit=7units

70/7=10

length=10x2.5=25

breadth=10

(sorryy im not really sure but i hope it helps :D)

Answer:

Length = 25 cm

Breadth = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let breadth of the room be 'x'

Let length of the room be ''

Perimeter ( P ) = 70 cm

Now, let's find the breadth of the room 'x '

Perimeter of rectangle =  2(l+b)

plug the values

70=2(2.5x+x)

Collect the like terms

70=2x3.5x

Calculate the product

70=7x

Swap the sides of the equation

7x=70

Divide both sides of the equation by 7

7x / 7= 70/7

Calculate

x=10cm

Breadth = 10 cm

Now, Let's find the length of the room ' 2.5x '

Length of the room =  2.5x

Plug the value of X

2.5x10

Calculate the product

25cm

Thus , The length and breadth of the room is 25 cm and 10 cm respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the unit rates for the toy store and the online store. To find the unit rate, divide the price by the number of board games.

price/board games

Toy Store

Answers

Answer: The fifth piece of paper could have any number 9 and less or 14 and greater.

Step-by-step explanation:  The list of choices is not given in the question, but it makes sense that the new number would not be a duplicate of any of the numbers 10, 11, 12, 13. Otherwise that would change the probability to 5/5.

Admissions Probability 1,100 .2 1,400 .3 1,300 .5 Click here for the Excel Data File What is the expected number of admissions for the fall semester? Compute the variance and the standard deviation of the number of admissions. (Round your standard deviation to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Variance =10900.00

Standard deviation=104.50

Step by step Explanation:

Admissions Probability for 1100= 0.2

Admissions Probability for 1400=0.3

Admissions Probability for 1300 =0.5

To find the expected value, we will multiply each possibility by its probability and then add.

mean = 1100*0.2 + 1400*0.3 + 1300*0.5 = 1290

To find the variance, we will start by squaring each possibility and then multiplying it by its probability. We will then add these and subtract the mean squared.

E(X^2)=( 1100²*0.2)+ (1400²*0.3 )+ (1300²*0.5) = 1675000

Variance(X)=E(X²)- [E(X)]²

= 1675000 - (1290)²

=10900

Hence, the Variance(X)=10900

Then to calculate the standard variation , we will use the formular below,

standard variation (X)=√ var(X)= √10900

=104.5

Hence the standard variation=104.5

Answers

Answer:

388.5yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have Triangle TUV

In the question, we are given already

Angle U = 32°

Angle T = 38°

Angle V = ???

Side t = 31yd

Side u = ?

Side v = ?

Area of the triangle= ?

Step 1

We find the third angle = Angle V

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Third angle = Angle V = 180° - (32 + 38)°

= 180° - 70°

Angle V = 110°

Step 2

Find the sides u and v

We find these sides using the sine rule

Sine rule or Rule of Sines =

a/ sin A = b/ Sin B

Hence for triangle TUV

t/ sin T = u/ sin U = v/ sin V

We have the following values

Angle T = 38°

Angle U = 32°

Angle V = 110°

We are given side t = 31y

Finding side u

u/ sin U= t/ sin T

u/sin 32 = 31/sin 38

Cross Multiply

sin 32 × 31 = u × sin 38

u = sin 32 × 31/sin 38

u = 26.68268yd

u = 26.68yd

Finding side x

v / sin V= t/ sin T

v/ sin 110 = 31/sin 38

Cross Multiply

sin 110 × 31 = v × sin 38

v = sin 110 × 31/sin 38

v = 47.31573yd

v = 47.32yd

To find the area of triangle TUV

We use heron formula

= √s(s - t) (s - u) (s - v)

Where S = t + u + v/ 2

s = (31 + 26.68 + 47.32)/2

s = 52.5

Area of the triangle = √52.5× (52.5 - 31) × (52.5 - 26.68 ) × (52.5 - 47.32)

Area of the triangle = √150967.6032

Area of the triangle = 388.5454973359yd²

Approximately to the nearest tenth =388.5yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

if the polynomial x^4-6x^3+16x^2-25x+10 is divided by x^2-2x+k the remainder comes out to be x+a,find k and a

Solution

x^4-6x^3+16x^2-25x+10 / x^2-2x+k = x-a

We have,

(4k-25+16-2k)x+[10-k(8-k)] = x+a

(2k+9)x + (10-8k+k^2)=x+a

2k-9=1

2k=1+9

2k=10

Divide both sides by 2

2k/2=10/2

k=5

And

10-8k+k^2=a

10-8(5)+(5^2)=a

10-40+25=a

-5=a

Therefore, a=-5

elogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E. AE=2x, BE=y+10, CE=x+2 and DE=4y−8. Find the length of BD. A. 6 B. 16 C. 18 D. 32

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, thus

DE = BE , substitute values

4y - 8 = y + 10 ( subtract y from both sides )

3y - 8 = 10 ( add 8 to both sides )

3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 6

Thus

BD = y + 10 + 4y - 8 = 5y + 2 = 5(6) + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 → D
