In horse race betting, a trifecta bet is one in which you try to pick which horses will finish first, second, and third, in the correct order. If 8 horses are running in a race and you randomly place a trifecta bet, what is the probability of winning the bet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of winning the bet is 1/336

Step-by-step explanation:

We should understand that there is only one possible arrangement of the winning selection

Now, the horse that comes first can be selected in 8 ways given that all the horses have equal chances

The horse that comes second can be selected in 7 ways given that all the horses have equal chances

The horse that comes third can be selected in 6 ways given that all the horses have equal chances

Now the total number of ways of selection would be;

8 * 7 * 6 = 336

Since there is only one of the selections that is correct, the probability of making the correct choice is thus 1/336

A restaurant operator in Accra has found out that during the partial lockdown, if she sells a plate of her food for GH¢20 each, she can sell 300 plates, but for each GH¢5 she raises the price, 10 less plates are sold.
Draw a table of cost relating to number of plates using 6 values of cost and its corresponding number of plates bought.

What price in GH¢ should she sell the plates to maximize her revenue?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note this parameters from the question.

We let x = number of $5 increases and number of 10 decreases in plates sold.

Our Revenue equation is:

R(x) = (300-10x)(10+5x)

We expand the above equation into a quadratic equation by multiplying each bracket:

R(x) = 3000 + 1500x - 3000x - 1500x^2

R(x) = -1500x^2 - 1500x + 3000 (collect like terms)

Next we simplify, by dividing through by -1500

= 1500x^2/1500 - 1500x/1500 + 3000/1500

= X^2 - x + 2

X^2 - x + 2 = 0

Next, we find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/(2*a) where b = 1, a = 1

X = - (-1)/2*1

X = 1/2

Number of $5 increases = $5x1/2 = $2.5

=$2.5 + $20 = $22.5 ticket price gives max revenue.

Please help ASAP!!! Thank you so much!!! Just want confirm my answer it is y=150x-50. A concession stand at a football game took in $100 after being open for 1 hour. After 3 hours, the stand had taken in $400. Assuming a linear function, write an equation in the form y=mx+b that shows the revenue earned from being opened for x hours.

Answers

Answer: You have the correct answer. It is y = 150x-50

Nice work on getting the correct answer. For anyone curious, the explanation is below.

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

x = number of hours the stand is open

y = amount earned

(1,100) is from the fact the stand is open 1 hour and earns $100

(3,400) is due to the stand earning $400 after 3 hours.

Slope Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (400-100)/(3-1)

m = 300/2

m = 150 is the slope, and it is the amount earned per hour. It is the rate of change.

Use m = 150 and (x,y) = (1,100) to find the value of b as shown below

y = mx+b

100 = 150(1) + b

100 = 150 + b

100-150 = b

-50 = b

b = -50 is the y intercept and it is the starting amount they earn. The negative earning indicates that they spent $50 to set up the stand, which is the cost of buying the food, equipment, etc.

So we have m = 150 as the slope and b =  -50 as the y intercept.

Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 150x-50.

-------

As a check, plugging in x = 1 should lead to y = 100

y = 150x-50

y = 150(1)-50

y = 150-50

y = 100 and indeed it does

The same should be the case with (3,400). Plug in x = 3 and we should get y = 400

y = 150x-50

y = 150(3)-50

y = 450-50

y = 400, we have confirmed the answer by showing that the line y = 150x-50 goes through the two points (1,100) and (3,400).

The equation for revenue earned from being opened for x hours will be y=150x-50 so it is absolutely correct.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given,

$100 for 1 hour

So,

x = 1 and y = 100

And,

$400 for 3 hour

So,

x = 3 and y = 400

Now the slope of the linear equation is given by

m = difference in ys coordinate / difference in xs coordinate  

m = (400 - 300)/(3-1) = 150

So equation become

y = 150x + b

Now put (3,400) to find out b

400 = 150(3) + b

b = -50

So, equation

y = 150x - 50

Hence " The equation for revenue earned from being opened for x hours will be y=150x-50".

From 1985 to 2007, the number B B of federally insured banks could be approximated by B ( t ) = − 329.4 t + 13747 B(t)=-329.4t+13747 where t is the year and t=0 corresponds to 1985. How many federally insured banks were there in 1990?

Answers

Answer:

12100

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number B of federally insured banks could be approximated by B ( t ) = − 329.4 t + 13747 from 1985 to 2007 where t = 0 correspond to year 1985

In order to determine the amount of federally insured banks that were there in 1990, we will first calculate the year range from initial time 1985 till 1990

The amount of time during this period is 5years. Substituting t = 5 into the modeled equation will give;

B ( t ) = − 329.4 t + 13747

B(5) = -329.4(5) + 13747

B(5) = -1647+13747

B(5) = 12100

This shows that there will be 12100 federally insured banks are there in the year 1990.

Answers

The difference of the rational expressions 6/x - 5x/x+2 is (x + 12)/(x(x+2)).

Thus, the correct option would be:

C. (x + 12)/(x(x+2))

To find the difference of the rational expressions, we need to subtract the second expression from the first expression.

Let's simplify the expressions first:

The first expression is 6/x - 5x/(x+2).

To combine the terms, we need a common denominator, which is (x)(x+2).

Converting the first term, 6/x, to have a denominator of (x)(x+2), we get (6(x+2))/(x(x+2)).

Now, we can combine the terms:

[(6(x+2))/(x(x+2))] - [5x/(x+2)]

To subtract the fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which is (x)(x+2).

Expanding the numerators, we get:

[(6x + 12)/(x(x+2))] - [5x/(x+2)]

Now, we can subtract the fractions:

[(6x + 12 - 5x)/(x(x+2))]

Simplifying the numerator, we have:

(6x - 5x + 12)/(x(x+2))

Combining like terms, we get:

(x + 12)/(x(x+2))

Therefore, the difference of the rational expressions 6/x - 5x/x+2 is (x + 12)/(x(x+2)).

Thus, the correct option would be:

C. (x + 12)/(x(x+2))

URGENT It is given that a regular n-sided polygon has 5 sides more than a
regular m-sided polygon. If the sum of interior angles of the regular
n-sided polygon is twice that of the latter, find the values of m and n.​

Answers

Answer:

m = 7; n = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

"a regular n-sided polygon has 5 sides more than a

regular m-sided polygon"

n = m + 5

The sum of the measures of the interior angles is

180(n - 2) for the n-sided polygon and

180(m  2) for the m-sided polygon.

"If the sum of interior angles of the regular

n-sided polygon is twice that of the latter"

180(n - 2) = 2(180)(m - 2)

We have a system of equations with 2 equations.

n = m + 5

180(n - 2) = 2(180)(m - 2)

Simplify the second equation:

n - 2 = 2m - 4

n + 2 = 2m

Substitute m + 5 for n.

m + 5 + 2 = 2m

7 = m

m = 7

n = m + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12

Answer: m = 7; n = 12

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First, we need to rotate our points 180° about the origin. To find the coordinates after such a rotation, we simply find the negative version of each number in the ordered pair, which can be written as (x,y)⇒(-x,-y).

Let's convert this below

A: (1,1)⇒(-1,-1)

B: (5,4)⇒(-5,-4)

C: (7,1)⇒(-7,-1)

D: (3,-2)⇒(-3,2)

Now, we need to translate these new points five units to the right and one unit down. This means we will add 5 to our x-value and subtract 1 from our y-value. This will look like (x,y)⇒(x+5,y-1). Let's do this below.

A: (-1,-1)⇒(4,-2)

B: (-5,-4)⇒(0,-5)

C: (-7,-1)⇒(-2,-2)

D: (-3,2)⇒(2,1)

Therefore, this new parallelogram has coordinates of A'(4,-2), B'(0,-5), C'(-2,-2), and D'(2,1)

Now you know how to find the coordinates of translated figures! Have a wonderful day! :D
