stack of mail consists of 8 bills, 10 letters, and 6 advertisements. One piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside. Then a second piece of mail is drawn. Find P (both are letters)

Answers

Answer 1

INFORMATION:

We know that:

- stack of mail consists of 8 bills, 10 letters, and 6 advertisements.

- One piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside. Then a second piece of mail is drawn.

And we must find P (both are letters)

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To find the probability, we need to know that we have two events. First, when one piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside and, second, when a second piece of mail is drawn.

These two events are dependent. If A and B are dependent events, P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B after A) where P(B after A) is the probability that B occurs after A has occurred.

So, first

- Probability of A (the first piece is letter)

[tex]P(A)=\frac{favorable\text{ }cases}{total\text{ cases}}=\frac{10}{24}[/tex]

- Probability of B after A

Since A already occurred and one piece of the mail was drawn (a letter), now in total we would have 9 letter and 23 total pieces

[tex]P(B\text{ after }A)=\frac{9}{23}[/tex]

Finally, replacing in the initial formula

[tex]P(A\text{ and }B)=\frac{10}{24}\cdot\frac{9}{23}=\frac{90}{552}=0.1630[/tex]

Finally, the probability would be 0.1630

ANSWER:

P (both are letters) = 0.1630

Here are some ingredients for bolognaise sauce 400g of minced beef 800g of tomato sauce 300 ml stock 300ml red wine. julia has 300g of minced beef. how much of the other ingredients does she need

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

she would have to use 3/4 of the ingrediants to the 400g of minced beef.

tomato sauce would be 600g

stock would be 225g

and red wine would be 225g

The quantity of chopped tomatoes is 600 g, of stock is 225 ml, and of red wine is 225 ml if Julie only has 300 g of minced beef.

The ratio is the comparison of two quantities to determine how frequently one quantity obtains the other. It can be shown as a fraction between two numbers.

Quantity of minced beef = 400 g

Quantity of chopped tomatoes = 800 g

Quantity of stock = 300 ml

Quantity of  red wine = 300 ml

Taking ratios of all the quantities, we get:

minced beef: chopped tomatoes:stock: red wine

= 400:800:300:300

= 100:200:75:75 ( Dividing by 4, as a common factor)

Multiplying the above ratio by three to make the quantity of minced beef 300 g

= 300:600:225:225

Thus, the quantity of chopped tomatoes is 600 g, the quantity of stock is 225 ml, and the quantity of red wine is 225 ml if Julie only has 300 g of minced beef.

an industrial manufacturing company uses an inverted conical (cone-shaped) tank to dispense liquid into containers. the tank measure 24 inches with a base radius of 48 inches. if the liquid flows out of the tank at a rate of 40 cubic inches per minute, at what rate is the height of the liquid falling when the height of the liquid is 10 inches deep?

Answers

If the liquid flows out of the tank at a rate of 40 cubic inches per minute, the height of the liquid will decrease at rate 0.0318 in./minute

Referring to the attached picture, the two triangles in a cone are similar. Hence,

r/h = 48/24

or

r = 2h.

The volume of the liquid is given by:

V = 1/3 . πr²h

Substitute r = 2h,

V = 1/3 . π(2h)²h = 4/3 . πh³

Take the derivative with respect to t

dV/dt = 4/3 .  3πh² . dh/dt

dV/dt = 4 .  πh² . dh/dt

Substitute dV/dt = -40 and h = 10

And
How much will the car be worth when it is 8 years old?

Answers

The equation of the car can be given as and the price of the car after 8 years is $4445.

What is an exponential function?

A function of the form [tex]a^{x}[/tex] is known as exponential function. In short the function which has an exponent is known as exponential function.

We are given that the value of a new car after 2 years was $11,200. When the car is 6 years old, the value has dropped to $6100.

Let the original price of the car be [tex]P_{0}[/tex]

After two years the price of the car is $11200

Mathematically it can be given as

[tex]11200= P_{0}e^{2x}[/tex]

After 6 years the price of the car is $6100

Mathematically it can be given as

[tex]6100=P_{0}e^{6x}[/tex]

Dividing both equations we get,

[tex]1.83=e^{-4x}[/tex]

Which can also be written as

[tex]e^{4x}=0.54[/tex]

on solving we get,

x=-0.154

Hence the rate at which price of the car is dropping is

[tex]P=P_{0}e^{-0.154t}[/tex]

No we have to find the original price of the car

To do so we substitute t=2 in the equation

we get

11200=[tex]P_0e^{-0.308}[/tex]

On solving we get,

15240=[tex]P_0[/tex]

Now we find the price of the car after 8 years

P=15240·[tex]e^{-1.232}[/tex]

On simplifying we get

P=$4445

Hence the price of the car after 8 years will be $4445

Answers

Answer:

x = 7 , ∠ A = 36°

Step-by-step explanation:

since ∠ ADB ≅ ∠ CBD ( alternate angles )

and ∠ ABD ≅ ∠ CDB ( alternate angles )

then ABCD is a parallelogram

the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent , so

∠ C = ∠ A , that is

8x - 20 = 3x + 15 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5x - 20 = 15 ( add 20 to both sides )

5x = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 7

Then

∠ A = 3x + 15 = 3(7) + 15 = 21 + 15 = 36°

Answer: x = 7 and mA = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ∠ADB ≅ ∠CBD and ∠ABD ≅ ∠CDB

This configuration is found when a quadrilateral has two parallel sides which have a diagonal as their transversal. Thus the figure is of parallelogram. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Thus m∠A = m∠C

⇒3x +15 = 8x - 20

⇒3x + 15 - 3x = 8x - 3x -20

⇒5x = 20 + 15

⇒x = 7

Now m∠A = (3X7) +15 = 36

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with particular angles' functions and how to use those functions in calculations. There are six common trigonometric functions for an angle. Sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant are their respective names and abbreviations (csc).

What is Hypotenuse?

The longest side of a right-angled triangle, or the side opposite the right angle, is known as the hypotenuse in geometry. The Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, can be used to determine the length of the hypotenuse.

Here,

a=b.sinα/sinβ

=17.4·sin(90°)/sin(61°)

=19.89436 cm

≈19.9 cm

When the hypotenuse is 17.4 cm long and the angles XYZ and YZX are 90° and 61°, respectively, the length of XY is 19.894 cm. Using the trigonometric formula a=b.sinα/sinβ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error percent of the fish tank is 50%

Error percent:

Error percent means the difference between estimated value and the actual value in comparison to the actual value and is expressed as a percentage. It is also known as the percent error is the relative error multiplied by 100.

The formula to calculate the error percent is

δ = |vA - vE|/vA x 100

δ  = percent error

vA = actual value observed

vE = expected value

Given,

Raul estimated that a fish tank contained 20 gallons of water. He later  found that the fish tank had a 40-gallon capacity.

Here we need to calculate the error percent.

According to the error percent formula,

In this question

The estimated value = 20 gallons

Actual value = 40 gallons.

Now, we have to apply the values on the formula, then we get,

P% = (40 - 20)/40 x 100

P% = 20/40  x 100

P% = 1/2 x 100

P% = 0.5 x 100

Answers

The percentage of adult females with pulse rates between 49.0 bpm and 86.5 bpm - 81.86%

P ( 49 < X < 86.5 )

Standardizing the  value

Z = ( X - µ ) / σ

Z = ( 49 - 74 ) / 12.5

Z = -2

Z = ( 86.5 - 74 ) / 12.5

Z = 1

P ( -2 < Z < 1 )

P ( 49 < X < 86.5 )  =  P ( Z < 1 ) - P ( Z < -2 )

P ( 49 < X < 86.5 )  = 0.8413 - 0.0228

P ( 49 < X < 86.5 )  = 0.8186  ≈  81.86%

b)

P ( X < 90 )

Standardizing the value

Z = ( X - µ  ) / σ

Z = ( 90 - 74 ) / 12.5

Z = 1.28

P (  ( X - µ ) / σ )  < ( 90 - 74 ) / 12.5 )

What is pulse rate ?

The pulse rate, or the number of times the heart beats each minute, is gauged by the pulse rate. The arteries enlarge and constrict with the flow of blood as the heart pumps blood through them. An elevated heart rate, or tachycardia, can occur for any reason. Exercise-induced or stress-related heart rate increases are two possible causes (sinus tachycardia). Sinus tachycardia is not seen as an illness but rather a symptom. Another factor contributing to tachycardia is an unsteady heartbeat (arrhythmia).
