Answer the questions below please

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

There are 6 boxes of pencils, 14 boxes of pens and 16 boxes of paper.

Total number of original boxes = 6 + 14 + 16 = 36

To find:

Number of additional boxes of paper to be added so that the probability of getting a paper box while selecting a random box becomes exactly [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula of probability:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

Here, number of favorable cases will be equal to the number of paper boxes and

Total number of cases will be equal to the total number of boxes available.

Let us first calculate the original probability:

[tex]\frac{16}{36}\neq \frac{1}2[/tex]

If 1 paper box is added, then probability

[tex]\frac{17}{37}\neq \frac{1}2[/tex]

If 2 paper boxes are added, then probability

[tex]\frac{18}{38}\neq \frac{1}2[/tex]

If 3 paper boxes is added, then probability

[tex]\frac{19}{39} \neq \frac{1}2[/tex]

If 4 paper boxes is added, then probability

[tex]\frac{20}{40} = \frac{1}2[/tex]

Therefore, we need to add 4 paper boxes.

The probability of randomly selecting a box of paper from this shipment to be exactly 1/2  need to add 4 boxes.

Given that,

The shipment contains 6 boxes of pencils

And 14 boxes of pens, and 16 boxes of paper.

We have to find,

How many additional boxes of paper must be added to the original 36 boxes in order for the probability of randomly selecting a box of paper from this shipment to be exactly 1/2.

According to the question,

Total no. of original boxes = 6 + 14 + 16 = 36

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

[tex]P(E) = \frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ cases}{Total \ number \ of \ cases }[/tex]

Here, number of favorable cases will be equal to the number of paper boxes,

Total number of cases will be equal to the total number of boxes available.

The probability of randomly selecting a box of paper from this shipment to be exactly 1/2 .

Let us first calculate the original probability:

[tex]\frac{16}{36} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of original paper boxes is not  1\2.

If 1 paper box is added, then probability,

[tex]\frac{17}{37} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of 1 paper boxes is not 1\2.

If 2 paper box is added, then probability,

[tex]\frac{18}{38} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of 2 paper boxes is not 1\2.

If 3 paper boxes are added, then probability,

[tex]\frac{19}{39} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of 3 paper boxes is not 1\2.

If 4 paper boxes is added, then probability,

[tex]\frac{20}{40} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of 4 paper boxes is 1\2.

Hence, The probability of randomly selecting a box of paper from this shipment to be exactly 1/2  need to add 4 boxes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alberto is correct in reasoning that all lines and rays are congruent to each other but incorrect in his reasoning about the line segments.

Line segments are equal in measure only when they are equal in length. They can have any orientation on a plane.

Since, AB = 3 units

CD = 4 units

Therefore, AB ≠ CD

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a, b, c, compare the given function to ...

  f(x) = ax² +bx +c

You will see that ...

The y-intercept is the function value for x=0. It is the constant term:

  y-intercept = f(0) = -24

Use the above values of a, b to find the line of symmetry.

  [tex]x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-8}{2\cdot\dfrac{-2}{3}}=8\cdot\dfrac{3}{4}=6[/tex]

Per the calculation, the line of symmetry is ...

  x = 6

The negative leading coefficient tells you the parabola opens DOWN.

Because it opens down, the vertex at (6, 0) is a Maximum.

As with any polynomial, the domain is "all real numbers", hence any x that is an element of Reals.

The range is all values below the vertex (including the vertex), so is ...

  x ≤ 0

Answer:

The ratio of the volumes of the similar solids is 1331:343.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios

Given the ratio of two lengths is a:b. Given a two-dimensional shape is similar to another shape, the ratio of their areas is [tex](a/b)^2[/tex], and the ratio of their volumes is [tex](a/b)^3[/tex].

We know the ratio of the areas of the bases of two similar rectangular prisms is 121:49. Thus, the ratio of its dimensions is:

[tex](a/b)^2=(121/49)[/tex]

Taking the square root:

[tex]a/b = \sqrt{121/49}=11/7[/tex]

Thus, the ratio of the volumes is:

[tex](a/b)^3=(11/7)^3=1331/343[/tex]

The ratio of the volumes of the similar solids is 1331:343.

y=-x

slope for perp line = 1

2y=-x+6

y=-1/2x +3

slope for perp line = 2

15.

i don’t wanna do all sorry it’s a lot of work so i’ll tell u how to do it instead. first write it in slope intercept form which is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

it’s parallel which means it shares the same slope. if it’s perpendicular it would be opposite reciprocals so for -3/2 the perp slope would be 2/3.

the line is

y+1=3/4(x-4)

we distribute the 3/4 so it’s now

y+1=3/4x-3

then we subtract the 1

y=3/4x-4 is the equation boom done

Answer:

The school purchased 4 soccer balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of basketball and soccer ball = $248

We are given: The number of basketballs purchased was 6 less than 3 times the number of soccer balls purchased.

We can write it as

x = Soccer Balls

3x-6 = Basketballs

Cost of each Soccer Ball = $20

Cost of each Basketball = $28

The equation will become

[tex]20(x)+28(3x-6)=248[/tex]

Solving the equation to find x

[tex]20(x)+28(3x-6)=248\\20x+84x-168=248\\104x=248+168\\104x=416\\x=\frac{416}{104} \\x=4[/tex]

So, Soccer balls x = 4

Basketballs = 3x-6 = 3(4)-6 = 12-6 = 6

So, the school purchased 4 soccer balls.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabolas can be written in the form

[tex]y = a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

The vertex is (h, k). The vertex in the graph is (5, 0).

so far, we have

[tex]y = a(x-5)^2+0\\y = a(x-5)^2[/tex]

The other points we are given are (6, 1), (7, 4), (8, 9)

[tex]9 = a(8-5)^2\\9 = a(3)^2\\9 = 9a\\a = 1\\\\4 = a(7-5)^2\\4 = a(2)^2\\4 = 4a\\a = 1\\\\1 = a(6-5)^2\\a = 1[/tex]

In vertex form

[tex]y = (x-5)^2\\y = x^2 - 10x + 25[/tex]
