a carnival booth duck game offer cash prizes. the booth at 75 plastic ducks floating around in a wading pool. 4 ducks have a green stars on the underside, and you win $10 for selecting a duck with a green star. it costs $1 to select a duck. is this a fair game?
Answer:
No, it is not fair
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to check if this is a fair game
To win a sum, a duck with a green star on the underside must be selected
The number of ducks with this is 4 out of 75
The probability of selecting one is 4/75
The expected value of selecting is ;
4/75 * 10 = 0.5333
The cost of selecting a duck is $1
The probability that a duck that wins will not be selected is 71/75 which at a price of $1 is 0.9467
Since the price to lose and the amount to win is not the same, then the game is not fair

What is the area of the rhombus?Let a be the length and h be the height of the rhombus.
Then the area will be
Area = a × h square units
If x = 12 units, y = 4 units, and h = 8 units.
Then the area of the rhombus will be
A = 12 × 8
A = 96 square units.
Then the correct option is B.

Decide whether enough information is given to prove that the triangles are congruent. If so, state the theorem you would use
not enough information provided
yes; AAS Congruence Theorem
yes; SAS Congruence Theorem
yes; SSS Congruence Theorem
Answer:
Yes; AAS Congruence Theorem
Proof:
In [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and [tex]\triangle QRS[/tex]:
[tex]\angle BAC = \angle RQS[/tex] (given)
[tex]\angle ABC = \angle QRS[/tex] (given)
[tex]AC =QS[/tex] (given)
∴ [tex]\triangle ABC \cong \triangle QRS[/tex] (AAS)
There is enough information to prove that the two triangles are congruent through the AAS congruence theorem.

Answer: x = 3. the length of side ST is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both sides are equal, we can use the equation 3x + 5 = 5x - 1.
To start the problem, we subtract 3x from each side which makes our equation 5 = 2x - 1.
The next step would be to simplify the equation by adding 1 to each side which makes our equation 6 = 2x.
We then need to simplify the equation to x = 3.
This means the answer to 9 is x = 3.
For the next problem, since we already know the value of x, we substitute its value which in this case would be 3. This leaves us with an equation of 9 + 5, which equals 14.
This means the length of side ST is 14.
A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound
B. If a chemist wants to make 621 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound A are needed?
Answer:
884
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the ratio of A to B is 5:8
let x = the multiplier
then
5x = amt of compound A
and
8x = amt of compound B
:
5x + 8x = 884
13x = 884
x = 884/13
x = 68 is the multiplier
therefore
5(68) = 340 millilters of compound A needed
:
:
Confirm our answer. Find the amt of B
8(68) = 544 ml of B
340 + 544 = 884

Solve the following equation: 3x + 6 = 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+6=9
3x=9-6
3x=2
x=1.5
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation, leaving 3x=3.
We put both sides over 3 to divide.
We are left with x=3
To test this, we substitute x with 1.

Answer:
y=-1/8x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, write the equation in point-slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-1=-1/8(x-24)
2. Distribute -1/8 to x and -24
-1/8 times x = -1/8x
-1/8 times -24 = 3
y-1=-1/8x+3
3. Add 1 to both sides
y=-1/8x +4

A teacher buys 5 pizzas. Each slice is 1/8 of a pizza. How many slices are there in total?
1/40 slice
4 slices
20 slices
40 slices
Answer:
40 slices
Step-by-step explanation:
Each slice = 1/8 pizza
Pizza = 8 slices
5 pizza = 5 x 8 slices
5 pizza = 40 slices
The total number of slices in 5 pizzas if each slice is 1/8 of a pizza is 40 slices
Solving equationTotal pizza bought = 5Each slice = 1/8Total slices of pizza = Total pizza bought ÷ Each slice
= 5 ÷ 1/8
= 5 × 8/1
= 40 slices
Therefore, the total number of slices in 5 pizzas if each slice is 1/8 of a pizza is 40 slices

two supplementary angles are in a ratio of 7:11. find the measures of each angle
Answer:
70° and 110°
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles sum to 180°
sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 11 = 18 parts
Divide 180° by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
180° ÷ 18 = 10° ← value of 1 part, thus
7 parts = 7 × 10° = 70°
11 parts = 11 × 10° = 110°
The 2 angles are 70° and 110°

A beetle that Hannah observed was too small to draw at its actual size. Hannah decided to make a scale drawing of the beetle as shown above. The beetle in the drawing is 7.62 cm long and 3.81 cm wide. The scale factor of her drawing is 3. Part A: Find the actual length of the beetle Hannah observed. Show all work. Part B: Find the actual width of the beetle Hannah observed. Show all work. Part C: The actual length of each of the beetle's antennae is 0.2 cm. What is the size of each antenna on Hannah's scale drawing? Show all work.
Answer:
[tex]Actual\ Length = 2.54\ cm[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Width = 1.27\ cm[/tex]
[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.6\ cm[/tex] --- Beetle's antennae
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The following scale measurements
[tex]Length = 7.62cm[/tex]
[tex]Width = 3.81cm[/tex]
[tex]Scale\ Factor = 3[/tex]
Solving (a): The actual length.
We simply divide the scale length by the scale factor.
[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{Scale\ Length}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{7.62cm}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Length = 2.54\ cm[/tex]
Solving (b): The actual width.
We simply divide the scale width by the scale factor.
[tex]Actual\ Width = \frac{Scale\ Width}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Width = \frac{3.81\ cm}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Actual\ Width = 1.27\ cm[/tex]
Solving (c):
Given: Actual Length of the beetle's antennae is 0.2 cm.
Required: Determine the scale measurement.
This is solved using:
[tex]Actual\ Length = \frac{Scale\ Length}{Scale\ Factor}[/tex]
[tex]0.2\ cm = \frac{Scale\ Length}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.2cm * 3[/tex]
[tex]Scale\ Length = 0.6\ cm[/tex]
