The theoretical probability of selecting a consonant at random from a list of letters in the alphabet is 21/26. Wayne opens a book, randomly selects a letter on the page and records the letter. He repeats the experiment 200 times. He finds p(consonant) = 60%. How does the theoretical probability differ from the experimental probability? What are some possible sources for this discrepancy. I will mark brainlest

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The theoretical probability in this case is calculated by taking the number of consonants in the alphabet and dividing it by total number of letters in the alphabet and the distribution of letters in the written language is different than the distribution of letters in the alphabet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To encode a message, James first replaces each letter within the message with its
corresponding number, where A = 1, B = 2, · · · , Y = 25, and Z = 26. Next, James
multiplies each number by 3 and then subtracts 5, and continues this process a total
of n times. For example, when n = 2 the letter D is encoded to the number 16.
If James encoded a four letter message to the four numbers 367 205 853 1339, what
is the value of n that he used?
(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5 (E) 6

Answers

A is the correct answer

The value of n is 4. That means, the process is applied 4 times.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is a mathematical arithmetic operation. It is also a process of adding the same types of expression for some number of times.

Example - 2 × 3 means 2 is added three times, or 3 is added 2 times.

Given:

To encode a message,

James first replaces each letter within the message with its corresponding number, where A = 1, B = 2, · · ·, Y = 25, and Z = 26. Next, James multiplies each number by 3 and then subtracts 5, and continues this process a total of n times.

To find the value of n:

We use process inversely.

Let m be the given number.

For example,

m = 16

The inverse process;

add 5 and then divide by 3 until we get the whole number.

So, first time

(16 + 5)/3 = 21/3 = 7,

Second time applying process,

(7+5)/3 = 4.

And the corresponding letter is D.

And the value of n is 2.

Now, m = 367

Applying process inversely,

First time,

(367 + 5) / 3 = 124

Second time,

(124+5)/3 = 43

Third time,

(43+5)/3 = 16

Fourth time,

(16+5)/3 = 7

m = 205

Applying process inversely,

First time,

(205+ 5) / 3 = 70

Second time,

(70+5)/3 = 25

Third time,

(25+5)/3 = 10

Fourth time,

(10+5)/3 = 5

m = 853

Applying process inversely,

First time,

(853+ 5) / 3 = 286

Second time,

(286+5)/3 = 97

Third time,

(97+5)/3 = 34

Fourth time,

(34+5)/3 = 13

m = 1339

Applying process inversely,

First time,

(1339+ 5) / 3 = 448

Second time,

(448+5)/3 = 151

Third time,

(151+5)/3 = 52

Fourth time,

(52+5)/3 = 19

We applied the process 4 times.

Therefore, the value of n is 4.

Get a common denominator

3 1/8 - 1/2 *4/4

3 1/8 - 4/8

Borrow 1 from the 3 in the form of 8/8

2 + 8/8+1/8 - 4/8

2 9/8 - 4/4

Answer:

21/8 or 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find a common denominator for 1/2 to have the same denominator as 3 1/8:

1/2 is equal to 4/8, which has the same denominator as 3 1/8.

Step 2: Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction so it will be easier to subtract.

3 1/8 = 25/8

Step 3: Now subtract:

25/8 - 4/8 = 21/8 or 2 5/8 (keep the denominator the same)

246.78 inches
277.56 inches
331.56 inches

please help lol

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 192.78 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An oval is formed by a rectangle with semicircles at each end. We can visualize this easily.

The length of the rectangle is 54 inches.

The width of the rectangle is 27 inches.

The perimeter of rectangle is =  

=  

= 162 inches

And because there are two semicircles, we can combine them to form a circle. So, perimeter of a circle is called a circumference.

The width of the rectangle forms the diameter, so its half will be the radius.

r =  

The circumference is given by :  

=  inches

Now as the described oval shape is a complete figure without lines inside, we will subtract the width of both sides of the rectangle from the complete perimeter.

The complete perimeter is =  inches

The inner edge perimeter will be =  = 192.78 inches

Now find z, the hypotenuse.

[tex](\sqrt{13}) ^2 + (\sqrt{29.25} )^2 =z^2\\\\13 + 29.25 = z^2\\\\42.25 = z^2\\\\\sqrt{42.25} = z\\\\6.5 = z[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

228cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas we'll use: area of a rectangle is length x width, and area of a triangle = 1/2x base x height

the base is a rectangle, 10 by 3 cm. 10 x 3 = 30cm^2

the sides are also rectangles, 13 by 3 cm. 13 x 3 = 39, but there are 2 of them, 39 x 2 = 78cm^2

The top and bottom are triangles, 1/2(10)(12) = 1/2(120) = 60, but there are 2 of them, 60 x 2 = 120cm^2

Add up the areas to get your total surface area. It's in square cm

30 + 78 + 120 = 228cm^2

228cm^2
