There was a seller of horses, who sold all his horses to three people. To the first man he sold half of all his horses and a half of a horse. To the second man he sold half of what he had left and a half of a horse. To the third man he again sold half of what was left and a half of a horse. How many horses did he have at first? (No horses were harmed!)

Answer:

(a)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

(b)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

(i) Probability is the likelihood of whether or not an event will occur. It is given by the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of expected outcomes. i.e

P = number of favourable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes

For drawing a first card which is black,

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 black cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 52 (since the total number of cards in a deck of card is 52)

∴ Probability of drawing the first black card = 26 / 52 = 1 / 13

Since the second card is not a black card, it is a red card.

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 red cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 51 (since a black card has been previously picked from the deck)

∴ Probability of drawing a second black card = 26 / 51

The probability that the second is not a black card is 26 / 51

(ii) The conditional probability of a given event B is the probability that the event will occur knowing that a previous event A has already occurred,

It is given by;

P(B|A) = P(A and B) ÷ P(A)

In this case;

event B is drawing a second card which is not black

event A is drawing a first card which is black

This implies that;

P(A and B) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

P(A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Substitute these values in the equation for conditional probability as follows;

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{13}{1}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Therefore the conditional probability is  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Perimeter = 33.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 horizontal lines are 10 and 3 units long.

The vertical line is 9 units long.

By Pythagoras the length of the sloping line

= sqrt(9^2 + 7^2)

= sqrt(130)

= 11.4017.

Perimeter = 10 + 3 + 9 + 11.4

= 33.4 units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the meters into miles/kilometers to get your answer

The average speed of the runner is 9 meters per second.

The average speed is calculated for a period of time while instantaneous speed is calculated at certain instant of time.

For instantaneous speed and average speed are equal for an object moving with constant speed.

The distance travelled and time are given as 450 meters and 50 seconds respectively.

The average speed is given as,

Total distance travelled ÷ Total time taken

= 450 ÷ 50

= 9

400 - 58.4 = 341.6

Less than is subtraction.

Subtract 58.4 from 400

400 - 58.4 = 341.6

Answer:

1/4 in 36 hours

1/8 in 72 hours

To determine the fraction of the original drug dose remaining after a certain time, we can use the concept of half-life. The half-life is the time it takes for half of the drug to decay or be eliminated from the bloodstream.

Given that the half-life of the drug is 18 hours, we can calculate the fraction of the original drug dose remaining after a certain number of hours.

After 18 hours (one half-life), half of the drug remains, which is equal to 1/2 or 0.5 of the original dose.

To find the fraction remaining after 36 hours (two half-lives), we can halve the remaining amount from the previous step:

(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 or 0.25

Therefore, after 36 hours, 1/4 or 0.25 of the original drug dose remains.

To find the fraction remaining after 72 hours (four half-lives), we can continue halving the remaining amount:

(1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/16 or 0.0625

Therefore, after 72 hours, 1/16 or 0.0625 of the original drug dose remains.

In summary:

After 36 hours, 1/4 or 0.25 of the original drug dose remains.

After 72 hours, 1/16 or 0.0625 of the original drug dose remains.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is linear, then the difference between each x/y coordinate is constant, representing the slope of a straight line. We can find the slope of that line by using the slope formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

For use we will use the coordinates (11, 24.15) and (12, 26.05) from the data as our x and y values respectively. Filling in the formula:

[tex]m=\frac{26.05-24.15}{12-11}[/tex] which gives us the cost per gallon of gas as

m = 1.90

Now that we know the cost per gallon of gas (which is also the slope of the line we are looking for), we will use that slope value, m, and write the equation in point-slope form and then solve it for y. Point-slope form of a line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where y1 and x 1 are the coordinates from a given data point. We can use either one; regradless of the point we choose as x and y, we'll get the same exact answer every time. Let's use the coordinate (12, 26.05) and fill in the point-slope form of the line:

y - 26.05 = 1.90(x - 12) and then we will distribute and solve for y:

y - 26.05 = 1.90x - 22.80 and

y = 1.90x + 3.25

That's the equation we need to solve for what the second part of the question is asking us to, which is to find the cost, y, of filling a tank that is 26 gallons, x. Fill in 26 for x and solve for y:

y = 1.90(26) + 3.25 and

y = 49.40 + 3.25 so

y = $52.65

Answer:

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each consumer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they recognize the name, or they do not. The probability of a customer recognizing the name is independent of anu other customer. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The brand name of Mrs. Fields (cookies) has a 90% recognition rate.

This means that [tex]p = 0.9[/tex].

Sample of 10

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

Find the probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

This is P(X = 9). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.9)^{9}.(0.1)^{1} = 0.3874[/tex]

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

Also, find the probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

1(100%) subtracted by those who recognize. So

1 - 0.3874 = 0.6126

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

Company A $4 per table (seats 4) and a $25 one-time delivery and pickup fee Company B $2 per chair and a $15 one-time delivery and pickup fee Each table seats 4 people, so Lorenzo needs to rent 4 chairs for every table. x = number of tables Cost to rent tables from Company A: f(x) = 4x + 25 Cost to rent chairs from Company B: g(x) = 2(4x) + 15 Which function represents the total cost for Lorenzo to rent x number of tables and the chairs he needs to go with them?

A) 12x

B) 12x² + 40

C) 12x + 40

D) 8x + 40

Answer:

C: 12x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the Cost to rent tables from Company A is;

f(x) = 4x + 25

Also, we are told that the Cost to rent tables from Company B is;

g(x) = 2(4x) + 15

Thus, total cost for Lorenzo to rent x number of tables and the chairs he needs is;

Total = f(x) + g(x)

Total = 4x + 25 + 2(4x) + 15

Total = 4x + 25 + 8x + 15

Total = 12x + 40
