In july in seattle, the grass grows 1/2 inch a day on a sunny day and 1/4 inch a day on a cloudy day. in seattle, in july, 75% of the days are sunny and 25% of the days are cloudy.
a.find the expected value of grass growth for the day
b.find the expected value of grass growth for the month of july ( 31 days ) -- round both to 2 decimal placees
Final answer:
Calculate the expected grass growth in Seattle based on the daily growth rates for sunny and cloudy days, then find the expected growth for the month of July.
Explanation:
a. Expected value of grass growth for the day:
Expected growth = (0.75 x 0.5) + (0.25 x 0.25) = 0.4375 inches
b. Expected value of grass growth for the month of July:
Expected growth for July = 31 days x Expected growth per day = 31 x 0.4375 = 13.56 inches
Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 9?
John rolls a number cube twice. What is the probability that the sum of the 2 rolls is less than 7, given that the first roll is a 1?
one over six
one over three
one over two
five over six
Answer: The correct option is (d) five over six.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that John rolls a number cube twice. We are to find the probability that the sum of the 2 rolls is less than 8 given that he first roll is a 1.
The sample space of an event of rolling a cube is
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
That is, n(S) = 6.
Now, let 'A' be the event that the sum of the two rolls is less than 7, then
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
That is, n(A) = 5.
So, the probability of happening of event A is given by
[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{5}{6}.[/tex]
Thus, the required probability is five over six.
Option (d) is correct.
The difference of two numbers is 44 1/2 . If the smaller of the two numbers increases 7 times then the difference will be 10 3/14 . Find the numbers.
The numbers are: ___ ,___ or ____,___
The smaller number is 11 and the larger number is [tex]55 \frac{1}{2}[/tex].
Let's denote the two numbers as x and y, where x is the smaller number. We're given that [tex]y - x = 44 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]7x - y = 10 \frac{3}{14}[/tex].
To solve this system of equations, we can use substitution or elimination. Let's use elimination:
1. Multiply the second equation by 2 to clear fractions: [tex]14x - 2y = 20 \frac{6}{14}[/tex].
2. Add the modified second equation to the first equation:
[tex](y - x) + (14x - 2y) = 44 \frac{1}{2} + 20 \frac{6}{14}[/tex]
[tex]13x - y = 64 \frac{11}{14}[/tex]
Now, we have a simpler equation: [tex]13x - y = 64 \frac{11}{14}[/tex].
3. Add this equation to the original second equation to find x:
[tex]7x - y + 13x - y = 10 \frac{3}{14} + 64 \frac{11}{14}[/tex]
[tex]20x - 2y = 75[/tex]
4. Now, we can solve this equation along with the first equation to find x and y.
After solving, we get x = 11 and [tex]y = 55 \frac{1}{2}[/tex].
The smaller number is 11 and the larger number is [tex]55 \frac{1}{2}[/tex].
Thus, the numbers are [tex]{11 \text{ and } 55 \frac{1}{2}}[/tex].

1. Add or subtract.
a. (x^2 - 4 x + 5) + (7x^2 + 2x + 3)
b. (7x^2 + 4x - 6) - (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
1a.
Answer is 8x² - 2x + 8
(x² - 4x + 5) + (7x² + 2x + 3)
The parentheses can go away since this is all addition (associative property of addition)
x² - 4 x + 5 + 7x² + 2x + 3
Combine like terms.
(x^2 + 7x²) + (-4x + 2x) + (5 + 3) = 8x² - 2x + 8
======
1b.
Answer is 5x^2 + 7x - 7
(7x² + 4x - 6) - (2x² - 3x + 1)
Distribute the negative into the right parentheses.
(7x² + 4x - 6) - (2x² - 3x + 1)
= 7x² + 4x - 6 - 2x² + 3x - 1
= (7x² - 2x²) + (4x + 3x) + (-6 - 1)
= 5x^2 + 7x - 7
