The number of chips of different colors in Vicky's bag is shown below: 5 blue chips 11 pink chips 9 white chips Vicky takes out

a chip from the bag randomly without looking. She replaces the chip and then takes out another chip from the bag. What is the probability that Vicky takes out a blue chip in both draws?

Answer:

Hence, the probability is:

$\dfrac{1}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chips of different colors in Vicky's bag is shown below:

5 blue chips 11 pink chips 9 white chips.

The total number of chips in Vicky's bag are: 25

( since, 5+11+9=25 chips)

Also,

the choosing of the chip is done on the basis of replacement.

This means when one chip is drawn it is put back into the bag and then the other chip is drawn.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

This means that:

P(Blue)=5/25

( Since there are 5 blue chips out of 25 chips)

As the drawing of chip in first draw is independent of the second draw.

Hence, the probability that Vicky takes out a blue chip in both draws is calculated as:

$P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=P(Blue)\times P(Blue)\\\\P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=\dfrac{5}{25}\times \dfrac{5}{25}\\\\P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=\dfrac{1}{25}$

What's -8.2 x 10 to the fifth power? Please explain your answer. Thank you!

Stolb23 [73]

First lets find -8.2 x 10 = -82 know we find 82^5 which is 82*82*82*82*82

-82*-82=6724 and then 6724*-82= -551368 and then -551368*-82 =45212176 and then 45212176*-82= -3707398432 and finally -3707398432 is our answer i checked the calc to after i did the hard math that took me forever i had some help from the calc and i got this hopefully this helps

4/8 or

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

if there are 8 students and 4 of them study Chemistry then we take those 4 out of the equation then there are 4 left and there are now 4 possibly choses

Suppose that the length of a side of a cube X is uniformly distributed in the interval 9

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9 < x < 10$ --- interval

Required

The probability density of the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is:

$v = x^3$

For a uniform distribution, we have:

$x \to U(a,b)$

and

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}\ a \le x \le b} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$9 < x < 10$ implies that:

$(a,b) = (9,10)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{10-9}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Solve

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{1}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Recall that:

$v = x^3$

Make x the subject

$x = v^\frac{1}{3}$

So, the cumulative density is:

$F(x) = P(x < v^\frac{1}{3})$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$ becomes

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le v^\frac{1}{3} - 9} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

The CDF is:

$F(x) = \int\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9 1\ dx$

Integrate

$F(x) = [v]\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9$

Expand

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

The density function of the volume F(v) is:

$F(v) = F'(x)$

Differentiate F(x) to give:

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{\frac{1}{3}-1}$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

$F(v) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

So:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

A bank loaned out 16,000 $, part of it at the rate of 6% per year and the rest at 14% per year. If the interest received in on

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values. If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.

0.06x + 0.16y = $1500 --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.

x + y = $16000 --> referencing the total amount of money loaned out.

Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
