At an airshow, 8 skydivers were released from a plane in a circle formation. Each skydiver was connected to each of the other skydivers with a separate pieces of ribbon. How many pieces of ribbon were used in the skydiving act?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ribbon connects two skydivers, and there are 8 skydivers total, then we can do 8C2, which is equal to (8*7)/2, which is equal to 28. An alternate solution is to think of it this way. Skydiver 1 is connected to everyone else, which is 7 other people. Skydiver 2 is connected to everyone else but Skydiver 1, which is 6 other people. This goes on until Skydiver 8 is already connected with everyone. So we have 7+6+5+4+3+2+1+0, which is also equal to 28.

Answer 2

The total number of pieces of ribbons that were used in the skydiving act is 28 ribbons

What are Combinations?

The number of ways of selecting r objects from n unlike objects is:

The equation for combination is

ⁿCₓ = n! / ( ( n - x )! x! )

where

n = total number of objects

x = number of choosing objects from the set

Given data ,

The total number of skydivers in the plane n = 8 skydivers

Each  skydiver was connected to each of the other skydivers with a separate pieces of ribbon

So , the number of choosing skydivers x = 2

Now , the total number of ribbons used is calculated by combination

So , the equation is

ⁿCₓ = n! / ( ( n - x )! x! )

Substitute the value of n and x in the equation , we get

⁸C₂ = 8! / ( ( 8 - 2 )! x 2! )

      = 8! / ( 6! x 2! )

      = 8 x 7 / 2 x 1

      = 56 / 2

      = 28 ribbons

Hence , The total number of pieces of ribbons that were used in the skydiving act is 28 ribbons

Answers

Answer:

20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

four blue shirts, two green shirts, two gray shirts, one white shirt and one red shirt = 10 shirts

P(red) = number of red shirts / total

          = 2/10

          = 1/5

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

4 blue

2 green

A trader purchased 1,000 books at the rate of $5.40 per book and spent $200 towards transportation. If he wants to earn a profit of 12.5%, at what price should he sell each book?
( with explanation )

Answers

Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

The diameter of a cylinder is 10 feet. The height of the cylinder is 15 feet. What is the approximate volume of the cylinder rounded to the nearest cubic foot? Use 3.14 for π.

Answers

Answer:

1,178 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder is given by following formula

volume = [tex]\pi r^2l[/tex]

where r is the radius for cylinder and l is the height of cylinder.

____________________

given

diameter of cylinder = 10 feet

radius is half diameter

thus, radius = diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 feet

height of the cylinder = 15 feet.

[tex]volume = \pi r^2l\\=> volume = 3.14* 5^2*15\\=> volume = 3.14* 25*15 = 1,177.5[/tex]

Thus, volume of cylinder is 1,177.5 cubic feet

volume of cylinder,rounded to the nearest cubic foot, is 1,178 cubic feet.

Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms. 2x-5y=-21 3x-3y=-18 What are the resulting equations?

Answers

Answer:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to multiply the two equations by a constant that will eliminate the y terms.

The two equations are:

2x - 5y = -21

3x - 3y = -18

Let us multiply the first by 3 and the second by 6. The resulting equations will be:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Note: To solve the system of equations we can simply subtract the first from the second.

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?
-2x + y = 0
-73 + 3y = 2

Answers

Answer:

The result is 2x + 2y - 73 = 2.

-2x + y = 0 (equation1)
-73 + 3y = 2 (equation 2)
First of all, rearrange and simplify equation so they’re in the format of y= ax + b.

Equation 1
-2x + y = 0
y = 2x + 0
y = 2x

Equation2:
-73+3y=2
3y = 2 + 73
3y = 75
3y/3 = 75/3
y= 25
Subtract second equation from first:)
y= 2x - 25

What is the weight of a square if a triangle weighs 4 grams? Explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

8 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance is in equilibrium, so the weights of the two sides are equal.

Let the weight of a square be s.

Left side: 2s + 4

Right side: s + 3(4) = s + 12

The weights are equal, so we set the two expressions equal.

2s + 4 = s + 12

s = 8

Answer: The weight of a square is 8 grams.

What is the probability of selecting a Random sample of n=4scores with a mean less than m=51? What is the probability of selecting a sample of n=36scores with a mean less than m=51?

Answers

Answer:

A)The probability of randomly selecting a score less than X=51 is 0.3085

B)The probability of selecting a Random sample of n=4scores with a mean less than m=51 is 0.1587

C)The probability of selecting a sample of n=36scores with a mean less than m=51 is 0.0013

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean =[tex]\mu = 54[/tex]

Standard deviation =[tex]\sigma = 6[/tex]

A)What is the probability of randomly selecting a score less than X=51 i.e. P(x<51)?

Formula : [tex]Z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{51-54}{6}[/tex]

Z=-0.5

Refer the Z table for p value

So, P(x<51)=0.3085

So,the probability of randomly selecting a score less than X=51 is 0.3085

B)What is the probability of selecting a Random sample of n=4scores with a mean less than m=51?

Formula : [tex]Z =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{51-54}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{4}}}[/tex]

Z=-1

Refer the Z table for p value

So, P(x<51)=0.1587

So, the probability of selecting a Random sample of n=4scores with a mean less than m=51 is 0.1587

C) What is the probability of selecting a sample of n=36scores with a mean less than m=51?

Formula : [tex]Z =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{51-54}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{36}}}[/tex]

Z=-3

Refer the Z table for p value

So, P(x<51)=0.0013

So,the probability of selecting a sample of n=36scores with a mean less than m=51 is 0.0013
