One bridge in Maryland is 6,946 meters
long. It is 46 times as long as another
nearby bridge. How long is the shorter
bridge? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

151 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

6946/46=151 meters

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to be formal, let the shorter bridge = x

46x = 6946                  Divide by 46

x = 6946/46

x = 151

So the shorter bridge is 151 meters long.

There are 52 cards in a deck, and 13 of them are hearts. Four cards are dealt, one at a time, off the top of a well-shuffled deck. What is the percent chance that a heart turns up on the fourth card, but not before

Answers

Answer:

10.97%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards.

13 of them, are hearts.

Then

52 - 13 = 39 cards are not hearts.

4 cards are drawn, we want to find the percent chance that the fourth card is a heart card, but no before.

So the first card can't be a heart card.

because the deck is well-shuffled, all the cards have the same probability of being drawn.

Then the probability of not getting a heart card, is equal to the quotient between the number of non-heart cards (39) and the total number of cards (52), then the probability is:

p₁ = 39/52

The second card also can't be a heart card, the probability is calculated in the same way than above, but now there are 38 non-heart cards and a total of 51 cards (because one card was already drawn) then the probability here is:

p₂ = 38/51

For the third card the reasoning is similar to the two above cases, here the probability is:

p₃ = 37/50

The fourth card should be a hearts card, the probability is computed in the same way than above, as the quotient between the number of heart cards in the deck (13) and the total number of cards in the deck (now there are 49 cards)

then the probability is:

p₄ = 13/49

The joint probability (the probability of these 4 events happening together) is equal to the product between the individual probabilities:

P = p₁*p₂*p₃*p₄

P = (39/52)*(38/51)*(37/50)*(13/49) = 0.1097

The percent chance is the above number times 100%

Percent =  0.1097*100% = 10.97%

A student majoring in accounting is trying to decide on the number of firms to which he should apply. Given his work experience and grades, he can expect to receive a job offer from 70% of the firms to which he applies. The student decides to apply to only four firms.
(a) What is the probability that he receives no job offer?
(b) How many job offers he expects to get?
(c) What is the probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer?
(d) What assumptions do you need to make to find the probabilities? To increase the chance of securing more job offers, the student decides to apply to as many companies as possible, he sent out 60 applications to all different accounting firms.
(e) What is the probability of him securing more than 3 offers?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0081 = 0.81% probability that he receives no job offer

b) He expects to get 2.8 job offers.

c) 0.0837 = 8.37% probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer.

d) Each job must be independent of other jobs. Additionaly, if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal approximation to the binomial distribution can be used.

e) 0.2401 = 24.01% probability of him securing more than 3 offers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each application, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he gets an offer, or he does not. The probability of getting an offer for a job is independent of any other job, which 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.

He can expect to receive a job offer from 70% of the firms to which he applies.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

The student decides to apply to only four firms.

This means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]

(a) What is the probability that he receives no job offer?

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0081[/tex]

0.0081 = 0.81% probability that he receives no job offer.

(b) How many job offers he expects to get?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]E(X) = 4(0.7) = 2.8[/tex]

He expects to get 2.8 job offers.

(c) What is the probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer?

Less than 2 offers, which is:

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0081[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.7)^{1}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0756[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0081 + 0.0756 = 0.0837[/tex]

0.0837 = 8.37% probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer.

(d) What assumptions do you need to make to find the probabilities? To increase the chance of securing more job offers, the student decides to apply to as many companies as possible, he sent out 60 applications to all different accounting firms.

Each job must be independent of other jobs. Additionaly, if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal approximation to the binomial distribution can be used.

(e) What is the probability of him securing more than 3 offers?

Between 4 and n, since n is 4, 4 offers, so:

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

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.2401[/tex]

0.2401 = 24.01% probability of him securing more than 3 offers.

Four wires (red,green, blue and yellow) need to be attached to a circuit board. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can be attached in any order, and the production manager wishes to determnine which order would be the fastest for the robot to use.

Required:
Use the multiplication rule of counting to determine four choices for the first wire, three for the second wire, two for the third and only one for the fourth.

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The topic here is COMBINATORICS.

The parent topic is PERMUTATIONS & COMBINATORICS.

Permutation deals with arrangement in a definite order while, as stated in the question here, definite order in not needed in Combinatorics.

Now, the multiplication rule of counting, also known as the rule of product, talks about the multiplication of the figures that represent the different ways of doing something.

For example, in this question, the robot needs to attach 4 wires to a circuit board. If you know how Physics or Electricity works, you'll that truly this is a combination matter and not permutation.

Putting/Connecting the 4 wires together (in a square shaped circuit for instance), the arrangement RGBY is different from RGYB or RBGY.

So there will be more ways to connect or combine these wires, than if we were to follow a definite rule like: "Red and Green must always stay together".

So using the multiplication rule of counting to determine 4 choices for the Red wire, 3 choices for the Green wire, 2 choices for the Blue wire, and 1 choice for the yellow wire, we have:

R4 x G3 x B2 x Y1  =  4 x 3 x 2 x 1  =  4!  =  24

The term "4!" means "Four Factorial".

In a car lot, the ratio of the number of new cars to the number of preowned cars is 6 to 5. The total number of new and preowned cars on the lot is 66. If 4 new cars and 2 preowned cars are sold and are removed from the lot, what fraction of the remaining cars on the lot are preowned?

Answers

So the lot has (6/(6+5))*100 percent of new cars and 66*(6/11)*100 percent = 36 new cars before the sale, hence 66-36 =30 preowned cars before sale. After the sale it’s 32 new cars and 28 preowned so 32/28 makes it 8/7

The fraction of the remaining cars in the lot that are preowned is 7/15

In order to determine the fraction of the remaining cars in the lot that are preowned, we have to first determine the total number of new cars and preowned cars before the sale occurred.

Total number of preowned cars before the sales = (ratio of preowned cars / total ratio) x total number of cars

ratio of preowned cars = 5

total ratio = 6 + 5 = 11

total number of cars = 66

(5/11) x 66 = 30 cars

Total number of new cars before the sale = (ratio of new cars / total ratio) x total number of cars

ratio of new cars = 6

total ratio = 6 + 5 = 11

total number of cars = 66

(6/11) x 66 = 36 cars

Total number of new cars after the sale = total number of new cars before the sale - number of new cars sold

36 - 4 = 32

Total number of preowned cars after the sale = total number of preowned cars before the sale - number of preowned cars sold

30 - 2 = 28

The fraction of the remaining cars on the lot that are preowned = number of preowned cars after the sale / total number of cars on the lot after the sale

total number of cars on the lot after the sale = 28 + 32 = 60

28/60

In how many ways can 10 people be divided into three groups with 2, 3, and 5 people respectively?

Answers

Answer:

2100

Step-by-step explanation:

In how many ways can a group of 10 people be divided into three groups consisting of 2,3, and 5 people?

First, you need to choose 4 people to fill the first group.

The number of ways is (104) which equals to 210.

Then, pick 3 more people out of the remaining 6 to be in the second group. And then, pick 3 more out of the remaining 3.

However, we need to divide it by 2, since we don’t really care on the order of selection of group.

(63)(33)/2=10

So, there are 210 x 10 = 2100 ways

If a preliminary data indicate a standard deviation of 20g . What sample of adults should be selected for the study?​

Answers

Answer:

With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations for protein intake may be insufficient to achieve this goal and that individuals might benefit by increasing their intake and frequency of consumption of high-quality protein. However, the environmental effects of increasing animal-protein production are a concern, and alternative, more sustainable protein sources should be considered. Protein is known to be more satiating than other macronutrients, and it is unclear whether diets high in plant proteins affect the appetite of older adults as they should be recommended for individuals at risk of malnutrition. The review considers the protein needs of an ageing population (>40 years old), sustainable protein sources, appetite-related implications of diets high in plant proteins, and related areas for future research.

jess wants to buy a car but she cannot decide if she should buy a Honda or a Kia. The Honda costs $16,000 and depreciates at an annual rate of 8%. The Kia costs $12,000 and depreciates at an annual rate of 12%. What will each car be worth in 5 years? In 10 years? Which car should she buy and why?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Honda : 16,000

each year depreciates 8% from 100% so will be left with 100-8 =92% or 0.92

in 5 years : 16,000* 0.92^5 ≈ $10,545.30

in 10 years : 16,000* 0.92^10 ≈ $6,950.22

Kia : $12,000

each year depreciates 12 % from 100% so will be left with 100-12 =88% or 0.88

in 5 years : 12,000* 0.88^5 ≈ $6,332.78

in 10 years : 12,000* 0.88^10 ≈ $3,342.01

Jess should buy the Honda if wants to use it for 5 years or less because although is more expensive than Kia, it depreciates less in 5 years.

In 5 years the difference in depreciation is 10,545.30 -6,332.78= $ 4,212.52 this is greater that the difference in the actual price 16,000-12,000 =$ 4,000

Jess should buy the Kia if wants to use the car for 10 years or more because Kia will depreciates less than Honda in 10 years.

In 10 years the difference in depreciation is 6,950.22 -3,342.01 =$ 3, 608.21 this is lower that the difference in the actual price 16,000-12,000 =$ 4,000

In Canada, just like in China, eating at McDonalds was a novelty for us. In the wake of post-Mao economic reforms, the belated introduction of the Golden Arches to China represented a whole ethos about what constituted the good life. Fast food might connote easy accessibility or overindulgence in the West, but McDonalds presented a different kind of comfort for my family and me. The cost of a burger was hardly a trivial thing for us at the time, and my parents didnt actually treat me to meals there all that often. When they did, we always got takeout so we could eat our burgers and fries around our Formica dining table, on our own plates. The hope was to have our fast food as slowly as we could. The Filet-O-Fish became my menu item of choice. Its virtues are too many to count; doing so would be futile. As McDonalds only seafood-based option, the Filet-O-Fishs semblance of relative health appealed to my parents. Luckily it was also McDonalds most delicious item. It played to my Chinese palate: While other McDonalds buns were toasted, the Filet-O-Fishs was steamed, much like the baozi2. From its honeyed starch to its tangy tartar and savory fillet, the taste of the Filet-O-Fish carries an ineffable umami-ness. At once sweet and sour, it reminds me of orange-chicken sauce: a plausibly Chinese flavor mass-produced in America. Eating one always felt transportive the equivalent of Prousts madeleine3 for my Chinese diasporic upbringing. The Filet-O-Fish is the gold standard of fast food for many Asian-Americans, as well as other minority American communities. Invented by an Ohio franchise owner in 1962, the first Filet-O-Fish was the answer to the problem of McDonalds falling sales on Fridays, when observant Catholics abstained from eating meat. Born from an attempt to market fast food to as many people as possible, the tasty little unit has since been further claimed by everyone from fish-loving Chinese-Americans to practicing Muslims to well, anyone with taste. By 1965 the sandwich had gone national. Its appeal is inscrutable, perhaps out of proportion to its paltry constituent parts. Consider the recognizably flaky fish patty, made from the ubiquitous Alaskan pollock. Pollock is everywhere, writes the marine fisheries biologist Kevin M. Bailey in the book Billion-Dollar Fish. It is the pure white meat in fish sticks bought at Walmart and Filet-O-Fish burgers ordered in McDonalds. But you wouldnt want the fish to be more interesting. The generic quality of pollocks fishiness common enough for various cuisines to lay claim to it is part of its allure. So maybe what makes the sandwich beloved isnt its taste at all, but the juxtaposition of its elements: A single fillet of fried fish, topped with a thin slice of American cheese and tartar sauce, all of it cradled in a bun whose impossible roundness suggests the triumph of industrial food production. As a child, I was under the fantasy that my obsession with such a strange sandwich was eccentric. When I went to McDonalds with friends who got Chicken McNuggets Happy Meals or cheeseburgers, ordering the Filet-O-Fish made me feel as if I was in on some sort of secret. After a few years in Montreal, my dad landed a good government job in Victoria, British Columbia. On our drive across Canada, we indulged in the prospect of my dads earning a real salary by eating at McDonalds almost daily, a whirlwind of Filet-O-Fish meals (for me) and hamburgers (for my parents). But my experience was shattered when I, fancying myself different, pointed out that my parents both loved hamburgers while I, a renegade, preferred the Filet-O-Fish. Well, I like the Filet-O-Fish most too, my mother put it candidly. But it is expensive, so we only buy it for you. These days, the sandwich is more expensive than ever; its also less beautiful than I remember. At some point, the Filet-O-Fish underwent rebranding: An ostentatious paper box replaced the modest blue wrapper, while what I remember being a full slice of cheese seems to have shrank by half. McDonalds insists that the cheese has always been half a slice so as not to overwhelm the fishiness of the fillet. Todays unboxing experience most often reveals limp cheese sagging off the patty, frequently stuck to the ill-advised box. Where is the madeleine of my youth?
