Nine new employees, two of whom are married to each other, are to be assigned nine desks that are lined up in a row. If the assignment of employees to desks is made randomly, what is the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a married couple in nonadjacent desks is the total number of probabilities minus the probabilities of having them in adjacent places divide by total number of outcomes

The total possibilities (outcomes) of 9 elements in a row is:

P(₉) = 9!

P(₉) = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₉) = 362880

And the outcomes in which they are adjacent to each other is:

We consider them as one unit them we in this situation have 8 elements

P(₈) = 8!

P(₈) = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₈) = 40320

Then the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks is:

P = P(₉)  -  P(₈) / P(₉)

P =  362880 - 40320 / 362880

P = 322560/ 362880

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

An 8-pack of beaded necklaces costs $7.60. What is the unit price?


Answers

Answer:

The unit price is $0.95 per pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price, we must find the price per pack of beaded necklaces.  To do this, we should divide the total price ($7.60) by the number of items in the package (8).

$7.60/8 = $0.95

Therefore, the answer is that the unit price is $0.95.

n urn contains 3 red balls, 9 green, 2 yellow, 2 orange, and 4 purple balls. Two balls aredrawn, one at a time with replacement. Find the probability of drawing a green ball and an orangeball.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{9}{100}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of red balls, n(R) = 3

Number of green balls, n(G) = 9

Number of yellow balls, n(Y) = 2

Number of orange balls, n(O) = 2

Number of purple balls, n(P) = 4

Two balls are drawn one at a time with replacement.

To find:

Probability of drawing a green ball and an orange ball ?

Solution:

Total number of balls, n(Total) = 3 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 20

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

Probability that a green ball is drawn at first:

[tex]P(Green) = \dfrac{\text{Number of Green balls}}{\text {Total number of Balls}}[/tex]

[tex]P(Green) = \dfrac{9}{20}[/tex]

Now, the ball is replaced , so total number of balls remain the same i.e. 20.[tex]P(Orange) = \dfrac{\text{Number of Orange balls}}{\text {Total number of Balls}}[/tex]

[tex]P(Orange) = \dfrac{2}{20} = \dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

Alice wrote three consecutive even numbers. The sum of these numbers was 252.

Pat wrote three consecutive odd numbers. Pat's numbers were larger than Alice's numbers.

The difference between the largest of Pat's numbers and the largest of Alice's numbers was 25.

What was the sum of Pat's numbers?

Answers

Answer:

333

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent Alice's numbers and p represent Pat's numbers.

Alice wrote three consecutive even numbers. The sum of the three is 252. This means:

[tex]a+(a+2)+(a+4)=252[/tex]

The first term is even. Each consecutive even term is two more than the previous term. Simplify:

[tex]3a+6=252\\3a=246\\a=84[/tex]

In other words, Alice's first number was 84.

Pat wrote three consecutive odd numbers. His numbers were larger than Alice's numbers. Similar to Alice, we can write:

[tex](p+1)+(p+3)+(p+5)=x[/tex]

The first term is odd. Each consecutive odd term will be 1 more, then 3 more, then 5, etc. We want to find Pat's sum, or x.

We are told that the difference between the largest of Pat's and Alice's  numbers is 25. Therefore:

[tex](p+5)-(a+4)=25[/tex]

Simplify. Substitute a. Solve for p:

[tex]p-a+1=25\\p-84=24\\p=108[/tex]

Therefore, Pat's sum is:

[tex](108+1)+(108+3)+(108+5)=333[/tex]

Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour. She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes. If the river flows at 5 km/hr, how fast can Kelli swim in still water?

Answers

Answer:

6.11km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y

Speed of the river = 5km/hr

Distance = Speed × Time

Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour

Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:

1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance

Distance = Y - 5

She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes

Downstream takes a positive sign

Converting 6 minutes to hour =

60 minutes = 1 hour

6 minutes =

Cross Multiply

6/60 = 1/10 hour

Hence, Distance =

1/10 × (Y + 5)

= Y/10 + 1/2

Equating both equations we have:

Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2

Collect like terms

Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2

9Y/10 = 5 1/2

9Y/ 10 = 11/2

Cross Multiply

9Y × 2 = 10 × 11

18Y = 110

Y = 110/18

Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr

Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.

In March, Mateo ran 19 miles. In April, he ran twice as many miles as he ran in March. In May, he ran four times as many miles as he did in April. How many total miles did Mateo run in the three months? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

209

Step-by-step explanation:

march = 19 miles

april = 19 times 2 = 38

may = 38 times 4 = 152

so that'd be 19 + 38 + 152 = 209 miles in total.

209 miles Mateo ran in the three months.

What is Simplification?

Simplification in mathematical terms is a process to convert a long mathematical expression in simple and easy form.

Given that,

Mateo ran in March = 19 miles,

Also,

Mateo ran in April = 2 times of ran in March = 2 x 19 = 38 miles

Mateo ran in May = 4 times of ran in April = 4 x 38 = 152 miles.

Total distance ran by Mateo in all three months

= ran in March + ran in April + ran in May

= 19 + 38 + 152

= 209 miles.

Mateo ran 209 miles in all three months.

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: The height of a tree increases by 2.5 feet each growing season.

Answers

Answer: Linear model

The fact the height increases the same amount each time indicates we have a linear model. The slope is the rate of growth, so it is 2.5 feet per season.

Keep in mind that the linear model only works for a specific interval and doesn't work forever (the tree can't grow forever and at the same rate). A more realistic scenario is that the tree's height grows quickly at first and then slows down over time. For this type of scenario we would use a logarithmic model.

The linear model best fits the given situation option (B) linear is correct.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have:

The height of a tree increases by 2.5 feet each growing season.

Rafael is at an elevation of 30.5 feet relative to sea level and Jordan is at an elevation of -41.3 feet relative to sea level. Who is at a higher elevation? Who is further from sea level?

Answers

Answer:

a. Rafael

b. Jordan

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we should understand that a negative value of elevation indicates that the position is below sea level.

So the person at a higher elevation is the person above the sea level which is Rafael in the case.

Now to the second question, we want to know who is farther from the sea level.

The correct answer is Jordan.

Let’s see the sea level as an origin (0,0) on a cartesian plane and coordinate. We should understand that although sign maybe different, the numbers which are higher in magnitude in either direction shows the farthest from the origin.

So therefore, Jordan is deeper below the sea level than Rafael who is above the sea level.

Find the rectangular coordinates of the point with the polar coordinates. ordered pair negative 7 comma 2 pi divided by 3

Answers

Answer:

The rectangular coordinates of the point with polar coordinates (7, 2·π/3) is (-3.5,  3.5·√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polar coordinates is (7, 2·π/3)

Where, the 7 represent the distance, r, from the point of reference and 2·π/3, the angle, θ, from the reference point.

Polar coordinates are represented in rectangular form by the equivalence transformation equation given as follows;

The x-coordinate = Radius, r × cos(θ), which gives

We note that 2·π/3 radians = 2 × 180/3 = 120°

x = 7 × cos(2·π/3) = 7 × cos(120°) = 7 × (-0.5) = -3.5

x = -3.5

The y-coordinate = Radius, r × sin(θ), which gives

x = 7 × sin(2·π/3) = 7 × sin(120°) = 7 × (√3)/2 = 3.5·√3

y = 3.5·√3

Therefore, the rectangular coordinates of the point with polar coordinates (7, 2·π/3) is (-3.5, 3.5·√3).
