A box has 14 candies in it: 3 are butterscotch, 7 are peppermint, and 4 are taffy. (Each candy falls into only one of these categories.) Laura wants to select two candies to eat for dessert. The first candy will be selected at random, and then the second candy will be selected at random from the remaining candies. What is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy?

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that the two candies selected by Laura from the box are taffy which has 14 candies in it: 3 are butterscotch, 7 are peppermint, and 4 are taffy is 0.230.

What is the conditional probability?

The conditional probability is the happening of an event, when the probability of occurring of other event is given.

A box has 14 candies in it: 3 are butterscotch, 7 are peppermint, and 4 are taffy. (Each candy falls into only one of these categories.)

Let A is the event of selecting taffy in first attempt. Thus, the probability of it is,

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{4}{14}[/tex]

Now 13 candies remain, in which 3 taffy candies are present. Let B is the event of selecting taffy in again. Thus, the probability of it is,

[tex]P(B)=\dfrac{3}{13}[/tex]

The probability of happening both event is,

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{4}{14}\times\dfrac{3}{13}\\P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{12}{182}[/tex]

The probability that the two candies selected by Laura from the box are taffy is,

[tex]P(B| A)=\dfrac{\dfrac{12}{182}}{\dfrac{4}{14}}\\P(B| A)=0.230[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the two candies selected by Laura from the box are taffy which has 14 candies in it: 3 are butterscotch, 7 are peppermint, and 4 are taffy is 0.230.

At noon, ship A is 170 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 40 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 15 km/h. How fast (in km/hr) is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 p.m.? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Distance is the product of speed and time. The rate at which the distance between the ships changes at 4:00 p.m is 27.293 km/h.

What is the distance?

Distance is the product of speed and time. It is given by the function,

[tex]\rm Distance = Time \times speed[/tex]

Given at noon the distance between two ships is 170 km. Furter ship A is moving towards the east at a speed of 40 km/h, therefore, the distance covered by Ship A in 4 hours will be,

[tex]\rm \text{Distance covered by Ship A in 4 hours} = 4 \times 40 = 160\ km[/tex]

The distance covered by Ship B in 4 hours will be,

[tex]\rm \text{Distance covered by Ship B in 4 hours} = 4 \times 15= 60\ km[/tex]

At 4 pm the distance between the two ships is the hypotenuse of the red triangle as shown below,

[tex]\rm Hypotenuse = \sqrt{10^2 + 60^2} = \sqrt{100+3600 }= 60.827\ km[/tex]

The rate of change in the distance between the two ships can be written as,

[tex]\rm \text{Rate of change of distance} = \dfrac{170-60.827}{4} = 27.293\ km/h[/tex]

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the ships changes at 4:00 p.m is 27.293 km/h.

Cyrus lives 11 miles due south of Adriana, Adriana live 19 miles due west of Jane, Jane lives 12 miles due south of Madisyn.

The shortest distance between Cyrus' house and Jane's house is

•21.95
•481.802
•0.52

The shortest distance between Adriana's house and Madisyn's house is

•504.901
•22.47
•44.42

Answers

Answer:

A.) 21.95

B.)22.47

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) An easy way to solve this is to use the Pythagorean theorem. Since the only person between Cyrus and Jane is Adriana, we will use her as a measuring point. Adriana's distance to Jane is 19, we will set a = 19, Adriana also is 11 miles away from Cyrus, and we will set b = 11. Now we plug it into the Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\19^2+11^2=c^2\\\sqrt{482} =\sqrt{c^2}\\ 21.95=c[/tex]

B.) Using the same principle but for Adriana and Madisyn, we will use Jane as she is between them. Adriana is 19 miles from Jane, so we will set a=19, Madisyn is also 12 miles from Jane, so we will set b=12. Plug it for the Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\19^2+12^2=c^2\\505=c^2\\\sqrt{505}=\sqrt{c^2}\\ 22.47 = c[/tex]

Olivia's mom decided to wallpaper the living room. At the store, the wallpaper was selling for $11.68 for a roll with 100 linear feet. What is the price per linear foot of the wallpaper?

Answers

If 2 things sell for 4 dollars, we divide the money by the number of things to get how much money per thing.

So, 10/5 = 2

The things will cost $2 each.

Same thing.

If 100 rolls cost $11.68, then

11.68 divided by 100 will give us the price per roll.

11.68/100 = 0.1168

Shortly after their arrival, Europeans began introducing pigs to the Americas as a source of food. Some escaped, and others were intentionally released into the wild,
where they thrived. Assume that the wild pig population is modeled by the
formula P = P0•(1.2)^t .If there were five million wild pigs in 2010 (no one really knows the exact number), what was the population of wild pigs in 2000?

Answers

Answer: About 800 thousand

The more accurate value is 807,528 but this is also an approximation.

=======================================================

Work Shown:

[tex]t = \text{number of years since the year 2000}[/tex]

[tex]P_0 = \text{population (in millions) in the year 2000}[/tex]

[tex]P = P_0(1.2)^t\\\\5 = P_0(1.2)^{10}\\\\5 \approx P_0*6.1917364224\\\\P_0 \approx \frac{5}{6.1917364224}\\\\P_0 \approx 0.80752791444922\\\\P_0 \approx 0.807528\\\\[/tex]

That's the rough population of wild pigs (in millions) for the year 2000.

Multiply by [tex]10^6[/tex] to get it in terms of units instead.

How to calculate the interior angle of a triangle

A triangle is a 2-dimensional shape with 3 sides an interior angle

Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, hence;

8x - 4 + 76 + 44 = 180

8x + 116 = 180

8x = 180 - 116

8x = 64

x = 64/8

Step-by-step explanation:

the question can be represented with:
12.5/5 and x/3

12.5/5 is 2.5, so that means each bag of dog food is $2.5  
So then you multiply 2.5 by 3, = 1.20, so 3 bags of dog food is $7.50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I take it you mean 5 and not 0.5.

If that is the case, this is a proportion question. A proportion consists of 4 parts. If you know 3 of the parts, you can solve for the 4th one.

Formula

Number of bags/Cost = new number of bags/Cost of the new number

Givens

original Number of bags  = 5

Cost = 12.50

New number of bags = 3 bags

Cost = x

Solution

5/12.50 = 3/x           Cross Multiply

5x = 12.50 * 3          Combine the right

5x = 37.5                  Divide by 5

5x/5 = 37.5/5

x = 7.5
