Maddy has a bag of 36 marbles. The probability of picking green is 1 in 2, the probability of picking red is 1 in 3, and the probability of picking blue is 1 in 9. The only other color in the bag is black. Find the probability of Maddy picking a black marble.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  1 in 18

This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18

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

Explanation:

Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.

Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.

So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.

From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.

There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.

1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately

What is the median of 6, 7, 3, 15, 4, 4.

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle when the numbers are lined up from smallest to largest

3,4,4,6,7,15

There are 6 number so the middle is the  between the 3rd and 4th number

3,4,4,    6,7,15

Take the 3rd and 4th numbers and average

(4+6)/2 = 10/2 = 5

Answer:

median = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the data in ascending order :

3 , 4 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 15

Choose the middle number.

Here there are even number of data. Take the average of the middle

numbers .

4 and 6 are the middle number. average of 4 and 6 = ( 4 + 6 ) /2 = 5

Therefore , median = 5

Find the perimeter of the figure.

Answers

Answer:

45 inches (choice B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of a shape. Since the sides are given this problem is fairly easier than other problems. You simply have to add the numbers together.

8 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 19 = 45 inches

Answer:

45 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 8 + 3 + 6 + 19 + 6 + 3

= 45.

Answers

Answer:

bbbb,

bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb,

bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, gbbg, ggbb,

bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb,

gggg

Step-by-step explanation:

3 children: bbb, bbg, bgb, gbb, bgg, gbg, ggb, ggg

4 children: bbbb, bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb, bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, ggbb, bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb, gggg

You need to take a methodological approach;

The 2 easiest are the possibility of all boys and all girls;

Then consider 3 boys and 1 girl:

bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb

Then 2 boys and 2 girls:

bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, gbbg, ggbb

Lastly, 1 boy and 3 girls:

bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb

In total, there are 16 possibilities

P.S. interesting to note is that the number of possibilities here follows the pattern of Pascal's triangle:

       1

     1   1

   1  2  1

 1  3  3  1

1  4  6  4  1

The last row is relevant here;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 boys;

There are 4 possibilities (in terms of the order of birth) where there are 3 boys and 1 girl;

There are 6 possibilities where there are 2 boys and 2 girls

There are 4 possibilities where there is 1 boy and 3 girls;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 girls;

The pattern ∴ is 1 4 6 4 1, as the 5th row of Pascal's triangle reads;

If your talking about 3 children, it would match the 4th row of Pascal's triangle;

So, 1 possibility of 3 boys;

3 possibilities of 2 boys and 1 girl;

3 possibilities of 1 boy and 2 girls;

And 1 possibility of 3 girls;

If your talking about 10 children, it would match the 11th row of Pascal's triangle.

Three squares are joined below at their vertices to form a right triangle. Find X, the side
length of the square marked in the diagram.

12 feet

144 feet

48 feet

17.5 feet

Answers

Answer:

12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the areas of the 2 top squares.

the area of a square is simply the square of its side length.

=>

81 ft² means side length is 9 ft.

225 ft² means side length is 15 ft.

these are also 2 of the sides of the right triangle.

the third side we get by using Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the side opposite of the 90 degree angle.

so,

225 = 81 + x²

as x is also the third side of the triangle.

=> 144 = x²

x = 12 ft

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Division A

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose last year's revenue for the company was 100 units.

Last year's Division A revenue was 0.60×100 = 60. This year's revenue is 1-35% = 65% of last year's, so is ...

  60 × 0.65 = 39 . . . . units

__

Last year's Division B revenue was 0.40×100 = 40. This year's revenue is 1-5% = 95% of last year's, so is ...

  40 × 0.95 = 38 . . . . units

__

At 39 units this year, Division A still has the higher revenue than Division B at 38 units.

Geometry question finding radius and area
Thank You!!

Answers

Answer:

The radius of Circle D is 8 cm.

The perimeter of ΔABC is (24 + 6√7) cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let the intersection point below D be K and let the intersection point between A and B be J.

Since segment BK, which passes through the center of the circle, is perpendicular to chord AC, BK also bisects AC. Hence, AK = CK.

Connect points A and D to create radius AD. Note that BD is also a radius. Hence, AD = BD.

For ΔABK, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AB^2=(BD+1)^2+AK^2[/tex]

Since AB = 12:

[tex]144=(BD+1)^2+AK^2[/tex]

For ΔADK, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AD^2=1^2+AK^2[/tex]

Since AD = BD:

[tex]BD^2=1+AK^2[/tex]

Subtract the second equation into the first:

[tex]144-(BD^2)=(BD+1)^2+AK^2-(1+AK^2)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]144-BD^2=BD^2+2BD+1-1[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]2BD^2+2BD-144=0[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]BD^2+BD-72=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](BD+9)(BD-8)=0[/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]BD=-9\text{ or } BD=8[/tex]

Since the radius must be positive, the radius is 8 cm.

Since we already know AB and BC, we need to find AC to find the perimeter.

Note that AC = AK + CK = 2AK.

From the second equation:

[tex]BD^2=1+AK^2[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]AK=\sqrt{BD^2-1}=\sqrt{(8)^2-1}=\sqrt{63}=3\sqrt{7}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]AC=2(AK)=2(3\sqrt7)=6\sqrt7[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of ΔABC is:

[tex]P=(12)+(12)+(6\sqrt7)=24+6\sqrt7\text{ cm}[/tex]

b. 136 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The prism is a cube

Surface area of the cube = 6a²

a = 4.2 cm

Plug in the value

Surface area = 6*4.2²

Surface area = 105.84 cm²

b. The prism is a triangular prism

Surface area of triangular prism = bh + L(s1 + s2 + s3)

b = 6 ft

h = 4 ft

L = 7 ft

s1 = 5 ft

s2 = 5 ft

s3 = 6 ft

Surface area = 6*4 + 7(5 + 5 + 6)

Surface area = 24 +7(16)

Surface area = 24 + 112

Surface area = 136 cm²
