The probability of a student passing
an examination is 2/3
If the student
takes three examination, what is the
Probability that he will not
pass
any of them.​

Answers

Answer:  1/27

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

Explanation:

2/3 is the probability of passing a test, so 1/3 is the probability of failing

Note how 2/3 and 1/3 add to 3/3 = 1 to represent 100%

The probability of failing 3 tests in a row is (1/3)^3 = (1/3)*(1/3)*(1/3) = 1/27 assuming each test event is independent from one another.

-------

Side note: the probability of passing at least one test is 1-1/27 = 26/27 and the probability of passing all three tests in a row is (2/3)^3 = 8/27

As mentioned by Mark there are an unlimited number of pairs that satisfy your equation. So let us see how you can characterize these solutions

if 7x - 3y > 10 then

7x > 10 +3y

Now we can substitute any value for y and get the appropriate value for x. For example I can choose y to be 6

then by substitution

7  must be > 10+ 3*6

or 7x must be > 28

or x must be > 4

So all pairs such that x is > 4 and y = 6 are solutions.

I can create an infinite number of pairs choosing any number for y. Likewise I could have chosen x and solved the problem for y. In the above example I chose 6 for y to make the division easy. I could have chosen any number(real or integer) for y and solved the equation for x  to derive appropriate  pairs

Brayden is working two summer jobs, making $18 per hour lifeguarding and making $9 per hour clearing tables. In a given week, he can work no more than 19 total hours and must earn a minimum of $270. If Brayden worked 14 hours lifeguarding, determine the minimum number of whole hours clearing tables that he must work to meet his requirements. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answers

Answer: The amount he earns from lifeguarding = $252 ($18×14). The total amount he needs to make a week is $270.

$270-$252=$18, he needs to earn $18 more from clearing tables.

An open top box is to be made by a 24 in by 24 in. by 36 in. piece of cardboard by removing a square from each corner of the box and folding up the flaps on each side. What size square should be cut out of each corner to get a box with the maximum volume?

Answers

Answer:

X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box= (36-2x)(24-2x)x

Volume of the box

=( 864 -96x -4x²)x

But 864 -96x -4x²

=216 - 24x-x²

Solving for x quadratically

X= (24+12√10)/-2

X= -12 -6√10

X= -30.97

Or

X= (24-12√10)/-2

X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

X will definitely be a positive number

So X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

Increasing or decreasing the side length of the square that gives the

maximum volume, gives a volume that is less than the maximum.

The side length of the cut out square to get a box with the maximum volume is approximately 4.71 in.

Reasons:

The given dimensions of the box = 24 in. by 36 in.

Let x represent the dimensions of the square removed from the corners, we have;

Width of box = 24 - 2·x

Length of box = 36 - 2·x

Height of the box = x

Volume of a box = Width × Length × Height

Therefore;

Volume of the box, V = (24 - 2·x)·(36 - 2·x)·x = 4·x³ - 120·x² + 864·x

At the maximum or minimum point of the volume, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dx} = \mathbf{ \frac{d}{dx} \left(4 \cdot x^3 - 120 \cdot x^2 + 864 \cdot x \right )} = 0[/tex]

Which gives;

12·x² - 240·x + 864 = 0

x² - 20·x + 72 = 0

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle x = \dfrac{20\pm \sqrt{(-20)^{2}-4\times 1\times 72}}{2\times 1} = \mathbf{10 \pm 2\cdot \sqrt{7}}[/tex]

At x = 10 + 2·√7, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle 10 + 2 \cdot \sqrt{7} > \frac{24}{2}[/tex]

2 × (10 + 2·√7) in. > 24 in. which is the width of the cardboard

Therefore, (10 + 2·√7) is too long to be cut from the cardboard

At x = 10 - 2·√7, we have;

V = 4·(10 - 2·√7)³ - 120·(10 - 2·√7)² + 864·(10 - 2·√7) ≈ 1,828.3

Therefore;

The maximum volume corresponds with a cut out square of side length x = 10 - 2·√7 inches  ≈ 4.71 inches

The size of the square to be cut out each corner is x ≈ 4.71 inches

Answer:         n = 3                                              n = 4                

               Upper Sum ≈ 3.41                      Upper Sum ≈ 3.25

               Lower Sum ≈ 2.15                      Lower Sum ≈ 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the area under the curve.  Area = height x width.

Height is the y-value at the given coordinate --> f(x)

Width is the distance between the x-values --> dx

n = 3

First, let's figure out dx:  the distance from -1 to +1 is 2 units. We need to divide that into 3 sections because n = 3 --> dx = 2/3

So the points we will evaluate is when x = {-1, -1/3, 1/3, 1}

For the upper sum, we find the max y-value for each interval

For the lower sum, we find the min y-value for each interval

Next, let's find the height for each of the x-values:

f(x) = 1 + x²

f(-1) = 1 + (-1)²   = 2

f(-1/3) = 1 + (-1/3)² = 1 + 1/9 --> 10/9

f(1/3) =  1 + (1/3)² = 1 + 1/9 --> 10/9

f(1) = 1 + (1)²   = 2

Interval         Max                      Min

{-1, -1/3}          f(-1) = 2                   f(-1/3) = 10/9

{-1/3, 1/3}        f(-1/3) = 10/9           f(0) = 1   (vertex lies in this interval)

{1/3, 1}             f(1) = 2                   f(1/3) = 10/9

Now, let's find the Area: A = f(x) dx:

[tex]\text{Upper Sum:}\quad A=\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(2+\dfrac{10}{9}+2\bigg)\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{46}{9}\bigg)\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{92}{27}\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{3.41}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Lower Sum:}\qquad A=\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{10}{9}+1+\dfrac{10}{9}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{29}{9}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{58}{27}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{2.15}[/tex]

*****************************************************************************************

n = 4

First, let's figure out dx:  the distance from -1 to +1 is 2 units. We need to divide that into 4 sections because n = 4 --> dx = 2/4 = 1/2 (simplified)

So the points we will evaluate is when x = {-1, -1/2, 0, 1/2, 1}

For the upper sum, we find the max y-value for each interval

For the lower sum, we find the min y-value for each interval

Next, let's find the height for each of the x-values:

f(x) = 1 + x²

f(-1) = 1 + (-1)²   = 2

f(-1/2) = 1 + (-1/2)² = 1 + 1/4 --> 5/4

f(0) = 1 + (0)² = 1

f(1/2) =  1 + (1/2)² = 1 + 1/4 --> 5/4

f(1) = 1 + (1)²   = 2

Interval         Max                      Min

{-1, -1/2}          f(-1) = 2                   f(-1/2) = 5/4

{-1/2, 0}          f(-1/2) = 5/4            f(0) = 1  

{0, 1/2}           f(1/2) = 5/4             f(0) = 1

{1/2, 1}            f(1) = 2                   f(1/3) = 5/4

Now, let's find the Area: A = f(x) dx:

[tex]\text{Upper Sum:}\qquad A=\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(2+\dfrac{5}{4}+\dfrac{5}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{26}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{13}{4}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{3.25}[/tex]

Your math teacher is only giving three tests this quarter. They count equally and your quarter grade will be the average of the tests. You scored a 79% on the first test and an 84% on the second test. If your quarter grade is below a 75% you will be grounded from your phone. What scores will get you into trouble on your report card?

Answers

3 tests at 75% each = 3 x 75 = 225 total points

First two tests = 79 + 84 = 163

Third test needs to be at least: 225 - 163  = 62%

So any score less than 62 would get you into trouble.

Whenever a number has the digit from 5 till any number less than 10, you round up. If the number you are trying to round to any digit is less than 5, then you can round down. Since the part of the number that is important for the question is 5.2, we round above. You get 10000 from this.

There was 1 liter of water in the water bottle. Tom drank 200 milliliters of water. How many liters of water are left?

Answers

Answer:

.8L

Explanation:

Logic

The liters of water left are 0.8 liters.

What is an Equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

The equations are useful in the determination of unknown parameters.

The quantity of water in a water bottle is 1 liter.

The amount of water Tom drank is 200 milliliters.

Let x be the amount of water left in the bottle.

The liter has to be converted into milliliters.

1 liters = 1000 milliliters

The equation formed is,

1000 - 200 = x

x = 1000 - 200
