You are a contestant on a game show called “Bargain or No Bargain.” You are presented with three briefcases, which contain rewards of $700,000, $1,000, and $100. The host of the show says you can either open one random case and keep the amount inside, or you can accept a guaranteed award of $240,000. What is the mathematically correct decision, and why?

A.
Take the $240,000, because it is greater than the expected value of the briefcases.
B.
Choose a briefcase, because the expected value is greater than $240,000.
C.
Choose a briefcase, because the expected value is less than $240,000.
D.
Take the $240,000, because it is less than the expected value of the briefcases.

a bottle contains 2 1/2 cups of apple juice a serving of apple juice is 1/2 cup how many servings does the bottle contain

Answers

By applying aritmethics and concept of capacity we conclude that the bottle containing 2 1/2 cups of apple juice contains 5 servings containing 1/2 cups each.

How to determine the quantity of servings from a bottle

In this question we are dealing with capacities, capacities are an application of volumes. A bottle contains a capacity equivalent to a given quantity of cups. The number of cups is found by dividing the capacity of a bottle by the capacity of a serving:

[tex]x = \frac{\frac{5}{2}\,cups}{\frac{1}{2}\,cups }[/tex]

x = 5

An aircraft is timetabled to travel from A to B. Due to bad weather it flies from A to C then from C to B, where AC and CB make angles of 27° and 66° respectively with AB. If |AC| = 220 km, calculate |AB|.​

Answers

Answer:

|AB| = 240 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding ∠C :

⇒ 27° + 66° + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠C = 180° - 93°

⇒ ∠C = 87°

Applying the Law of Sines :

⇒ sin 66° / 220 = sin 87° / AB

⇒ 0.913545458 / 220 = 0.998629535 / AB

⇒ AB = 220/0.913545458 x 0.998629535

⇒ AB = 240.819981 x 0.998629535

⇒ AB = 240.489946

|AB| = 240 km (nearest whole kilometer)

Answer:

|AB| = 240 km (nearest km)

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a sketch with the given information (attached).

Calculate the missing angle (shown in red on the attached diagram).

Given:

∠CAB = 27°∠CBA = 66°

The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°

⇒ ∠ACB + ∠CAB + ∠CBA = 180°

⇒ ∠ACB + 27° + 66° = 180°

⇒ ∠ACB = 180° - 27° - 66°

⇒ ∠ACB = 87°

Use Sine Rule for sides to calculate |AB|:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C}[/tex]

(where A, B and C are the angles and a, b and c are the sides opposite the angles)

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{|AB|}{\sin ACB}=\dfrac{|AC|}{\sin CBA}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{|AB|}{\sin (87^{\circ})}=\dfrac{220}{\sin (66^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf |AB|=\dfrac{220\:\sin (87^{\circ})}{\sin (66^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf |AB|=240.4899459...[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf |AB|=240\:km\:(nearest\:km)[/tex]

The first aircraft has 59 more seats than the second aircraft. The third aircraft has 42 fewer seats than the second aircraft. If their total number of seats is 407, find the number of seats for each air craft.

Answers

Answer:

first aircraft=189

second aircraft=130

third aircraft=88

Step-by-step explanation:

1st = x+59

2nd = x

3rd= x-42

x + 59 + x + x - 42 = 407

3x + 59- 42 = 407

3x + 17 = 407

3x = 407 - 17

x=390÷3

=130

1st=130+59=189

2nd=130

3rd=130-42=88

If P is directly proportional to Q. And Q = 30 when P = 40. Find Q when P = 70

Answers

Answer:

Q = 52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given P is directly proportional to Q then the equation relating them is

P = kQ ← k is the constant of proportion

to find k use the condition Q = 30 when P = 40 , then

40 = 30k ( divide both sides by 30 )

[tex]\frac{40}{30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = k

P = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] Q ← equation of proportion

when P = 70 , then

70 = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] Q ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

210 = 4Q ( divide both sides by 4 )

52.5 = Q

Solve the system of equations 3x - 2y = 8 x-2y = 4​

Answers

Answer: (2, -1), or x = 2 and y = -1

By graphing:

   We can solve by graphing. See attached.

-> The solution is the point of intersection. The lines intersect at (2, -1) which means x is equal to 2 and y is equal to -1.

By substituting:

   We can solve this by substituting. It means we will substitute one equation into the other, then solve for the variables.

3x - 2y = 8

x - 2y = 4​ -> x = 2y + 4

-

3x - 2y = 8

3(2y + 4) - 2y = 8

6y + 12 - 2y = 8

4y = -4

y = -1

-

x - 2y = 4​

x - 2(-1) = 4​

x + 2 = 4

Just find x

Answers

Answer:

x = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make 2 equations based on the properties of the triangles :

Applying Exterior Angle Property :

x + 2∠1 = 2√2 (taking ΔABC in perspective)∠1 + 25 = √2 (taking ΔBDC in perspective)

Divide equation 1 by 2 :

⇒ 1/2 (x + 2∠1) = 1/2 x (2∠2)

⇒ x/2 + ∠1 = ∠2

⇒ ∠2 - ∠1 = x/2

Similarly, rewrite equation 2 :

⇒ ∠1 + 25 = ∠2

⇒ ∠2 - ∠1 = 25

From these 2 equations, we get :

⇒ x/2 = 25

⇒ x = 25 × 2

x = 50°

[tex]\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}[/tex]

Let's consider the figure with two triangles,

Angle b is divided into two equal parts :

let's name each of them as y ~

and similarly

Exterior angle C is divided into two equal parts :

let's name each of them z ~

Now, according to exterior Angle property :

In Triangle ABC

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2y + x = 2z \: \: \: \: [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2z - 2y = x \: \: \: \: [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2(z - y) = x[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:z - y = \dfrac{x}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - (1)[/tex]

and in Triangle BDC

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:y + 25 = z \: \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:z - y = 25 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - (2)[/tex]

equate equation (1) and (2) :

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{x}{2} = 25[/tex]

Marci needs to rent a storage. She needs to determine the volume of the storage unit. If the storage unit is 8 feet high, what is the volume of the storage unit

Answers

Okay. I’m not just going to flat out give you the answer, but I’m also gonna explain how to find the answer.

First off, you only need one side to determine volume.

Volume = length x width x height.

Currently we know: volume = ? x ? x 8ft

Lets make an inference that the the storage is completely symmetrical, all sides even. That’d leave us with: volume = 8 x 8 x 8 which is also 8^3. With that being said, the volume of the storage unit is 512.
