Find the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row from a bag
that contains 40 brown M&Ms out of 350 M&Ms total. Note that as you choose
them, you immediately eat them.

Answers
Answer:
The the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and eat them immediately is 0.0014.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to find the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and they are eaten immediately after selecting them, this implies that we are dealing with a probability of without replacement.
Without replacement means the number of brown M&Ms and the total M&Ms decreases by one as we select one each in a row.
Therefore, we have:
Probability of selecting the first brown M&M without replacement = 40 / 350
Probability of selecting the second brown M&M without replacement = 39 / 349
Probability of selecting the third brown M&M without replacement = 38 / 348
Let B represents the the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row. Therefore, we have:
B = (40 / 350) * (39 / 349) * (38 / 348) = 0.114285714285714 * 0.111747851002865 * 0.109195402298851 = 0.00139455446243313
Approximating to 4 decimal places, we have:
B = 0.0014
Therefore, the the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and eat them immediately is 0.0014.

The cost of a bagel at Tim Horton’s is $0.99 and the cost of a large coffee is $1.29. If Derek purchases 4 more bagels than large coffees and spends $10.80 total, how many of each did he purchase?
Answers
Answer:
7 Bagels and 3 Large Coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Large Coffee with L and Bagel with B.
We have that:
[tex]0.99B + 1.29L = 10.80[/tex] ---- Amount spent
and
[tex]B = L + 4[/tex] ---- Quantity
Required
Determine the value of L and B
Substitute L + 4 for B in the first equation
[tex]0.99B + 1.29L = 10.80[/tex]
[tex]0.99(4 + L) + 1.29L = 10.80[/tex]
Open Bracket
[tex]3.96 + 0.99L + 1.29L = 10.80[/tex]
[tex]3.96 + 2.28L = 10.80[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]2.28L = 10.80 - 3.96[/tex]
[tex]2.28L = 6.84[/tex]
Solve for L
[tex]L = 6.84/2.28[/tex]
[tex]L = 3[/tex]
Recall that
[tex]B = 4 + L[/tex]
[tex]B = 4 + 3[/tex]
[tex]B = 7[/tex]

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola
y=2-x^2. What are the dimensions of such a rectangle with the greatest possible area?
width=?
height=?
Answers
Take x > 0. Then for 0 < x < √2, a rectangle circumscribed by the x-axis and the parabola y = 2 - x² has a length of 2x and a height of 2 - x², so its area is
A(x) = 2x (2 - x²)
Differentiate A with respect to x :
A'(x) = 2 (2 - x²) + 2x (-2x)
A'(x) = 4 - 6x²
Find the critical points:
4 - 6x² = 0
6x² = 4
x² = 4/6 = 2/3
x = √(2/3)
Check the sign of the second derivative at this point to confirm that it's a maximum:
A''(x) = -12x
The second derivative is negative for all x > 0, so x = √(2/3) is indeed a maximum.
So the rectangle with maximum area has dimensions
width/length = 2 √(2/3)
height = 2 - (√(2/3))² = 4/3

Answer:
Slope is -5/3, the y intercept is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find cordinates you first have to solve the equation so that it is in the form mx+b=y
solve for y
5x+3y=15
-5x -5x
3y =-5x+15
3y/3 = -5x/3+15/3
y=-5/3x+5
or -5/3x+5=y
Now you know that the slope is -5/3 and the y intercept is 5
Start for 5 on the cordinate plain and go down 5 since it is negative and go to the right 3.
after you get to the bottom right of the graph you go back to 5 and just do the exact opposite of what you did above.
so go up 5 and go to the left 3 and continue until you get to the top left of the graph.

Answers
Answer:
I'd say still 90%
Step-by-step explanation:
The other 10% of bacteria that was left over was probably immune or unaffected by the disinfectant, hence why the spray didn't kill 100% to begin with.
Its similar to hand sanitizer, It kills 99.99% of germs because one germ is always immune or unaffected by it. Hope that makes sense and helps!

Last year during the hurricane season, the amount of rain that fell on the Texas Gulf Coast in October was 14 inches, which was 3 1/2 times more than the rainfall during September of the same year. How much rain fell during the month of September?
Answers
Answer:
4in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Amount of rain that fell in October = 14in
If this value is 3 1/2times amount of rain that fell in September, we can express it mathematically as;
3 1/2 of September = 14
7/2 of x = 14
x is the amount of rain that fell in September
From the expression
7x/2 = 14
Cross multiply
7x = 14×2
7x = 28
Divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 28/7
x = 4in
Hence the amount of rain that fell in September is 4in
