You decide to take up a life of crime and plan to break into a bank. You and your buddies have to decide which bank to choose from based on their locked door. One bank has a lock that requires four letters (repetition is not allowed) and the other bank has a lock that requires 6 digits (repetition is allowed). You want to break into the bank with the door that gives you the higher probability of breaking the code. Of those two options, which one has the greater probability of you guessing the code?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The first bank with the four letter code has the grater probability of me guessing the code.

Step-by-step explanation:

To break the code for the first bank which uses four letters, since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and require a four letter code, the first letter can be any of the 26 letters. Since one letter has been taken, we are left with 25 letters for the second position, 24 for the third position and 24 for the fourth position.

So, the total number of ways of selecting the 4 letter code without repetition is ²⁶P₄ = 26 × 25 × 24 × 23 = 358800

Since we have only 1 correct code, this is our required outcome. So,  the probability of breaking the code is P = required outcome/total outcome = 1/358800 = 2.787 × 10⁻⁶

To break the code for the second bank which uses 6 digits with repetition, since there are 10 digits, and we require a 6 digit code, each digit can be filled with 10 digits each. Since there is repetition, the total number of ways we can select the 6 digits is (¹⁰P₁)⁶ = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10⁶.

Since there is going to be only 1 correct code, the number of ways of selecting the correct code is 1.

The probability P' of cracking the second bank code is P' = required outcome/total outcome = 1/10⁶ = 1 × 10⁻⁶

Since P = 2.787 × 10⁻⁶ > P' =  1 × 10⁻⁶, the first bank with the four letter code has the grater probability of me guessing the code.

Answers

Answer: 357.91 or 358 miles

Since 24 kilometers is equal to 14.9129 (or 15 miles), I multiplied 24 by 24. 24 hours in a day x 24 kilometers. The results were 576 kilometers. I then converted 576 km into miles which gave me 357.91 and I found my answer. I hope this helps you !!!

John buys two ties that each cost $19.99 he also buys a pair of dress pants that were originally $64 but a discounted by 30% more over he has a coupon for $10 off a purchase of $50 or more purchase finally sales tax is 6% in his state how much did John pay for the ties and pants

Answers

Answer:

Cost of ties and pants = $52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of ties = $19.99

cost of dress pants = $64, discountted by 30%

discount on dress pants = 30% of 64 = 0.3 × 64 = $19.2

∴ Discounted price of dress pants = 64 - 19.2 = $44.8

Total cost of ties and dress pants = 19.99 + 44.8 = $64.79

Now, let us apply the coupon

coupon = $10 off every purchase of $50 or more

Purchase amount = $64.79 ;  therefore coupon applies.

Applying coupon

Purchase amount = 64.79 - 10 = $54.79

sale tax = 6% or purchase price

sale tax = 6% × 54.79

sale tax = 0.06 × 54.79 = $3.29

∴ Final cost of ties and dress pants = 54.79 - 3.29 = $52.5

12x = 12

Divide both sides by 12

Answers

Answer:

$3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 8 rolls cost $4.80

let us compute how much 1 roll will cost (that is the unit cost of a roll)

so  8 rolls cost $4.80

     1 roll will cost x

x= 4.8/8

x=$0.6

so the paper tower cost $0.6 per roll (this is the rate)

therefore 6 rolls will cost

(no sin and cos pleasee)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  18 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the given constraints, the way to find the area of this triangle is to use a triangle solver app or web site. The attached shows the area is 18 cm^2.

_____

A simple way to find the area is to use the cosine function to find side AC adjacent to the 75° angle. Then use the formula for area that uses the sine function.

  AC = AB·cos(75°)

  Area = (1/2)AB·AC·sin(75°)

  Area = (1/2)(AB²)cos(75)sin(75°)

  = (1/4)AB²·sin(150°) . . . using the double-angle identity

  = (1/4)(12 cm)²(1/2)

  Area = 18 cm²

__

The useful relations are ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(75°) = AC/AB   ⇒   AC = AB·cos(75°)

and ...

  Area = (1/2)pq·sin(α) . . . . for two sides p and q with angle α between them

  Area = (1/2)AB·AC·sin(75°)

Another identity we used here is ...

  sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)   ⇔   sin(α)cos(α) = (1/2)sin(2α)

Putting these together, the formula for area we used was effectively ...

  A = (1/4)AB²sin(2·75°)

Jacob baked 42 sugar cookies and 30 oatmeal cookies to package for his friends at school. He wants to package the cookies into identical containers so that each container has the same number of cookies. If he uses all of the cookies, what is the greatest number of containers he needs?

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of sugar cookies = 42

Number of Oatmeal = 30

To package the cookies into identical containers so that each container has the same number of cookies with no left over ;

We find the greatest common factor of 42 and 30

Factors of 42 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Factors of 30 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

The greatest common factor = 6

√600 and ∛56 and show work

Answers

Answer:

√600 is around 24.5 while ∛56 is around 3.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Method: TRIAL AND ERROR

For √600, we can follow trial and error method:

30^2 is 900, so too big

20^2 is 400, so too small

25^2 is 625, too big

24^2 is 576, too small

Considering that 600 is between 24^2 and 25^2, we can try in between:

24.5^2 is 600.25, which is very close, therefore 24.5 is the answer

For ∛56, we can also follow trial and error method:

5^3 is 125

4^3 is 64

3^3 is 27

Considering that 56 is somewhere between 3^3 and 4^3, and that it's much more closer to 4^3, we can try 3.6^3, which is: 46.656;

3.7^3 is 50.6

3.8^3 is 54.8

3.9^3 is 59

3.85^3 is 57

3.84^3 is 56.6 (still larger)

3.83^3 is 56.1

So the answer is 3.83

But the method above works when using calculator, best for a calculator exam. If calculator is not allowed, you can find the difference between the two possible answers (e.g: 27 and 64 (3^3 and 4^3) following the above, to find out ∛56.) Of course, 56 is much nearer to 4^3, so we can assume that the answer is around 3.8.

Hope this helped. :)
