The following is known about three numbers: Three times the first number plus the second number plus twice the third number is 5. If 3 times the second number is subtracted from the sum of the first number and 3 times the third number, the result is 2. If the third number is subtracted from 2 times the first number and 3 times the second number,the result is 1.(b) Find the numbers using ??????′? ?????
In 2004 it surfaced in Reader's Digest presented as having happened to a teacher at an unnamed community college. Four students walked in halfway through American history test my father was giving at the local community college. "Sorry," they said, "we had a flat tire." An understanding man, Dad said that if they could answer just one question correctly, he would give them each an "A" for the exam. The students agreed. So my father handed each one a piece of paper, placed them in four separate comers and said, "Write down which tire was flat." Kurt Smith What is the probability that these four students would give identical answers if they hadn't had a flat tire? Why?
Consider the following problem: "You and a friend go to dinner with four couples. Before dinner, everyone shakes hands with each person that they've never met. During dinner, you ask everyone how many hands they shook. You get the following answers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. How many hands did your friend shake?" Which of these problems below represent a simpler problem that could help you solve this one? O You and a friend go to dinner with two couples, and everyone shakes each othes person's hand. How many handshakes did your friend give? O You and a friend go to dinner with one couple, and everyone shakes hands with each person they've never met.

In this question, you are asked to comment on a student's attempt at answering the question detailed below. Read the question and the student's incorrect attempt first, then answer the questions below. The Question Ronan is building an extension to his house to facilitate a social space and games room. One of his passions is watching sport on a big screen, so he has purchased a wide-lens home cinema projector that he can connect to his laptop, instead of buying a large-screen TV. Having read the manufacturer's guide extensively, and researched his options on the internet for optimising picture quality, he decides that he would like to have a viewing area equivalent to having a 120-inch TV mounted on the wall. This means that the width of the viewing area will be 108 inches. The projector has a wide lens that covers an angle of 72°. He needs to position the projector centrally with respect to the viewing area, on a stand that you may assume is at the correct height for optimum picture…
Sessa, an ancient wise man, visited the king of his nation and showed him a new game. The board was 8 squares by 8 squares. Two players would be given 16 pieces each, lined up on either side of the board. The pieces moved in set ways, and the purpose of the game was to move your pieces to trap the King piece of the other player. As you have probably figured out, Sessa invented chess. His king was utterly delighted at the game - war without bloodshed! - and asked Sessa what he would like in return. In the ancient bombastic style, the King said the request could include up to half of his kingdom. (That was not meant literally.) Sessa asked for the game board to be brought before him. "Highness," he said, "I ask for a grain of rice on the first square. Tomorrow, two grains of rice on the second square. The day after, 4 grains of rice on the third square. On the fourth day, 8 grains of rice. And so on, until the board is full in two months." The king and his ministers laughed…
I don't believe this answer is correct. Wouldn't it be "not enough information given to determine"? $12 is not the answer to this question.
For this problem, assume Gwen and Harry have 5 types of cones and 11 flavors of ice cream. (1) In how many different ways can your order one cone and two scoops of ice cream? (As in the book, putting one flavor on top of another is different from putting them the other way around.) (2) In how many different ways can your order one cone and two scoops of ice cream which are not the same flavor?
What do you think is the best way of sorting out these type of questions. When I'm studying I somehow always mix up negative and positive values or get something off somehow. so that I get one part wrong which leads to getting another part wrong and so on. I understand the concept of elimination and subsition but I can't seem to carry it out very well.
Professor Hermann gives his class 12 potential test questions, he will then put 5 of the 12 questions on the real test. In how many ways can Professor Hermann make up the test?
For the remainder of this question, we will consider one of the world's most popular video games, Minecraft (adapted from Mills & Mills, 2016). In this game, the character (you) can attempt to tame a wolf with a bone. Assume that you get 9 tries to tame the wolf, i.e. there are 9 bones. Each time you tame the wolf, the wolf becomes a dog and a new wolf appears which you can then attempt to also tame. This continues until you have used up all 9 bones, and the goal is to end up with as many dogs as possible at the end of the game. The probability of taming the wolf with each attempt is fixed at 0.54. Let X denote the number of dogs at the end of the game so that X~ BIN (9,0.54). Assume you are about to play the game. 15. The probability that you will tame some number a or less dogs is 0.66144. What must be (round to the nearest whole number)?
