Sarah's initial reasoning appears sound. She rounded the number of bags and their contents, so the figure of 4000 bracelets seems quite attainable.

The precise calculation shows 214 bags * 22 bracelets / bag = 4708 bracelets; thus, it's evident Sarah accounted for potential loss of some beads while still having sufficient to create 4000 bracelets.

However, for complete assurance, it would be wise to ask Sarah a few questions. For instance:

1) How many beads are typically defective?

2) What percentage of beads usually gets lost during crafting?

If Sarah did not consider these factors, she might be overestimating the bracelet quantity they could produce.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For resolution, the Euclidean division is necessary:

  • The polynomial is expressed as 16-2x³-6x²+x+9=-2x³-6x²+x+9
  • We will divide this by:  4+3x-2=3x+2 and analyze the remainder

A visual representation of the process is provided

  • The remainder is 47/9, hence the value to subtract is 47/9

A train station has installed a system for determining whether bags contain explosives. It has a 95% chance of correctly identif
PIT_PIT [12445]
a) P(identified as explosive) equals P(actual explosive & identified as explosive) + P(not explosive & identified as explosive) = (10/(4*10^6))*0.95+(1-10/(4*10^6))*0.005 = 0.005002363. Thus, the probability that it actually contains explosives given that it's identified as containing explosives is (10/(4*10^6))*0.95/0.005002363 = 0.000475. b) Let the probability of correctly identifying a bag without explosives be a. Therefore, a = 0.99999763, approximately 99.999763%. c) No, even if this becomes 1, the true proportion of explosives will always be below half of the total detected.

Inessa [12570]

Establish a proportion.

8/127=15/x

Cross multiply

8x=1,905

Divide each side by 8

x=238.125

The greatest of the actual distances is 238.125 km.

Hope this clarification helps:)
