A box contains 100 colored chips; some are violet and some are red. Wilson chooses a chip at random, records the color, and places it back in the bag. Wilson has recorded 9 violet chips and 16 red chips. Using these results, what is the predicted number of violet chips in the box?

An optical inspection system is used to distinguish among different part types. the probability of a correct classification of any part is 0.92. suppose that three parts are inspected and that the classifications are independent. let the random variable x denote the number of parts that are correctly classified. determine the probability mass function of x. round your answers to four decimal places (e. g. 98.7654). x f(x) 0 1 2 3

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

Boris needs to buy plastic spoons. brand a has a box 42 spoons for $2.37. brand b has a box of 72 spoons for $3.57. find the unit price for each brand. then state which brand is the better buy based on the unit price. round your answer to the nearest cent.
