The chocolate factory is preparing a delivery of valentine's chocolate boxes. in a single container they can fit eight large chocolate boxes or ten small chocolate boxes. they send ninety-six chocolate boxes in one day using more large boxes than small ones. how many containers did they use? the answers are: sixteen fourteen ten eleven.

Number of containers they used is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming all the containers will be filled to the maximum level we can send 96 chocolate boxes in the following ways,

1) First way is to send 12 containers of large chocolate boxes.(

But this is not viable because it says that they have sent both small and large boxes.

2) Second way is to send 2 containers of large chocolate boxes and 8 containers of small chocolate boxes . So the total will be .

But this is not possible as they have sent more large chocolate boxes than small chocolate boxes.

3)Third and final way is to send 7 containers of large chocolate boxes and 4 small chocolate box containers . So the total number of chocolate boxes is .

In this case they have sent more from the large chocolate boxes than small chocolate boxes.

So the total number of containers they used is .

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
