Answer: choice C) 15</h3>
Simplify the left side to get
2(4+x)+(13+x)
2(4)+2(x) +13+x
8+2x+13+x
3x+21
------------
So the original equation
2(4+x)+(13+x) = 3x+k
turns into
3x+21 = 3x+k
------------
Subtract 3x from both sides
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21-3x = 3x+k-3x
21 = k
k = 21
-----------
If k = 21, then the original equation will have infinitely many solutions. This is because we will end up with 3x+21 on both sides, leading to 0 = 0 after getting everything to one side. This is a true equation no matter what x happens to be.
If k is some fixed number other than 21, then there will be no solutions. This equation is inconsistent (one side says one thing, the other side says something different). If k = 15, then
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21 = 3x+15
21 = 15 .... subtract 3x from both sides
The last equation is false, so there are no solutions here.
note: if you replace k with a variable term, then there will be exactly one solution.

Answer:
E(x)=0.15
V(x)=0.3075
S(x)=0.5545
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a discrete variable is calculated as:
where 
are the values that the variable can take and 
are their respective probabilities.
So, if we call x the number of defective transistors in cartons, we can calculate the mean E(x) as:
Because there are 0 defective transistor with a probability of 0.92, 1 defective transistor with a probability of 0.03, 2 defective transistors with a probability of 0.03 and 3 defective transistors with a probability of 0.01.
At the same way, the variance V(x) is calculated as:
Where 
So, the variance V(x) is equal to:
Finally, the standard deviation is calculated as:
