Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The result is eight less than the number means that

the result = number - 8

( x + 7 ) * 2 = x - 8

=> 2x + 14 = x - 8

=> x = -22

Answer: -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

If the sum of a number and seven is doubled, the result is four less than the number. The expression would be

2(x + 7) = x - 4

We would open the bracket on the left hand side of the equation by multiplying each term inside the bracket by 2. It becomes

2x + 14 = x - 4

Subtracting 14 and x from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x + 14 - 14 - x =x - x - 4 - 14

x = - 18

Find the distance between the points (0,-2) and (-8,-8)

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Distance between the points = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:

(0,-2) and (-8,-8)

To find the distance between the two points.

Solution:

Applying distance formula to find the distance between the points.

For points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ the distance is given as:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Plugging in the given points in the formula.

$d=\sqrt{(-8-0)^2+(-8-(-2))^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-8+2))^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{64+36}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$d=\pm10$

Since distance is always positive. So $d=10$ units.

The life, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44. If 100 o

Bond [772]

Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

$\bf P(X$

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

$\bf P(X$

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and

$\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}$

where

$\bf \binom{100}{k}$ equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

$\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999$
