The blue dot is what value on the number line -6 -10

the product of 2 consecutive odd integers is equal to 27 plus six times the sum of the integers. what is the larger integer

olganol [36]

2 consecutive odd integers : x and x + 2

x(x + 2) = 27 + 6(x + x + 2)
x^2 + 2x = 27 + 6(2x + 2)
x^2 + 2x = 27 + 12x + 12
x^2 + 2x - 12x - 12 - 27 = 0
x^2 -10x - 39 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 13) = 0

x + 3 = 0
x = -3 (extraneous solution)

x - 13 = 0
x = 13

x + 2 = 15

so ur 2 integers are 13 and 15, with 15 being the largest

Simplify -3y+2x-5y-7x

Sphinxa [80]

<h3><em><u>Simplify -3y+2x-5y-7x is:</u></em></h3><h3>-8y - 5x</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that, we have to simplify</u></em>

$-3y + 2x-5y-7x$

We can simplify the above expression by combining the like terms

Like terms are terms that has same variable ( with same exponent) with same or different coefficient

From given,

$-3y + 2x-5y-7x$

Here, like terms are -3y and -5y

And 2x and -7x

Group the like terms

$-3y-5y+2x-7x$

Combine the like terms

$-8y -5x$

Thus the given expression is simplified

Richard has just been given an l0-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which o

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is $p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

10 questions.

This means that $n = 10$

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is $P(X = 10)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024$

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so $P(X = 0)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074$

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

Since $P(X = 0) = 0.1074$ , from item b.

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926$

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

$P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055$

$P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008$

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0$

So

$P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328$

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
