P(X = 5) will have a probability of 0.101 that less than 5 of them do not require vision correction.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is concerned with the occurrence of a random event.

Probability can only have a value between 0 and 1. Its simple notion is that something is very likely to occur. It is the proportion of favorable events to the total number of events.

Given data;

The probability that no vision correction is required p = 0.24

No. adults are randomly selected n = 12

We'll introduce a random variable. Out of every six adults, X does not require vision correction. The distribution of X is binomial. The probability required is P ( X = 5 )

From the binomial distribution:

P(X = 5) = 12C₅×(0.24)⁵×(0.77)⁷

P(X = 5) = 792×0.0007962624×0.1604

P(X = 5) = 0.101

Hence, the probability that fewer than 5 of them do not require a vision correction, P(X = 5) will be 0.101.

Solve 4x − 2(x + 1) = 3x + 10. −12 12 −8 8
Dominik [7]
Original Equation: 4x - 2(x+1) = 3x + 10

Step 1: Use Distributive Property
4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 2: Combine Like Terms
2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 3: Solve
       2x - 2 = 3x + 10
     - 2x        -2x 
--------------------------------
      -2 = x + 10
    -10         -10
------------------------
    -12 = x

The LCM of three numbers is 7920 and their GCD is 12. Two of the numbers are 48 and 264. Using factor notation find the third nu
12345 [234]

Answer:

The third number is 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.

48 = 2*2*2*2*3

264 = 2*2*2*3*11

9x = 3*3*x

2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer

1584x = 7920y

so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.

Now the GCD is 12  so x must have  4 as one of its factors.

Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y  would be 4.

If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.

This checks out OK.
