If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

Fifteen people have been exposed to a particular disease. Each one independently has a 40% chance of contracting the disease. A

valina [46]

Answer: e. .0950

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of people that can be cure from disease.

Since each people independently has a 40% chance of contracting the disease.

So , $X\sim Binomial(n=15,p=0.40)$

A hospital has the capacity to handle at most 8 cases of the disease.

Binomial distribution formula : $P(X=x)= ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Then , the probability that the hospital’s capacity will be exceeded

$P(X>8)=1-P(X\leq8)\\\\=1-0.905\ \ [\text{Using Binomial distribution table for n=15 , x=8 and p=0.4.}]$

$=0.095$

Hence, the probability that the hospital’s capacity will be exceeded is e. .0950.

Thus , the correct option is e. .0950.
