Answer:a=5

b= -1

c= -14

The standard equation is

ax + by = c .........(i)

given equation

5x = y - 14

or, 5x - y = - 14

or, 5x + (-1 × y) = - 14 ........(ii)

comparing equation (ii) with (i)

a= 5

b= -1

c = -14

You have been hired as the quality control office of a pharmaceutical company that manufactures aspirin tablets. According to th

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$P(X=0)=(24C0)(0.04)^0 (1-0.04)^{24-0}=0.375413$

$P(X=1)=(24C1)(0.04)^1 (1-0.04)^{24-1}=0.$

So then the probability that the batch would be accepeted is:

$0.375413+0.375413=0.7508$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=24, p=0.04)$

On this case p=0.04 represent the probability that a random the tablet would be NOT accepted

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

They accept the batch if there is only one or no tablet that doesn’t meet the test specification, so let's find the individual probabilities for this case:

$P(X=0)=(24C0)(0.04)^0 (1-0.04)^{24-0}=0.375413$

$P(X=1)=(24C1)(0.04)^1 (1-0.04)^{24-1}=0.$

So then the probability that the batch would be accepeted is:

$0.375413+0.375413=0.7508$

The sum of three numbers is 85. The second is 7 more than the first. The third is 2 more than four times the second. Find the nu

9966 [12]

Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
