You are building a right-angled triangular flower garden along a stream as shown in the figure.

If pq=3 and pq+rs=5, then 3+rs=5 is an example of the _________.

Mrrafil [7]

This is an example of the substitution property of equality, meaning that if pq = 3, you may substitute 3 for pq in another related equation. So if pq+rs=5 is true, then 3+rs=5 is true as well.

Among 8 PS4s, four are good and four have defects. Unaware of this, a customer buys 5 PS4s.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly 2 defective PS4s among them is 0.3125.

(b) The probability that exactly 2 are defective given that at least 2 purchased PS4s are defective is 0.3846.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of defective PS4s.

It is provided that 4 PS4s of 8 are defective.

The probability of selecting a defective PS4 is:

$P(X)=p=\frac{4}{8}=0.50$

A customer bought n = 5 PS4s.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.50.

The probability function of a Binomial distribution is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, 3...$

(a)

Compute the probability of exactly 2 defective PS4s among them as follows:

$P(X=2)={5\choose 2}(0.50)^{2}(1-0.50)^{5-2}=10\times0.25\times0.125=0.3125$

Thus, the probability of exactly 2 defective PS4s among them is 0.3125.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly 2 are defective given that at least 2 purchased PS4s are defective as follows:

$P(X=2|X\geq 2)=\frac{P(X=2\cap X\geq2)}{P(X\geq2)} =\frac{P(X=2)}{P(X\geq 2)}$

The value of P (X = 2) is 0.3125.

The value of P (X ≥ 2) is:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

Then the value of P (X = 2 | X ≥ 2) is:

$P(X=2|X\geq 2)=\frac{P(X=2)}{P(X\geq 2)}=\frac{0.3125}{0.8125} =0.3846$

Thus, the probability that exactly 2 are defective given that at least 2 purchased PS4s are defective is 0.3846.

Which graph represents the polynomial function g(x)=x^3+5x^2-12x-36

Lilit [14]

$g(x)=x^3+5x^2-12x-36\\\\y-intercept\ for\ x=0:\\\\g(0)=0^3+5(0)^2-12(0)-36=-36\\\\\text{First or fourth graph.}\\\\\text{If the answer is 4th graph, then g(-2)=0}\\\\g(-2)=(-2)^3+5(-2)^2-12(-2)-36=-8+5(4)+24-36\\\\=-8+20+24-36=0$
