Answer:

28.6, that is, about 29 are expected to be defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each battery, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a battery being defective is independent of other betteries. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The probability that a battery is defective is 1/14.

This means that p = \frac{1}{14}

400 batteries.

This means that n = 400

How many are expected to be defective?

E(X) = np = 400*\frac{1}{14} = 28.6

28.6, that is, about 29 are expected to be defective

Solve the equation. –x 8 3x = x – 6 x = –18 x = –14 x = 2 x = 4
LenKa [72]

The value of the variable x in the equation –x + 8 + 3x = x – 6 is - 14.

<h3>How to find variable in an equation?</h3>

The variables of an equation can be found as follows:

–x + 8 + 3x = x – 6

The variable in the equation is x.

Therefore,

–x + 8 + 3x = x – 6

combine like terms on the left side

-x + 3x + 8 = x - 6

2x + 8 = x - 6

subtract x form both sides of the equation

2x - x + 8 = - 6

x + 8 = -6

subtract 8 from both sides

x = -6 - 8

x = - 14
