How do I write an algebraic equation for this word problem?

Hi.

Please note that I haven't done much algebra.

4 more = 4 +

Twice as many than the runner up means 2 times the amount they ate (a variable) = 2n

So far we have 4 + 2n

Since it's an equation, we are going to know what it equals. In the problem, we find out that it's 11. So the equation looks like this:

4 + 2n = 11

If this didn't work out, please let me know.

Answer:

a) P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421

b) P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714

P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502

P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319

And adding these values we got:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535

c) We can find the expected value given by:

E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number cleared by arrest or exceptional", on this case we can model this variable with this distribution:

X \sim Binom(n=50, p=0.65)

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!}

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421

Part b

We want this probability:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)

We can find the individual probabilities:

P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714

P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502

P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319

And adding these values we got:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535

Part c

We can find the expected value given by:

E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

Answer:

$24.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the present be c.

Then (3/4)c = $18.33.

To isolate (solve for) c, mult. both sides of this equation by (4/3):

(4/3)(3/4)c = (4/3)($18.33), or

             c  =  $24.11

A 1970 comic book has appreciated 7% per year and originally sold for $0.35. What will the comic book be worth in 2017?
omeli [17]
You tell me if this makes sense to you.

It's 47 years from 1970 to 2017 so you would need to multiply 7% by the 47 years.

So: 0.07x47= 3.29 

Now you should add your new price to your original price: $3.29+$0.35= 3.64

So it should cost $3.64 now. Yes that does seem kind of low but that's how you do it.

I hope this helps :)
