<span>Let x = amt of water evaporated :.05(50) = .08(50-x) 2.5 = 4 - .08x .08x = 4 - 2.5 .08x = 1.5 x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated : ; Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right? .05(50) = .08(50-18.75) .05(50) = .08(31.25) 2.5 = 2.5</span>

Number three is D and number 4 is also D.

Explanation for number three:

When you divide 12 by 3, you get 4. This gives us the number we need to multiply 10 by to get our answer. 10 x 4 = 40

Explanation for number 4:

In the last question, the first step to getting to the answer was to divide the first two numbers. This is no different. When you divide 32.5 by 5, you get 6.5. Then you multiply 10 and 6.5, which equals 65.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

b. 4x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

American households increasingly rely on cell phones as their exclusive telephone service. It is reported that 50.4% of American
OLga [1]

The variance of the binomial distribution of the number of households with landline service is 2.

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

It is the probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.

The variance of the distribution is given by:

V(X) = np(1 - p)

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 8, p = 0.504.

Hence the variance is given by:

V(X) = 8 x 0.504 x 0.496 = 2.
