Answer:

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each stolen car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is recovered, or it is not. The probability of a stolen car being recovered is independent of other stolen cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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 standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

In this problem, we have that:

n = 300, p = 0.89

So

E(X) = np = 300*0.89 = 267

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.89*0.11} = 5.42

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Simplify each expression x + x+ x
vladimir2022 [97]
X+x+x

You would add all the x's together with this in mind:

Every variable has a 1 in front of it. It doesn't matter what it is.

So,

1x+1x+1x= 3x

The answer is 3x.

I hope this helps!

So for each of the graphs, you basically just have to fill out slope form, which is y=my+b. And to make this equation, you need to find each variable.

First, find the slope. To calculate slope, count the rise (how many units up or down) the line goes from any point to the next immediate point, then the run (how many units left or right.) This should leave you with a fraction, rise/run. For example, on number 3, from labeled points (-5, -4) to (5,2) (double check cause it’s hard to see on my phone, but i think those are the points on 1??) it rises 6 units (-4 to 2) and runs 10 units (-5 to 5). This gives you your rise/run fraction, which is 6/10, simplified to 3/5.

So the slope fills out the m part of the equation. For 3, we found that slope is 3/5, and that fits into the m variable of the slope equation.

This makes it y=3/5x+b.

The last (and considerably less confusing) step is to find b. b is the y-intercept, which is just the point in the graph where the line crosses the y-axis and x=0. On 3, this would be (0,-1) or just -1.

So fill -1 into the b slot of the equation, and you get y=3/5x-1. And thats it!!

Let me know if you still need help on any of the other problems, but I hoped this helped to clear it up!! :)

Six times the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 18.Find the integers 1st integers (smallest of 3): 2nd integers (middle o
OLga [1]

Answer:

-1, 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be n, n + 2 and n + 4, then

6( n + n+2 + n + 4) = 18

6(3n + 6) = 18    Divide through by 6:

3n + 6 = 3

3n = -3

n = -1

So the integers are -1, 1 and 3.

What is the equation of the graph
vredina [299]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  the correct choice is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a rise of 2 for a run of 1, so a slope of 2. The line crosses the y-axis at y=-2, so the y-intercept is -2. The slope-intercept equation for the line is ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

  y = 2x -2
