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 (5x^2 -3x+3) - (x^2+2x-1).
Natali [406]
Eliminate parenthesis by using the distribution property

= 5x² -3x +3 - x² - 2x +1

Group similar terms

= (5-1)*x² + (-3 -2)*x + (3+1)

Then sum everything:

= 4x² -5x +4

Which representation does not show a proportional relationship between x and y?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Table A

Step-by-step explanation:

looking at the two tables, we have the observations as follows;

For table B, if we divide x by y; we have a ratio of 2/3

This happens throughout the table

What this means is that x = 2/3 * y

But for table A, we notice a pattern for the first two lines

The pattern here is that x = 2y

But as we move to the next two rows, we notice this fails and thus, we fail to establish a pattern that works for all the rows;

Hence table B has a pattern for all its rows

In a theater, there are 4 long rows of chairs,each with an equal number of chairs There are 5 ahort rows of chairs,each with an
Hoochie [10]
<span>There are 4 long rows and 5 short rows in the theater. x represents the number of chairs in each long row and y represents the number of chairs in each short row.

So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows= 4x
Total number of chairs in 5 short rows = 5y
Total number of chairs in the theater on a normal day = 4x + 5y

When 2 chairs are added to each long row, the number of chairs will change to (x+2).
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows will be = 4(x+2)

When 3 chairs are added to each short row, the number of chairs will change to (y+3)
So, total number of chairs in 5 short rows will be = 5(y+3)

Thus, total number of chairs in the theater in rush day = 4(x+2) + 5(y+3)
= 4x + 8 + 5y + 15
= 4x + 5y + 23

Thus we can say the number of chairs increase by 23 as compared to a normal day.
