Allushta [10]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

The answer is -2 + (-14) = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = first number or the number is seven times "the other"

Let b = second number or "the other"

We have

a + b = -16

a = 7b

So we subtitie a = 7b to a + b = -16 which generate:

7b + b = -16

8b = -16

b = -2

We know the other number is -2, we need to find the second number

a = 7b

a = 7(-2)

a = -14

Thus the numbers are -2 and -14

To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in

lukranit [14]

Answer: $\dfrac{26}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : $p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Sample size taken by customs oﬃcial : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)$

$1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}$

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $\dfrac{26}{27}$
