Answer:

b. 42 people

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foreigner living in the U.S., there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are naturalized citizens, or they are not. The probability of a foreigner living in the U.S. not being a naturalized citizen is independent from other foreigners living in the U.S. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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

"approximately 60% of foreign-born people who live in the U.S. are not naturalized citizens"

This means that p = 0.6

70 foreign-born people who live in the U.S

This means that n = 70

How many people would you expect to get that are not naturalized citizens?

E(X) = np = 70*0.6 = 42

So the correct answer is:

b. 42 people

-6n-20=-2n+4 (1-3n)<br> how do you solve it?
Leona [35]
6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)

−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n

−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)

−6n−20=−14n+4

−6n−20=−14n+4

Add 14n to both sides.

−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n

8n−20=4

Add 20 to both sides.

8n−20+20=4+20

8n=24

Divide both sides by 8.

8n/8 = 24/8

n=3

Use the commutative property to solve for n<br> 98,551+2,851=2,841+n<br> n=
dezoksy [38]
If the commutative property indicates that a+b=b+a with the problem being 98,551+2,841=2,841+n, its a pretty safe assumption that n would equal 98,551. a would be 98,551 as b would be 2,841.

Answer for both pleaseeeeeeeeeee
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

0 and yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a=6m where m is any integer since a is divisible by 6. (a+12)/3=(6m+12)/3=2m+4 which is also an integer. The remainder is 0.

Since n is divisible by 3, n can be written as 3a, where a is any integer and m can be written as 2b, where b is any integer. n*m+12=6ab+12 which is divisible by 2.
