It would be -6 all you need to do is plug in the 5 for -x which equals -5 and then subtract 1 and u get -6

An international company has 13,600 employees in one country. If this represents 19.3% of the company's employees, how many empl

Hi there! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Let’s set it up like this: 13,600/x = 19.3/100. We do this, because we’re looking for the total amount of people, which would be the whole. We already have the part. Cross multiply the values in order to get 1,360,000 = 19.3x. Now, divide each side by 19.3 to isolate the variable. When you do, you get x is approx. 70,466.3212 or 70,466 when rounded to the nearest whole number. Plus, you can’t have a fraction of a person, anyway. The company has a total of 70,466 employees.

A consumer organization estimates that over a 1-year period 20% of cars will need to be repaired once, 5% will need repairs

Answer:

a) 0.5476

b) 0.0676

c) 0.4524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can conclude that 74% of the cars won't need any repairs over a 1-year period (100 - 20 - 5 - 1 = 74%). And 26% will need at least 1 repair over a 1-year period.

P(car doesn't need repair) = 0.74

P (car needs repair) = 0.26

If you own two cars, the probability that:

a) Neither will need repair:

We need that car 1 won't need repair AND car 2 won't need repair.

=P(Car 1 doesn't need repair) x P(Car 2 doesn't need repair)

= 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.5476

The probability that neither will need repair is 0.5476.

b) Both will need repair:

We need that car 1 needs repair AND car 2 needs repair.

P(Car 1 needs repair) x P(Car 2 needs repair)

= 0.26 x 0.26 = 0.0676

The probability that both will need repair is 0.0676

c) At least one car will need repair

Car 1 needs repair or Car 2 needs repair or both need repair.

To solve this one, it's easier to use the complement of P(neither needs repair)

1 - P(neither needs repair)

1 - (0.74)(0.74) = 1 - 0.5476 = 0.4524

The probability that at least one car will need repair is 0.4524

Anyone help please I need it

Answer:

$-10+i\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following expression:

$\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{-98}-\sqrt{144}+\sqrt{-128}$

In order to simplify and solve this problem, one must keep the following points in mind: the square root function ( $\sqrt{}$ ) is a way of requesting one to find what number times itself equals the number underneath the radical sign. One must also remember the function of taking the square root of a negative number. Remember the following property: ( $\sqrt{-1}=i$ ). Simplify the given equation. Factor each of the terms and rewrite the equation. Use the square root property to simplify the radicals and perform operations between them.
