Solve each proportion. show your work. 2x/7 = 12/14

1 answer:

8 0

2x/7 = 12/14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
2x = 84/14
Simplify:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2 and your answer is....
x = 3

If we sample from a small finite population without replacement, the binomial distribution should not be used because the event

seropon [69]

Answer:

5/4324 = 0.001156337

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the hyper-geometric distribution consider the following example:

There are 100 senators in the US Congress, and suppose 60 of them are republicans so 100 - 60 = 40 are democrats).

We extract a random sample of 30 senators and we want to answer this question:

What is the probability that 10 senators in the sample are republicans (and of course, 30 - 10 = 20 democrats)?

The answer using the h-g distribution is:

$\large \frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{100-60}{30-10}}{\binom{100}{30}}=\frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{40}{20}}{\binom{100}{30}}$

Now, imagine there are 56 senators (56 lottery numbers), 6 are republicans (6 winning numbers and 50 losers), we extract a sample of 6 senators (the bettor selects 6 numbers). What is the probability that 4 senators are republicans? (What is the probability that 4 numbers are winners?).

<em>As we see, the situation is exactly the same,</em> but changing the numbers. So the answer would be

$\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{56-6}{6-4}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}$

Now compute each combination separately:

$\large \binom{6}{4}=\frac{6!}{4!2!}=15\\\\\binom{50}{2}=\frac{50!}{2!48!}=1225\\\\\binom{50}{6}=\frac{50!}{6!44!}=15890700$

and now replace the values:

$\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{15*1225}{15890700}=\frac{18375}{15890700}=\frac{5}{4324}$

and that is it.

If the decimal expression is preferred then divide the fractions to get 0.001156337

Mariulka [41]

Answer: 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²) you would end up with an equation like this: 36 + 64 = 100. You would then square root 100 and the answer would be 10 ft

Answer:

For product A, the product is increasing, for the bigger the number you plug into x (due to the fact that the numbers become bigger because of the time: year 1, year 2, etc)

Product A is 82% change rate, while

product B is 983.45/4 = 245.8625, 1756.16/3 = 585.3867

Product B is 245.8625/585.3867

product B is 42% change rate

Product A change rate is higher than Product B by 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped! :)
