The steps below are presented in order to arrive to the value of k of the given equation.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator. This will be,
(k + 12/ k)(k) = 8(k)
Then, we simplify,
k + 12 = 8k
We then, subtract 8k to both sides of the equation,
k - 8k + 12 = 8k - 8k
Simplifying,
-7k + 12 = 0
Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation and divide both sides by -7. This will us the final answer of,
k = 12/7
Answer: the awnser is c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. 40%
2. The theoretical probability is 3% greater than the experimental probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are informed that a number cube is rolled 20 times and the number 4 is rolled 8 times. The experimental probability of rolling a 4 is;
(the number of times a 4 was rolled)/(total number of rolls)
8/20 = 0.4
0.4*100 = 40%
The experimental probability of obtaining at least one tails, one or more tails, is represented in mathematical notation as;
P(HT or TH or TT)
The above events are mutually exclusive, thus;
P(HT or TH or TT) = P(HT) + P(TH) + P( TT)
= (22+34+16)/(28+22+34+16)
= 0.72 = 72%
On the other hand, the theoretical probability of obtaining at least one tails,
P(HT or TH or TT) = 3/4
= 75%
This is because there is at least one tail in 3 out of 4 possible outcomes.
Therefore, it is true to say that the theoretical probability is 3% greater than the experimental probability.
