Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
A ----> population of the city A
B ----> population of the city B
we know that
25% of B is equal to

so



That means ----> population of city A is 75% of population city B
We have that
<span>(x+2)(y+3)=0
we know that
Part A)
the x-intercept is when y=0
for y=0
</span>(x+2)(0+3)=0--------> (x+2)*3=0------> 3x+6=0----> 3x=-6----> x=-2
the point is (-2,0)
Part B)
the y-intercep is when x=0
for x=0
(0+2)(y+3)=0-----> 2*(y+3)=0-----> 2y+6=0----> y=-6/2-----> y=-3
the point is (0,-3)
Since each trial has the same probability of success,
Let, <span><span><span>Xi</span>=1</span></span> if the <span><span>i<span>th</span></span></span> trial is a success (<span>0</span> otherwise). Then, <span><span>X=<span>∑3<span>i=1</span></span><span>Xi</span></span><span>X=<span>∑<span>i=1</span>3</span><span>Xi</span></span></span>,
and <span><span>E[X]=E[<span>∑3<span>i=1</span></span><span>Xi</span>]=<span>∑3<span>i=1</span></span>E[<span>Xi</span>]=<span>∑3<span>i=1</span></span>p=3p=1.8</span><span>E[X]=E[<span>∑<span>i=1</span>3</span><span>Xi</span>]=<span>∑<span>i=1</span>3</span>E[<span>Xi</span>]=<span>∑<span>i=1</span>3</span>p=3p=1.8</span></span>
So, <span><span>p=0.6</span><span>p=0.6</span></span>, and <span><span>P{X=3}=<span>0.63</span></span><span>P{X=3}=<span>0.63</span></span></span>
I thought what I did was sound, but the textbook says the answer to (a) is <span>0.60.6</span> and (b) is <span>00</span>.
Their reasoning (for (a)) is as follows:
There are 20 us tons in 40,000 pounds.
Yup 39 is the correct answer good job :-)
