5/8 = 10/16
Since it is measured in 1/16 of a pound.  I converted 5/8  to 10/16.

5    =    10
___      __
 8         16      

Multiplied both top and bottom by 2 to get the 16 as the denominator.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.25)

For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X= 5) = (15C5) (0.25)^{5} (1-0.25)^{15-5}= 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.25)

For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X= 5) = (15C5) (0.25)^{5} (1-0.25)^{15-5}= 0.165

I am once having trouble solving an equation. 6x2 - 2x = 19
brilliants [131]

Answer:

X=1 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

6X multiply 2 - 2X=19

Calculate the product

12X-2X=19

Collect the like terms

10X=19

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

X=19/10

Simplify the improper fraction

X=1 9/10

adoni [48]

Answer:

the equation would be

8.4x = 23.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of each gallon of gas is $x.

And we have been given that 8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94.

So, we can make the below proportion

Cross multiplying, we get

Hence, the equation that can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas is
