Answer:  The required probability that the selected egg is a cracked brown egg is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a basket is filled with 7 white eggs and 14 brown eggs and half of the brown eggs are cracked. An egg is randomly selected from the basket.

We are to find the probability that the selected egg is a cracked brown egg.

Since half of the brown eggs are cracked, so the number of cracked brown eggs will be

\dfrac{14}{2}=7.

Let S denote the sample space for the experiment of selecting an egg from the basket and A denote the event that the selected egg is a cracked brown egg.

Then,

n(S) = 7 + 14 =21

and

n(A) = 7.

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{7}{21}=\dfrac{1}{3}.

Thus, the required probability that the selected egg is a cracked brown egg is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Number of eggs = 7 + 14 = 21
Number of cracked brown eggs + 7

P(cracked brown eggs) = 7/21 = 1/3

Answer: 1/3

Y=-2х - 4 y=x - 5 how many solutions does this have​
spayn [35]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 4 = x - 5

-3x - 4 = -5

-3x = -1

x = 1/3

y = 1/3 - 5

y = 1/3 - 15/3

y = -14/3

(1/3, -14/3)

Production times are evenly distributed between 8 and 15.8 minutes and production times are never outside of this interval. What
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

29.49% probability that a production time is between 9.7 and 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X between c and d, in which d is greater than c, is given by the following formula.

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b-a}

Production times are evenly distributed between 8 and 15.8 minutes and production times are never outside of this interval.

This means that a = 8, b = 15.8

What is the probability that a production time is between 9.7 and 12 minutes?

d = 12, c = 9.7.

So

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b-a}

P(9.7 \leq X \leq 12) = \frac{12 - 9.7}{15.8 - 8} = 0.2949

29.49% probability that a production time is between 9.7 and 12 minutes

Find the value of the variable x (2x+12) and 8x-18
maxonik [38]

Answer: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Just mutiply x on both sides which gives you 2x^2 + 12x then you mutiply 2x^2 then subtract that number on both sides and it gives you x = something then you distribute it on 8(something) - 18 you subtract

What is the derivative of y with respect to x if y = 2/X4
zepelin [54]
You're correct, the answer is C.

Given any function of the form y=x^n, then the derivative of y with respect to x (\frac{dy}{dx}) is written as:
\frac{dy}{dx}=nx^n^-^1

In which n is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.

For this example we have y= \frac{2}{x^4}, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form y=x^n:
y= \frac{2}{x^4} =2x^-^4

Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which n=-4):
\frac{dy}{dx}=(2)(-4)x^{-4-1}=-8 x^{-5}= -\frac{8}{x^5}

Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).
