Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, you need to simplify. In this case, we would need to distribute first.

-5x - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

-5x + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8

Combine like terms:

-5x + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8

-5x + 6x + 4x = 8 - 7

-x + 6x = 1

5x = 1

X needs to be by itself, so you would divide by 5 (the coefficient in front x) on both sides. So,

5x = 1

x = 1/5

Find the probability of rolling a prime number on the first die and even number on the second

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime outcomes on a die: 2,3,5

P(prime) = 3/6 = 1/2

Even outcom: 2,4,6

P(even) = 3/6 = 1/2

P(prime & even)

= P(prime) × P(even)

= ½ × ½

= ¼ or 0.25

A car dealer has 8 rows of cars with 16 cars in each. In each of the first 3 rows, 6 are used cars. The rest of the cars new car

The answer is 110 because if you multiply 8•16=128 and 18 cars are used, you subtract 128-18 which is 110.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723 based on their 13 year win history of 385 wins out

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins, or it does not. The probability of winning a game is independent of winning other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723

So $p = 0.3723$

12 games in November

So $n = 12$

What is the probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November?

This is $P(X = 6)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.3723)^{6}.(1-0.3723)^{6} = 0.1505$

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November
