Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. 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.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that $p = 0.7$

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

$P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972$

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's total interior angle measurement will equal 180°.

Set all measurements equal to 180:

(82) + (9x - 6) + (6x - 1) = 180

Simplify. Combine like terms:

(82 - 6 - 1) + (9x + 6x) = 180

(82 - 7) + (15x) = 180

(75) + 15x = 180

Next, isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, Subtract 75 from both sides of the equation:

15x + 75 = 180

15x + 75 (-75) = 180 (-75)

15x = 180 - 75

15x = 105

Next, divide 15 from both sides of the equation:

(15x)/15 = (105)/15

x = 105/15

x = 7

7 is your value for x.

Caitlyn did 6/7 of the problems on her quiz correctly and 4 incorrectly. She did all the problems. How many problems were there?

vazorg [7]

It's simple you've been told that correct answers equals 6/7 and she did all the questions. Therefore the incorrect answers equals 1/7, which is 4. So just times 4 by 7. 4 x 7 = 28. 28 questions on the quiz.
