½(x+10) = ¼(x+54)
Solving it

x/2 + 5 = x/4 + 13.5
x/2 - x/4 = 13.5 - 5
x/4 = 8.5
x = 8.5 × 4 = 34

At the 2/8 part, just use the quadratic formula. If you use it, you should get the other two zeroes:

$-4+\frac{\sqrt{14}}{2} \\ -4-\frac{\sqrt{14}}{2}$

Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y)= and P(X and Y)=. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the neare

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, the correct question is:

Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary

Answer: Two events (event X and event Y) are said to be independent if the probability of event X occurring does not affect the probability of event Y occurring and vice versa. If the probability of X = P(X) and the probability of Y = P(Y), therefore P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y).

Given that P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. Therefore:

P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y)

Making P(X) the subject of formula by dividing through by P(Y) gives:

$P(X)=\frac{P(X\ and\ Y)}{P(Y)} \\Substituting\ values:\\P(X)=\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{5}{6} }=\frac{1}{3} *\frac{6}{5}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4\\ P(X)=0.4$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5}3x-8=7$

means to say that for any given $\varepsilon>0$ , we can find $\delta$ such that anytime $|x-5|$ (i.e. the whenever $x$ is "close enough" to 5), we can guarantee that $|(3x-8)-7|$ (i.e. the value of $3x-8$ is "close enough" to the limit value).
