Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in the equation you see here, our goal is to get x by itself.

Our first step will be to isolate the term containing x which in this case is 2x. To isolate 2x, we have to get rid of this +3 by subtracting from both sides of the equation.

On the left, +3 -3 cancels and we're left with 2x. On the right, 9 - 3 simplifies to 6.

So now we have the equation 2x = 6.

To get x by itself since it's being multiplied by 2, we just to divide by 2 on both sides of the equation. On the left, the 2's cancel and we're left with x. On the right, $\frac{6}{2}$ simplifies to 3 so our answer is x = 3.

Someone is writing the answer so ill just give you this tip for whenever.
A negitive times a negitive is positive
a negative times a positive is negitive
and a positive times a positive is positive (just had to add it to be complete)

Answer:

(1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because a system of equations is when two lines cross to form a point that they share. (1,0) is the point where the two lines cross/intersect.

A video game company surveys a random sample of 225 of its best customer and finds that the average gamer spends $406 a year on

Burka [1]

The second survey is more believable because there is randomness in the second rather than the first survey. Since the second company surveyed in all interest levels while the first company only surveyed their best customers. Random sampling like what the second company did helps produce representative samples by removing voluntary response bias and undercover age bias.

A certain company sends 40% of its overnight mail parcels by means of express mail service A1. Of these parcels, 4% arrive after

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(d) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the tree diagram below.

(a)

The law of total probability sates that: $P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B')P(B')$

Use the law of total probability to determine the probability of a parcel being late.

$P(L)=P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})+P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})+P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})\\=(0.04\times0.40)+(0.01\times0.50)+(0.05\times0.10)\\=0.026$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b)

The conditional probability of an event A provided that another event B has already occurred is:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ as follows:

$P(A_{1}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.04\times 0.40}{0.026} \\=0.615$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(c)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{2}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.01\times 0.50}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ is 0.192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{3}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.05\times 0.10}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.
