Could anyone help me with this problem? I understand that you can cross multiply but is there a shorter way?

There are several steps needed. I'm not sure this is what you call a shorter way, but I hope it helps!! :)

1) 3 lbs covers 1800 ft2 but we need to find how many ft2 1lb will cover. Divide # of lbs of seed available (3 lbs in this case) into the # of ft2 the available seed will cover (1800ft2 in this case):
1800ft2/3lbs=600ft2

So 1 lb covers 600ft2.

2) Now to find how many lbs 8400 needs. Divide the # of ft2 for 1 lb into the # of ft2 total (8400ft2 in this case):
8400/600ft2 (for 1lb) = 14 lbs

3) 14 lbs is now how many bags? The question does not say how many lbs in 1 bag.

IF ASSUMING the bags are 3lbs each, you divide the # of lbs per bag into the # of total lbs (14lbs in this case).

14lbs/3lb bags= 4.7 bags needed

IF 4lb bags:
14lbs/3lb bags= 3.5 bags needed

IF 5lb bags:
14lbs/5lb bags= 2.8 bags needed

IF 6lb bags:
14lbs/6lbs= 2.3 bags needed

Assume the random variable X has a binomial distribution with the given probability of obtaining a success. Find the following p
Verizon [17]

Answer:

P(X = 17) = 0.3002

Step-by-step explanation:

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 this problem we have that:

n = 18, p = 0.9

We want P(X = 17). So

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

P(X = 17) = C_{18,17}.(0.9)^{17}.(0.1)^{1} = 0.3002

P(X = 17) = 0.3002

Can someone plz help me with this problem I’m very frustrated
Artyom0805 [142]
In a circle, the degree measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the central angle that intercepts it.

A full circle is 360 degrees.

Add all the measures and set equal to 360 degrees.

One angle measure is not given, but that angle has a mark and another angle has the same mark, so the angle whose measure is not give also measures -9x - 3.

-9x - 3 + x + 107 + (-6x + 8) + (-9x - 3) + (-13x - 1) = 360

-9x - 3 + x + 107 - 6x + 8 - 9x - 3 - 13x - 1 = 360

-36x + 108 = 360

-36x = 252

x = 252/(-36)

x = -7

It would be the 2nd answer....your initial value (read from the left of the line graph) is 4.....following the line to the first even point you can see it has dropped 3 for the 4 points it has moved to the right....giving -3/4 as the rate of change.
