Answer:

Let X be the number of times the target is hit. The probability P(X≥1) then equals 1 minus the probability of missing the target three times:

P(X≥1) = 1− (1−P(A)) (1−P(B)) (1−P(C))

           = 1−0.4*0.3*0.2

           = 0.976

To find the probability P(X≥2) of hitting the target at least twice, you can consider two cases: either two people hit the target and one does not, or all people hit the target. We find:

P(X≥2)=(0.4*0.7*0.8)+(0.6*0.3*0.8)+(0.6*0.7*0.2)+(0.6*0.7*0.8) = 0.788

4. Which of the following describes all the solutions of -4x + 2y > 12 when y = 4?
Alja [10]

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are given the expression

-4x + 2y > 12

We want to substitute y=4 into the expression

-4x + 2(4) > 12

-4x + 8 > 12

-4x> 12-8

-4x> 4

divide both sides by -4

x> 4/-4

x>-1

Hence option B is correct

stepladder [879]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

  • Number = x

(x+9) \div  3=48

x+9=48\times 3

x+9=144

x=144-9

x=135

A long year-end status report for work is 130 pages long. You need to print 17 copies for a meeting next week. How much is the p
Nikitich [7]
The first thing you should do in this case is to know how much paper you need to print for the 17 copies.
 We have then:
 (17) * (130) = 2210
 Then, you must calculate the number of reams you need:
 n = (2210) / (500) = 4.42
 You need 4 full reams and 42% of a fifth ream. So, the cost will be
 C = (4.42) * (3.44) = 15.2048 $
 The unit cost of each paper is:
 Cu = (15.2048) / (2210) = 0.00688 $
 answer
 the paper is going to cost 0.00688 $ for those reports
