Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\7x-8=6x\qquad\text{multiply by $8x$ to clear fractions}\\\\\boxed{x=8}\qquad\text{add $8-6x$}$

If you don't mind dealing with fractions, you can add 1/x -3/4 to get ...

7/8 -3/4 = 1/x

1/8 = 1/x . . . . . . . simplify

x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take reciprocals; equivalently, multiply by 8x.

24) sin x = 1/3<br> Find cos x.

liq [111]

Answer:

$\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse of a given right-angled triangle;

sin x = ( opposite / hypotenuse)

The opposite side to the angle x is thus 1 unit while the hypotenuse is 3 units. We need to determine the adjacent side to the angle x. We use the Pythagoras theorem since we are dealing with right-angled triangle;

The adjacent side would be;

$\sqrt{9-1}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

The cosine of an angle is given as;

cos x = (adjacent side / hypotenuse)

Therefore, the cos x would be;

$\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}$

Assume that X is a binomial random variable with n = 27 and p = 0.90. Calculate the following probabilities. (Do not round inter

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

a) $P(X=26) = 27C26 (0.9)^{26} (1-0.9)^{27-26}= 0.1744$

b) $P(X=25) = 27C25 (0.9)^{25} (1-0.9)^{27-25}= 0.2520$

c) $P(X=25) = 27C25 (0.9)^{25} (1-0.9)^{27-25}= 0.2520$

$P(X=26) = 27C26 (0.9)^{26} (1-0.9)^{27-26}= 0.1744$

$P(X=27) = 27C27 (0.9)^{27} (1-0.9)^{27-27}= 0.0582$

And addind the values we got:

$P(X\geq 25)= P(X=25)+P(X=26)+P(X=27)=0.2520+0.1744+0.0582=0.4846$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=27, p=0.9)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

We want this probability:

$P(X=26)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=26) = 27C26 (0.9)^{26} (1-0.9)^{27-26}= 0.1744$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X=25)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=25) = 27C25 (0.9)^{25} (1-0.9)^{27-25}= 0.2520$

Part c

We want this probability:

$P(X\geq 25)= P(X=25)+P(X=26)+P(X=27)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=25) = 27C25 (0.9)^{25} (1-0.9)^{27-25}= 0.2520$

$P(X=26) = 27C26 (0.9)^{26} (1-0.9)^{27-26}= 0.1744$

$P(X=27) = 27C27 (0.9)^{27} (1-0.9)^{27-27}= 0.0582$

And addind the values we got:

$P(X\geq 25)= P(X=25)+P(X=26)+P(X=27)=0.2520+0.1744+0.0582=0.4846$

Answer: f(y) x g(y) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2y^3-y^2+2y-1}{y^3-y^2+y-1}\cdot \frac{2y^2-3y+1}{4y^2-4y+1}\\\\= \frac{4y^5-8y^4+9y^3-9y^2+5y-1}{4y^5-8y^4+9y^3-9y^2+5y-1} \\\\= \frac{(y-1)(2y-1)(2y-1)(y^2+1)}{(y-1)(2y-1)(2y-1)(y^2+1)} \\\\= 1$
