Answer: The number of books on the top shelf is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A  bookcase has two shelves.

The number of books in the bottom shelf = 12

According to the question,

The number of books on the top self = (\dfrac{1}{3})\times (\text{Number of books on the bottom shelf})+10

=\dfrac{1}{3}\times12+10\\\\=4+10\\\\=14

Hence, the number of books on the top shelf is 14.

Consider a series system composed of 4 separate components where each component has a 30% chance of failing. Assume each compone
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

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.

Probability of each system working:

4 components, which means that n = 4

Each has a 30% probability of failing, so p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

For the system to work, all 4 components have to work. This is P(X = 4).

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

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.2401

0.2401 probability of a system working.

If you have 7 of these systems, what is the probability that exactly 3 of them would function?

Now 7 systems, so n = 7

0.2401 probability of a system working.

We have to find P(X = 3).

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

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.2401)^{3}.(0.7599)^{4} = 0.1615

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

Find the parabola through
Anni [7]

Answer:

y = - 3x² - 24x - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (- 4, - 12 ), thus

y = a(x + 4)² - 12

To calculate a substitute (- 7, - 39) into the equation

- 39 = a(- 7 + 4)² - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

- 27 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

- 3 = a

y = - 3(x + 4)² - 12 ← in vertex form

Expand (x + 4)²

y = - 3(x² + 8x + 16) - 12

   = - 3x² - 24x - 48 - 12

y = - 3x² - 24x - 60 ← in standard form

   = - 3(x²

Which of the following describes the growth rate of the exponential function in the graph below?
motikmotik
The common form of exponential function is y = xᵃ where x is the variable and a is raised to a specific number. From this, the graph would on the value of a. An example would be when there are 70000 bacteria present in a culture and reduced by half every four hours, the number of bacteria will decrease. The bacteria will experience an exponential decay because it decreases its number at a constant decay.
