Let x be Jake's number of sold tickets. Sara's number is half as Jake's, so x/2 while, Cole's number is twice as Jake's, 2x. The equation that represents the problem is just the summation of their sold tickets. Therefore, 538= x+ x/2 + 2x, further simplifying the equation, it becomes, 538= 7/2 x. Solving for Jake's number of tickets, Sara and Cole's number of tickets can be determined.

Suppose you pick two cards from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that they are both queens?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes

The combinations formula is important in this problem:

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)!}

Desired outcomes

You want 2 queens. Four cards are queens. I am going to call then A,B,C,D. A and B is the same outcome as B and A. That is, the order is not important, so this is why we use the combinations formula.

The number of desired outcomes is a combinations of 2 cards from a set of 4(queens). So

D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6

Total outcomes

Combinations of 2 from a set of 52(number of playing cards). So

T = C_{52,2} = \frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!} = 1326

What is the probability that they are both queens?

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{1326} = 0.0045

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

k = 13The smallest zero or root is x = -10

===============================

Steps:

note: you can write "x^2" to mean "x squared"

f(x) = x^2+3x-10

f(x+5) = (x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10 ... replace every x with x+5

f(x+5) = (x^2+10x+25)+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5) = x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5) = x^2+13x+30

Compare this with x^2+kx+30 and we see that k = 13

Factor and solve the equation below

x^2+13x+30 = 0

(x+10)(x+3) = 0

x+1 = 0 or x+3 = 0

x = -10 or x = -3

The smallest zero is x = -10 as its the left-most value on a number line.

A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval o
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers is a(n) __uniform__________ distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a  continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers

Since the pdf is rectangular in shape and total probability is one we can say all values in the interval would be equally likely

Say if the interval is (a,b) P(X) = p the same for all places

Since total probability is 1,

we get integral of P(X)=p(b-a) =1

Or p= \frac{1}{b-a}

this is nothing but a uniform distribution continuous defined in the interval

A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers is a(n) __uniform__________ distribution
