-47 - 15y =-17.....Equation A

-x+ 5y=-13..........Equation B

Solve B for y.

-x + 5y = -13

5y = x - 13

y = (x - 13)/5

Plug y into A.

-47 -15y = -17

-47 -15(x - 13)/5 = -17

-47 -3(x - 13) = -17

-47 -3x + 39 = -17

-3x - 8 = -17

-3x = -17 + 8

-3x = -9

x = -9/-3

x = 3

Now that we know x is 3, plug 3 for x into EITHER Equation A or B (your choice) to find y.

I will let you do that.

Jerry's Seed Palace claims that 80% of its lima bean seeds will germinate. Suppose the company's claim is true. Callie buys a pa
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Bernoulli trial problem.

Since the probability that the seed will germinate is 80% or 0.8, the probability that they won’t germinate is 0.2

Now let’s say the probability to germinate is p and the probability not to is a, we can now set up the Bernoulli equation in this regard. Since we are proposing that exactly 14 will germinate, it means 6 are not expected to germinate

P(14) = 20C14 (0.8)^14 (0.2)^6 = 0.109099700973

Option A is the right answer

Which is the correct first line for dividing the function
Firlakuza [10]

Given function is f(x) = x³ -12x +16.

We can write it as x³ +0x² -12x +16.

We need to write the numbers in order from left to right, so it would be {1, 0, -12, 16}.

Given factor is x -2 = 0, that means x = 2. So we need to divide the numbers by 2.

So correct way to divide the function would be 2 L 1, 0, -12, 16.

Hence, option C is correct.

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

Y \sim P( \beta = 2)

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353  \times 1}{1}}

P(y =0) = 0.1353

From a pack of 9 cards numbered 1-9, three cards are drawn at random and laid on a table from left to right.
Andreas93 [3]
Answer: 1/6
Explanation: Since we need to draw three cards from a pack of 9 and the digits require an order, then our sample space becomes: 9P3.
Now, we don't care about picking an order when picking three cards to analyse, as there is only 1 way in arranging the three cards in descending order.

Thus, we get:

\frac{^{9}C_3}{^{9}P_3} = \frac{1}{6}
