Y=x+1
y=-1/2x+4
y=y
x+1=-1/2x+4
1x+1/2x+1=4
3/2x=4-1
3/2x=3
x=3/(3/2)
x=2

x+1 = -1/2x+4

subtract x from both sides

1=-1 1/2x +4

subtract 4 from each side

-3 = - 1 1/2x

divide both sides by -1 1/2

x= 2

check the answer:

2+1 =3

-1/2(2) +4 = 3

so X = 2

cynthia invests some money in a bank which pays 5% compound interest per year. She wants it to be worth over £8000 at the end of

exis [7]

Answer:

The smallest amount is $\£6,911$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=3\ years\\ A=\£8,000\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$8,000=P(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*3}$

solve for P

$8,000=P(1.05)^{3}$

$P=8,000/(1.05)^{3}$

$P=\£6,910.70$

Round to the nearest pound she can invest

The smallest amount is $\£6,911$

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

b) $X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

c) $P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

d) $P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

e) $E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

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

Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part b

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part c

For this case we just need to replace into the mass function and we got:

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

Part d

For this case we want this probability: $P(X\geq 15)$

And we can solve this using the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

Part e

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$
