The highest common factor is 25

so factorising: 50x - 72 = 25( 2x - 3)

hope that helps:)

Answer:

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

A couple book a cruise to Alaska that promises to refund 100 per day of rain on the seven day cruise up to a maximum of 300.

It is possible that the couple won't be able to refund up 100 per day or more than 100 per day.

SO; let assume that the refund payment happens to be 0, 100,200, 300

Let X be the total refund payment on the seven day cruise.

We can say X = 0, if there is no rain on all 7 days.

$P(X = 0) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 0) = _7C_o * 0.2^0 * (1-0.2)^{7-0$

$P(X = 0) =1 * 1* (1-0.2)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =(0.8)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =0.2097152$

If it rains on any one day; then X = 100

$P(X = 100) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 100) = _7C_1 * 0.2^1 * (1-0.2)^{7-1$

$P(X = 0) =7 * 0.2* (1-0.2)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =7* 0.2* (0.8)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =0.3670016$

if it rains on any two day ; then X = 200

$P(X = 200) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 200) = _7C_2 * 0.2^2 * (1-0.2)^{7-2$

$P(X = 200) = 21 * 0.2^2 * (0.8)^{5$

$P(X = 200) = 0.2752512$

if it rains on any three day or more than that ; then X = 300

$P(X \ge 300) = 1 - P(X < 300) \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 100) + P(X = 200)] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [0.2097152 + 0.3670016 + 0.2752512] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 0.148032$

Now; we have our probability distribution function as:

P(X = 0) = 0.2097152

P(X = 100) = 0.3670016

P(X = 200) = 0.2752512

P(X = 300) = 0.148032

In order to determine the variance of the refund payment to the couple; we use the formula:

variance of the refund payment to the couple $[Var X] =E [X^2] - (E [X])^2$

where;

$E[X^2] = \sum x^2 \times p \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0^2 * 0.2097152 + 100^2 * 0.3670016 + 200^2 * 0.2752512 + 300^2 * 0.148032 \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0 + 3670.016 + 11010.048+ 13322.88 \\ \\ E[X^2] =28002.944$

$(E [X]) = \sum x * p\\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 * 0.2097152 + 100 * 0.3670016 + 200 * 0.2752512 + 300 * 0.148032 \\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 + 36.70016 + 55.05024 + 44.4096\\ \\ (E [X]) = 136.16 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 136.16^2 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 18539.55$

NOW;

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 28002.944 - 18539.55

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6. Either enter an exact answer in terms of pi or use 3.14 for pi

ankoles [38]

So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped

7t=x,for t .what is the formula

Andrei [34K]

The formula for t would be x/7.

In order to find this, we simply follow the order of operations to solve for t.

7t = x ----> Divide both sides by 7

t = x/7
