Answer:

The mean number favoring the substation is 12 citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each citizen surveyed, there are only two possible outcomes. EIther they favored building a police substation in their neighborhood, or they opposed. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability, and X can only have two outcomes.

Has an expected value of:

E(X) = np

In this problem, we have that:

n = 15, p = 0.8

E(X) = 15*0.8 = 12.

The mean number favoring the substation is 12 citizens.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x=96°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the upper left angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find the first angle of the triangle by

180-130=50

For the bottom right angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find that angle by

180-134=46

As a triangle has 180 degrees, we can subtract the values of the other two angles to find the final upper right angle.

180-50-46=84

Lastly, The upper right angle and x are supplementary so we can find x by subtracting the angle from 180

180-84=x\\x=96

The answer is e, 3 3/4

if you add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4 (five times for the five batches), or did 3/4 * 5, you would get 15/4, which simplifies to 3.75, or 3 3/4
