<u>Answer:</u>

x = -4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:

Fourteen more than three times a number is 2​.

1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14

2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)

3. is 2 ---> = 2

So combining these, we get:

3x + 14 = 2

Solving this to get:

3x = 2 - 14

3x = -12

x = -12/3

x = -4

notka56 [123]

Answer:

3 gulps

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, f(x) = 3. Plug this into the equation:

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Prob = 0.00009 = 0.009%  , Less Likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Binomial Distribution, Prob = N c r . ( P )^ r . ( Q ) ^ (n -r)   .

,P = success probability, ie candidate considered be trustworthy = 70% = 0.7; N = trials = 200 ; Q = failure probability, ie non trustworthy = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3  r = no. of success = 116

Pr = 200c116 . (0.7)^116 . (0.3)^(200 - 116) = 200c116 (0.7)^116 (0.3)^84 = 0.00009 = 0.009%

Less probability means Less Likely
