Answer:

the equation is (n/3) - 2 = 17

the number is 57

Step-by-step explanation:

the parenthesis are just there to make sure you know that the denominator is not 3-2, the whole fraction/division problem is subtracted by two.

hope this helped a little bit :))

The dean of the School of Fine Arts is trying to decide whether to purchase a copy machine to place in the lobby of the building
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$34,816.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the maximum amount of cash should willing to pay for the copy machine by using the present value is shown below:

Present value is

= Incremental\ cash\ flows \times PVIFA\ factor

where,

Incremental cash flows is $14,000 per year

Discount rate is 10%

And, the number of years is three years

PVIFA factor for 10% at 3 years is 2.4869

Refer to the PVIFA factor table

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the present value is

= \$14,000 \times 2.4869

= $34,816.60

David's chance of making a free throw is 80%. In a game, he takes 10 free throws. What is the probability he makes 8 or fewer fr
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

P(X\leq 8)= 1- P(X>8) = 1-P(X\geq 9)= 1-[P(X=9)+P(X=10)]

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.8)^{9} (1-0.8)^{10-9}

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10}

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 8)=1-[10(0.8)^1 (1-0.8)^{1} + (0.8)^{10}]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

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!}  

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: P(A)+P(A') =1

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\leq 8)

And for this case we can use the comlement rule and we got:

P(X\leq 8)= 1- P(X>8) = 1-P(X\geq 9)= 1-[P(X=9)+P(X=10)]

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9}

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10}

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 8)=1-[10(0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{1} + (0.8)^{10}]

The measure of angle  <em>x </em> is 31 degrees.

See the attached drawing.

Start at the bottom, at the given 59° angle, and work your way up in the direction toward the angle  <em>x </em>.
