Answer: Choice B)
2x+5(2x+3) = 3
============================================
Reasoning:
We start with the second equation 2x+5y = 3
Since y = 2x+3 from the first equation, we can replace every copy of y with (2x+3). This replacement is valid because y and 2x+3 are the same.
So that's how we go from 2x+5y = 3 to 2x+5(2x+3) = 3
This replacement is done to get rid of the y variable, and it allows us to solve for x later on.
Answer:
I think the question is wrong check ur question and I will answer
Using binomial distribution where success is the appearing of any of the top 10 most common names, thus probability of success (p) is 9.6% = 0.096 and the probability of failure = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904. Number of trials is 11.
Binomial distribution probability is given by P(x) = nCx (p)^x (q)^(n - x)
Probability that none of the top 10 most common names appears is P(0) = 11C0 (0.096)^0 (0.904)^(11 - 0) = (0.904)^11 = 0.3295
Thus, the probability that at least one of the 10 most common names appear is 1 - 0.3295 = 0.6705
Therefore, I will be supprised that none of the names of the authors were among the 10 most common names given that the probability that at least one of the names appear is 67%.
