Answer:

1 3/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/4 = 0.5

3/4 = 0.75

Now, for the numbers for this problem.

2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75

3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5

Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25

Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4

In a city with 40000 people, each person has a 0.00020 probability of committing a crime each hour. What is the probability that
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

2.86% probability that there are exactly 3 crimes during the next hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

In a city with 40000 people, each person has a 0.00020 probability of committing a crime each hour.

So \mu = 40000*0.0002 = 8

What is the probability that there are exactly 3 crimes during the next hour

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-8}*(8)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0286

2.86% probability that there are exactly 3 crimes during the next hour

I will mark you brainliest!!!! Which ordered pair is the best approximation of the solution?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute y = 2x + 1 in the second equation

2x + 1 = -7x + 8

Add 7x to both sides

9x + 1 = 8

Subtact 1 from both sides

9x = 7

x = 7/9

Substituing x in the first equation

y = 14/9 + 1

x rounds to 0.8

y rounds to 2.5

Given: The
AlekseyPX

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate for a using sine rule.

For angle A,

A + 27° + 82° = 180 ( sum of angles in a triangle).

A + 109 = 180

A = 180 - 109 = 71°

Therefore,

A = 71°

calculating for side a

\frac{sin \: 27}{12}  =   \frac{sin71}{a}  \\ a =  \frac{12 \times sin71}{sin27}  \\ a \:  =  \frac{11.346}{0.454}  \\ a = 25

Five consecutive multiples of 3 add up to 105. What is the second smallest number<br><br> 89 points!
Oliga [24]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the first number n. The next four numbers will be n + 3, n + 6, n + 9 and n + 12. Then, we have

n + n + 3 + n + 6 + n + 9 + n + 12 = 105

5n + 30 = 105

5n = 75

n = 15

The second smallest number is n + 3 which is 15 + 3 = 18.
