Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We distribute the negative 5 to x minus three to get 8x-5x+15=18. Then, we cancel out the 15 by subtracting it from both sides. This leaves us with 8x-5x=3. When we subtract, we get 3x=3, and when we divide both sides by 3, we get x=1. Hope this helps :)

Anit [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 US dollar = L123 Honduran Lempiras

L2300Honduran Lempiras = x ( Let $ be x)

By using chain rule, we get

5×2300 = 123×x

or, 11500 = 123x

or, x = 11500÷123

hence, x = 93.49593496

A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval o

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers is a(n) __uniform__________ distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers

Since the pdf is rectangular in shape and total probability is one we can say all values in the interval would be equally likely

Say if the interval is (a,b) P(X) = p the same for all places

Since total probability is 1,

we get integral of P(X)=p(b-a) =1

Or p= $\frac{1}{b-a}$

this is nothing but a uniform distribution continuous defined in the interval
