If 18 is 45 percent of a value, what is the value?

2 answers:

4 0

8 is 45% of a number
18 is 45% of x
18 = 45% of x
18 = 0.45 * x

Now, to isolate x, you divide both sides of the equation by 0.45.

18 / 0.45 = 0.45*x /0.45
x = 40

So, 18 is 45% of 40. Hope this helps! :)

18=45% of a value
divide both sides by 9
2=5% of a value
times 20 both sides
40=100% of a value
de value is 40

Use the properties of operations to determine if each pair of expressions is equivalent

SIZIF [17.4K]

Using the properties of operations the given pair of expressions are not equivalent

Solution:

Given that, we have to use the properties of operations to determine if each pair of expressions is equivalent

And the two expressions are:

$\frac{1}{2}(4-2 x) \text { and } 2-2 x$

Now, we know that, there are four (4) basic properties of operations:

Commutative, Associative, Distributive and Identity. These properties only apply to the operations of addition and multiplication.

So, if we observe we can apply distributive property on 1st expression

The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum.

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{2}(4-2 x) \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}(2 x)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2-x}\end{array}$

Here the resulting expression is 2 – x and it is not equivalent to 2 – 2x

Hence, the given two expressions are not equal.

The number of failures of a testing instrument from contamination particles on the product is a Poisson random variable with a m

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mean of failures = 0.025 per hour.

Then for 8 hours , the mean of failures = $\lambda=8\times0.25=2$ per eight hours.

Let X be the number of failures.

The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

$P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$

Now, the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift :-

$P(X=0)=\dfrac{e^{-2}2^0}{0!}=0.1353352\approx0.1353$

Hence, the the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift = 0.1353
