h = prob of hardcover = .25

p = prob of paperback = .75

a.

Prob(2 hardcover of 10) = (10 choose 2) (.25)^2 (.75)^8

= ( 10(9)/2 ) (1/4^10) (1^2 3^8)

= 295245/1048576

≈ 28.15%

b.

I think I just did the binomial distribution.  We can approximate it as a normal distribution. The mean and variance in this case are computed thus:

N=10, n=2

μ = Np = 2.5

σ² = Npq = 1.875

σ = 1.3693

P(n) = 1/(σ√2π)e^-(n-μ)/(2σ²)

P(2) = 1/(1.3693√2π)e^-(2 - 2.5)/(2 (1.875))

P(2) = 33.3%

Pretty good, not great.

A map has a scale of 1 centimeter = 40 kilometer. If the distance between Fort Worth and El Paso is 21.7 cm on a map , how many
ryzh [129]
Aloha!
 1 centimeter= 40 kilometers
The distance between the cities in centimeters is 21.7
 To get the answer into kilometers, you multiply.
So, 21.7 times 40 which is 868 kilometers.  
 To answer your question, the distance between Fort Worth and El Paso is 868 kilometers.
 I hope this helps!

(7x-y=7<br>(x+2y=6 estimate the solution to the system of equations ​
jolli1 [7]

Multiply the first equation by 2 to then use elimination by adding the 2 equations.

So, 14x-2y=14

+. x+2y=6

Equals 15x=20 so x=20/15=4/3

Plug in to first equation to get y

7(4/3)-y=7

28/3-y=7

28/3-y=21/3

So y=7/3

Plug both x and y into second equation to check

4/3+2(7/3)=

4/3+14/3=18/3=6 it works

So x=4/3, y=7/3

Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
