Answer:

a) P(X=41)= 0.0086 = 0.86%

b) P(36≤X≤38)== 0.1215 = 12.15%

c) would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared because P(X≤20) = 0.000081 =0.0081%

Step-by-step explanation:

if the random variable X= number of cleared murders , then X follows a binomial distribution:

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!]*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where P(X=x)= probability of x cleared murders, n= number of murders selected=50 , p= probability for a murder to be cleared (67%)

therefore

a) P(X=41)=50!/[(50-41)!*41!]*0.67^41*0.33^(50-41)= 0.0086

b) P(36≤X≤38)= P(X≤38) - P(X≤36) = 0.9371- 0.8156 = 0.1215

c) P(X≤20) = 0.000081

therefore would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared

Find dy/dx. if y = 8u - 6 and u = 3x - 8.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Use the chain rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}

We have

y=8u-6\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}=8

u=3x-8\implies\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=3

so we get

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=8\cdot3=\boxed{24}

Alternatively, you can substitute <em>u</em> in the definition of <em>y</em> and differentiate with respect to <em>x</em> :

y=8u-6=8(3x-8)=24x-64\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=24

Annabelle read 10 books in 2 months. What was her rate of reading, in books per month?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

5 books per month

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find a rate.

To find books per month, we would take the number of books and divide it by the number of months.

This would give us 10 books/2 months.

10/2 simplifies to 5.

Therefore the answer would be 5 books per month.

What is the axis of symmetry of h(x)= 5x^2+40x+ 64?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Axis of symmetry is  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)= 5x^2+40x+ 64

Use the formula for axis of symmetry:   x = -b/(2a)

Here,  a = 5,  b = 40,  c = 64

so

x = -40/(2*5) = -40/10 = -4

Axis of symmetry is  x = -4
