Answer:

a) X is a discrete random variable.

b) 2% probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms

c) 98% probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit

d) 30% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

e) 7% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution means that:

7% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 3 rooms.

23% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 4 rooms.

36% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 5 rooms.

19% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 6 rooms.

5% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 7 rooms.

5% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 8 rooms.

3% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 9 rooms.

?% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 10 rooms.

(a) Is X a discrete or continuous random variable?

X is the number of rooms in a randomly selected house. The number of rooms is a countable variable, that is, only assumes values like 1,2,3,4,... You cannot have 3.5 rooms, for example.

So X is a discrete random variable.

(b) What must be the probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms?

The sum of all probabilities must be 100%(1 decimal). So

0.07 + 0.23 + 0.36 + 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.03 + ? = 1

0.98 + ? = 1

? = 0.02

2% probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms

(c) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit?

0.07 + 0.23 + 0.36 + 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.03 = 0.98

98% probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit

(d) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms?

7% probability it has 3 rooms

23% probability it has 4 rooms. So

7+23 = 30% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

(e) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has three rooms?

7% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 3 rooms. So

7% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

Ella used 3 4 of a bag of lemons to make 1 2 liters of lemonade. If Ella's recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade, how many lemons wi
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<u>Answer:</u>

Ella will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Ella used ¾ of a bag of lemon to make ½ liters of lemonade

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

¾ bag lemons = ½ liter lemonade

According to question,

Ella recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade

Lemons required for ½ liter lemonade = \frac{3}{4} bag

Lemons required for 1 liter lemonade =\frac{3}{4}\times 2 = 3/2 bags

To make 4 times the recipe, she will require,

\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 3 \times 2 = 6

She will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
