Let's write down what you said:

you double a number
2x

and then add 20,


2x+20

 you get 4/7 of the original number.

2x+20=4/7x.

we can get rid of the fractionby multiplying everything by 7:

14x+140=4x

and subtract 4x from both sides:

10x+140=0

move 120 to the other side:

10x=-140

and divide by 10

x=-14

and that's the answer!

Sav [38]

Answer:

0.0006087 (4 sf)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution:  X ~ B(n, p)

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success

Let the random variable X be the number of people with brown eyes

n = 14

p = 40% = 0.4

Therefore,  X ~ B(14, 0.4)

P(X ≥ 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 11)

              = 1 - 0.9993913226...

              = 0.000608677...
