4x = 8x − 1 x = three fourths x = 1 x = 3 x = 6

Isolate the variable by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -4x = -1. multiply both sides by -1 to get 4x = 1. divide both sides by 4 to get x = 1/4.

Naval intelligence reports that 99 enemy vessels in a fleet of 1818 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 99 vessels are randomly tar

oee [108]

Answer:

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed and then not replaced, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 18 means that $N = 18$

9 are carrying nuclear weapons, which means that $k = 9$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,0}*C_{9,9}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.000021$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,1}*C_{9,8}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.001666$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.000021 + 0.001666 = 0.001687$

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Can a Scalene triangle be a isosceles triangle?<br><br> A: Always<br> B: Never<br> C: Sometimes

arsen [322]

A scalene triangle can never be an isosceles triangle. How? Well, let's take a look at the definition of a scalene triangle. In short, a scalene triangle is a classification of a triangle that does not have any congruent sides. On the other hand, an isosceles triangle is a triangle in which its legs are both congruent. Therefore, if a scalene triangle has two congruent legs, it wouldn't even be a scalene triangle, but instead it would be an isosceles triangle. Hope this helped!
