4 0

Answer:

0.15651

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be approximated using a Poisson distribution formula.

The Poisson distribution formula is given by

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!

P(X ≤ x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to x)

where λ = mean of distribution = 20 red bags of skittles (20% of 100 bags of skittles means 20 red bags of skittles)

x = variable whose probability is required = less than 16 red bags of skittles

P(X < x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to (x-1))

P(X < 16) = Σ (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x! (Summation From x=0 to x=15)

P(X < 16) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) +......+ P(X=15)

Solving this,

P(X < 16) = 0.15651

Logan is making bookmarks that contain flower petals. He has 95 petals. He uses 3 flower petals for each bookmark. What is the G
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: The GREATEST number of bookmarks that Logan can make = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: Total petals = 95

Number of petals required for each bookmark = 3

Number the number of bookmarks can be prepared from 95 petals = 95 ÷ (Petals required of each bookmark)

= 95÷3

=31\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ \approx31\text{    [Round to the nearest whole number.]}

i.e. The GREATEST number of bookmarks that Logan can make = 31.

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (4,3) and is perpendicular to the graph of the equation y=−13x+4.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

y = -13x + 55

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular formula : m1 × m2 = -1

y = -13x + 4

now we take the grafient of the equation which is 13 :

m × 13 = -1

m = -13

so now we hv a new gradient then we can find the equation use the formula y = mx + c :

m = -13 point = ( 4 , 3 )

sub them into the formula,

3 = -13 (4) + c

3 = -52 + c

3 + 52 = c

55 = c

c = 55

now we rewrite again the c and the m to become a complete equation : y = -13x + 55

I need hlep its do to day
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

x = -6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute -4 on the left side of the equation first, then distribute 2 on the right side of the equation to get:

16x - 4 - 4x = 2x - 14 - 2

combine 'like terms':

12x - 4 = 2x - 16

subtract '2x' from each side to get:

10x - 4 = -16

add 4 to each side to get:

10x = -12

x = -12/10 or x = -6/5

2. Draw the image of ∆RST under the dilation with scale factor ⅓ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆R’S’T’.
Alchen [17]
Since center of dilation is the origin, this is easy. Just divide all of the x and y coordinate values by 3. Place the new point on the graph, and draw the triangle.

R' = R(3,6)/3 = (3/3,6/3)=(1,2). So R'(1,2)
S' = S(-3,6)/3 = (-3/3,6/3)=(-1,2). So S'(-1,2)
T' = T(-6,-6)/3 = (-6/3,-6/3)=(-2,-2). So T'(-2,-2)

So you now know the location of the 3 new points. R' at (1,2), S' at (-1,2) and T' at (-2,-2). Simply draw those 3 points on your graph and connect the lines to make a new triangle.
