How can you solve an equation or inequality in one variable?

1 answer:

4 0

In order to solve an equation for a variable, we need to isolate that variable on one side of the equation (either left side or right side).

Following are some steps to solve equation/inequality in one variable:

1) Get rid constant number from on side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.

2) Get rid variable terms from other side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.

3) Combine like terms on both sides.

4) Get rid any coefficent ( a number in front of a variable) by dividing from both sides.

5) Finally you get a variable on one side and solution on other side.

It takes her (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) = 2 h to get to her destination. She has 1 h 40 min = 100 min for her 100 mi return trip.
.. (100 mi)/(100 min) = (60 mi)/(60 min) = 60 mi/h

She must return at the rate of 60 mph to complete the trip in 3 h 40 min.

A recent survey by the New Statesman on British social attitudes asked respondents if they believe that inequality is too large.

Reika [66]

Answer:

(a) The probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large is 0.0375.

(b) The probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large is 0.9944.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of British citizens who believe that inequality is too large.

The proportion of respondents who believe that inequality is too large is, p = 0.74.

Thus, the random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p = 0.74.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}\ 0.74^{x}(1-0.74)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...n$

(a)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large as follows:

$P(X=2)={6\choose 2}\ 0.74^{2}(1-0.74)^{6-2}\\=15\times 0.5476\times 0.00456976\\=0.03753600864\\\approx 0.0375$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large is 0.0375.

(b)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-[{6\choose 0}\ 0.74^{0}(1-0.74)^{6-0}]-[{6\choose 1}\ 0.74^{1}(1-0.74)^{6-1}]\\\\=1-[1\times 1\times 0.000308915776]-[6\times 0.74\times 0.0011881376]\\\\=1-0.00031-0.0053\\\\=0.99439\\\\\approx 0.9944$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large is 0.9944.

(c)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of four British citizens none believe inequality is too large as follows:

$P(X=0)={4\choose 0}\ 0.74^{0}(1-0.74)^{4-0}\\=1\times 1\times 0.00456976\\=0.00456976\\\approx 0.0046$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of four British citizens none believe inequality is too large is 0.0046.
