Answer:

14,800 people are expected to attend the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the expected number of people that will attend a concert on a particular day.

The key to answering this question is to multiply the individual probabilities of the two events by the expected number of people

Mathematically, what we obtain is the following;

The expected number of people at the concert = (probability of raining × expected number of people when it rains) + (probability of not raining × Expected number of people when it does not rain)

From the question, we identify that;

Probability of raining = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Probability of not raining = 1-probability of raining = 1-0.3 = 0.7

Expected number of people when it rains = 5,000

Expected number of people when there is no rain = 19,000

we plus these vales into the equation we have;

The expected number of people at the concert =( 0.3 × 5,000) + (0.7 × 19,000) = 1,500 + 13,300 = 14,800 people

The equation x²– 8x – 5 = 0 can be transformed into the equation (x - p)² = q, where p and q are real numbers. What are the valu
Juliette [100K]

The form (x - p)^2 = q is the form that completing the square will leave us with.

---Add 5 to both sides

x^2 - 8x = 5

---Divide the b term by 2, and square it. Then, add that number to both sides.

-8/2 = -4

(-4)^2 = 16

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 5 + 16

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 21

---Factor!

(x - 4)^2 = 21

p = 4

q = 21

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

10x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to multiply 3 into the parenthesis because you have to use distributive property.

Once you do that you get 3x+9+7x.

Combine like terms.

algol13
Jenny's algebraic expression:

y = 33d

where y is the total number of posts

total tweets in 5 days

y = (33)(5)

y = 165 tweets

Antonio's expression:

y = 5d

total tweets in 5 days

y = (5)(5)

y = 25 tweets

Altogether they have posted:

165 + 25 tweets = 190 tweets in five days
