The two numbers are -6 and 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that eight times a number plus five times another number is -13

The sum of two numbers is 1

To find: the two numbers

Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"

From given information,

Eight times a number plus five times another number = -13

eight times a number "a" + five times another number "b" = -13

8a + 5b = -13 ---- eqn 1

Also given that sum of two numbers is 1

sum of two numbers = 1

a + b = 1 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "b"</u></em>

From eqn 2,

a = 1 - b ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1

8(1 - b) + 5b = -13

8 - 8b + 5b = -13

8 - 3b = -13

-3b = -13 - 8

-3b = -21

Substitute b = 7 in eqn 3

a = 1 - 7

Thus the two numbers are -6 and 7

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

And for this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Answer:

M
90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment joining an original point with its rotated image forms a chord of the circle of rotation containing those two points. The center of the circle is the center of rotation.

This means you can find the center of rotation by considering the perpendicular bisectors of the segments joining points with their images. Here, the only proposed center that is anywhere near the perpendicular bisector of DE is point M.

Segment AD is perpendicular to corresponding segment FE, so the angle of rotation is 90°. (We don't know which way (CW or CCW) unless we make an assumption about which is the original figure.)
