There are 2 ways to do this

---------------------------------------------------

Method 1) Divide both sides by 25, then add 2 to both sides

25(M-2) = 650

M-2 = 650/25

M-2 = 26

M = 26+2

M = 28

---------------------------------------------------

Method 2) Distribute the 25 through to each term inside the parenthesis. Then isolate for M by adding 50 to both sides, and then dividing both sides by 2.

25(M-2) = 650

25M - 50 = 650

25M = 650+50

25M = 700

M = 700/25

M = 28

---------------------------------------------------

<h3>Either way the answer is 28</h3>

Geologist has collected 10 specimens of basaltic rock and 10th specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assist

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$p(5)=0.00136$

(a) $p(x)=\frac{(10Cx)*((10)C(15-x))}{20C10}$

(b) $p(10)+p(5)=0.00272$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have N elements with k elements that we consider success and N-k elements that we consider fail, and we take a sample of n elements, the probability that there are x successes in the sample follows a hypergeometric distribution, so it is calculated as:

$p(x)=\frac{(kCx)*((N-k)C(n-x))}{NCn}$

In this case, N is equal to 20, k is equal to 10 specimens of granite rock, N-k is equal to 10 specimens of basaltic rock and n is 15. So, the probability that there are x specimens of granite rock in the sample or the pmf of the number of granite specimens selected for analysis is:

$p(x)=\frac{(10Cx)*((10)C(15-x))}{20C10}$

Now, the probability of getting exactly 5 granite specimens selected for analysis is:

$p(5)=\frac{(10C5)*((10)C(15-5))}{20C10}=0.00136$

On the other hand, the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis is the probability to select 10 granite specimens or 10 basaltic specimens. Where the probability to take 10 basaltic specimens is equal to the probability to take 5 granite specimens.

Then, the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis is:

$p(10)+p(5)=\frac{(10C10)*((10)C(15-10))}{20C10}+\frac{(10C5)*((10)C(15-5))}{20C10}\\p(10)+p(5)=0.00136+0.00136=0.00272$

For the hypergeometric distribution, the mean E(x) and standard deviation S(x) are:

$E(x)=\frac{nk}{N}=\frac{15*10}{20}=7.5\\S(x)=\sqrt{\frac{nk}{N}*(1-\frac{k}{N})*(\frac{N-n}{N-1})}\\S(x)=\sqrt{\frac{15*10}{20}*(1-\frac{10}{20})*(\frac{20-15}{20-1})}=0.9934$

Then, the number of granite specimens within 1 standard deviation of its mean value is:

E(x) - S(x) ≤ mean ≤ E(x) + S(x)

7.5-0.9934 ≤ mean ≤ 7.5+0.9934

6.5066 ≤ mean ≤ 8.4934

7 ≤ mean ≤ 8

Finally, the probability that the number of granite specimens selected for analysis is within 1 standard deviation of its mean value is:

$p(7)+p(8)=\frac{(10C7)*((10)C(15-7))}{20C10}+\frac{(10C8)*((10)C(15-8))}{20C10}\\p(10)+p(5)=0.0292+0.0292=0.0584$

Reed made a lasagna for dinner. That night, he ate1/4

Snezhnost [94]

Answer: 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the LCM of 4 and 3(12). Then make the denominator of both fractions 12(3/12 and 8/12). Then add the fractions to get that they ate 11/2 of the lasagna.

Polygon F has an area of 36 square units. Aimar drew a scaled version of Polygon F and labeled it Polygon G. Polygon G has an ar

mariarad [96]

Area is a squared number. We know that from the label we use when we solve problems involving area. Perimeter is a single unit label. This single unit label can also be used to find scale factor, since single unit labels are one-to-one. If the area of polygon F is 36, that means that the single unit measure was a number that was squared to get to the area. Same goes for polygon G. That means that in order to find the single unit measure of each of those we have to take the square root of the area. The square root of 36 is 6, and the square root of 4 is 2. 6:2 is the scale factor, but that can be reduced to 3:1, larger to smaller.
