To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in
lukranit [14]

Answer: \dfrac{26}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Sample size taken by customs official : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

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

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics =P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)

1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = \dfrac{26}{27}

What are the possible values of x if (4x - 5)2 = 49? Check all that apply.<br> uw we we
kogti [31]

Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(4x - 5)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

4x - 5 = ± \sqrt{49} = ± 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

4x = 5 ± 7, thus

4x = 5 - 7 = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

or

4x = 5 + 7 = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = - \frac{1}{2}

left side = (- 2 - 5)² = (- 7)² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution

x = 3

left side = (12 - 5)² = 7² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution
