n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers

the sum of two consecutive even integers is greater than or equal to 34

n + (n + 2) ≥ 34

n + n + 2 ≥ 34

2n + 2 ≥ 34 <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

2n ≥ 32 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

n ≥ 16

<h3>Answer: The smallest possible integers is equal 16.</h3>

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

Marta_Voda [28]

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:

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

(3ab+2c)^3 what is the answer

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$=27a^3b^3+54a^2b^2c+36abc^2+8c^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(3ab+2c)^3$

$=(3ab+2c)$ × $(3ab+2c)$ ×

$=(3ab+2c)(9a^2b^2+12abc+4c^2)$

$=(3ab)(9a^2b^2)+(3ab)(12abc)+(3ab)(4c^2)+(2c)(9a^2b^2)+(2c)(12abc)+(2c)(4c^2)$

$=27a^3b^3+36a^2b^2c+12abc^2+18a^2b^2c+24abc^2+8c^3$

$=27a^3b^3+54a^2b^2c+36abc^2+8c^3$

Vincent and Jean are two cooks who work in a village. Each of them can either bake cakes or make pizzas. Every ingredient is rea

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Jean b) Jean c) Vincent d) Jean

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Vincent can bake 10 cakes or make 5 pizzas

Jean can bake 12 cake or make 8 pizzas.

a) Absolute advantage of baking cake

Jean has the absolute advantage of baking cake as he can bake more cakes as compared to Vincent.

b) Absolute advantage of making pizza

Jean has the absolute advantage of making pizza as he can make more pizzas as compared to Vincent.

In order to find comparative advantage, we find the opportunity cost which can be defined as:

$\text{Opportunity Cost} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{What one sacrifices}}{\text{What one gains}}$

c) Comparative advantage in baking cakes

Opportunity cost of Vincent for baking cakes = $\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$

Opportunity cost of Jean for baking cakes = $\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Vincent has comparative advantage in baking cakes.

d) Comparative advantage in making pizzas

Opportunity cost of Vincent for making pizzas = $\frac{10}{5} = 2$

Opportunity cost of Jean for making pizzas = $\frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Jean has comparative advantage in making pizzas.
