Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+8) = 40 (By PEDMAS, distribute parentheses first)

3x (2) + 8(2) = 40 (next do multiply)

6x + 16 = 40 (subtract 16 from both sides)

6x = 40 - 16

6x = 24 (divide both sides by 6)

x = 24/6 = 4

6x+16=40
40-16=24
24=6x
X=4

A factory employs several thousand workers, of whom 35% are Hispanic. If the 17 members of the union executive committee were ch

Elza [17]

Answer:

as p decreases, sigma decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 35%are hispanic. For a sample of 17 members

n = 17

p = 0.35

and the number of Hispanics on the committee would have the binomial distribution

a) Mean of X = E(x) = $np = 17(0.35)\\= 5.95$

b) Std dev X = $\sqrt{npq} =\sqrt{5.95(0.65)} \\=1.9665$

c) Here n =17 and p =0.1

$Mean = 1.7\\\sigma = \sqrt{17(0.1)(0.9)} =1.234$

d) When p = 0.01

$Mean = 0.17\\\sigma = 0.410$

Thus we find that as p decreases, sigma decreases.
