Rearrange x/4-(-5)=0

Simplify x/4

-5 = -5/1 = -5*4/4

x- (-5*4)/4 = x+20/4

x+ 20/4 = 0

x+20/4 * 4 = 0*4

The equation now takes the shape: x+20=0

subtract 20 from both sides of the equation: x=-20

Answer: x=-20

sergejj [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hint : we will check for each option whether it is an experiment or not by using the concepts of probability first we will check then if a coin is tossed then it is an experiment or not ? then we will check that if a dice is rolled is it an experiment or not and then we will repeat the same process for choosing a marble from a jar

complete step by step answer and event is a set of outcomes of an experiment to which probability is assigned as take an example when we and I the possibility of 5 appearing on the die is an event if for tossing a coin we do not know the result when a coin is tossed in can give any result whether it will be a head or tails so this is an example for a random experiment if a six-sided dice will be rolled then we do not know what is about to come there result can be anything from 126 so it is also an example for random experiment choosing a marble from a jar is also an experiment because we are choosing one marble from the jar and experiment is a work in which a result can be anything hence option d is the correct option not probability is how likely something is about to happen when a coin is tossed there are two possibility outcomes heads or tails show the probability of an outcome 1

( number of ways it can happen )÷

( total number of outcomes)

so when a coin is tossed the total number of outcomes are to solve the probability of a current head is 1/2

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that $N = 17$

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that $k = 4$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)$

In which

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412$

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588$

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed
