Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244

How can I solve the radical equation
lubasha [3.4K]
I attached a picture, see if you can see what I'm doing. Basically, I start by squaring everything to get rid of the radical, but just remember at the end to always, always check your answers, because squaring your answers could get rid of some negative numbers that could result in imaginary answers. The answer I came up with was a=5,-2

3a(2a) + 3a(3x) - x(2a) - x(3x)
3a(2a + 3x) - x(2a + 3x)

Can you help me solve this equation?
dem82 [27]

Sure

Answer:

x = -2

If the steps aren't belong to the lesson that you want, just tell me the lesson title so I can get the answer for you !!!!

...

The steps

Multiply all terms by (x-3)(x+3) and cancel:

x(x+3)+2x(x−3)=18

3x2−3x=18(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x2−3x−18=18−18(Subtract 18 from both sides)

3x2−3x−18=0

3(x+2)(x−3)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+2=0 or x−3=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−2 or x=3

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=−2 (Works in original equation)

x=3 (Doesn't work in original equation)
