Answer:
x = 0.19 or x = -0.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 7²-4x = 2
reordering the equation,
7x²-4x-2 = 0
Applying,
x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a..................... Equation 1
From the question,
Given: a = 7, b = -4, c = -2
Substitute these values into equation 1
x = [-4±√(-4²-(2×7×-2)]/(2×7)
x = [-4±√(16+28)]/14
x = (-4±√44)/14
Either
x = (-4+√44)/14
x = (-4+6.63)/14
x = 2.63/14
x = 0.19
or
x = (-4-√44)/14
x = (-4-6.63)/14
x = -10.63/14
x = -0.76
To find the number of girls signed up for camp, we just subtract the number of boys from to total number of children. There are 132 boys and 219 children, which gives us
219 - 132 = 87 girls. To find how many boys there are than girls, we just find the difference between the 132 boys and 87 girls by subtracting again:
132 - 87 = 45 more girls than boys.
You only need to consider the situations where 10 or 11 of the babies are girls, then subtract those probabilities from 1. This will give probability that any other number up to 9 of the babies are girls.
Use binomial theorem.
n = 11
k = 10,11
p = 1/2
from least to greatest: 0.85, 8/9 (0.88 as a decimal), 0.93
