Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

There are 3 sides. All are equal to (4x - 3)

Their sum = 63

Formula

3(4x - 3) = 63

Solution

3(4x - 3) = 63 Divide by 3
12x - 9 = 63 Add 9 to both sides
12x = 63 + 9
12x = 72 Divide by 12
x = 72/12

x = 6 Answer

liraira [26]

Answer:

1) $\frac{2}{5}$

2) 49.225

3) $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the expected value of the dice we can use the following equation:

$E(x)=x_{1}*P(x_{1})+x_{2}*P(x_{2})+...+x_{n}*P(x_{n})$

So in our problem the values x will be: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 and 1/6 and the probavility for all values is 1/6 so the expected values will be: $E(x)=(\frac{1}{1} *\frac{1}{6}) +(\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{6}) +(\frac{1}{3} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{5} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{6} *\frac{1}{6})$

$E(x)=0.167+0.083+0.056+0.042+0.033+0.028=0.409\approx \frac{2}{5}$

2) To find the variance of the expected values we can use the equation:

$Var(x)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_{i}-\overline{x})^{2} }{n}$

So for our problem will be:

$Var(x)=\frac{(3-10.5)^2+(4-10.5)^2+(17-10.5)^2+(18-10.5)^2}{4}$

$Var(x)=\frac{56.25+42.25+42.25+56.25}{4}$ $Var(x)=\frac{196.9}{4}=49.225$

3) To find the expected value of the dice we can use the following equation:

$E(x)=x_{1}*P(x_{1})+x_{2}*P(x_{2})+...+x_{n}*P(x_{n})$

So in our problem the values x will be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the probavility for all values is 1/6 so the expected values will be: $E(x)=(1*\frac{1}{6}) +(2 *\frac{1}{6}) +(3 *\frac{1}{6})+(4 *\frac{1}{6})+(5 *\frac{1}{6})+(6 *\frac{1}{6})$

$E(x)=0.17+0.33+0.5+0.67+0.83+1=3.5\approx \frac{7}{2}$

there are 10 less trumpet players than saxophone players the number saxophone players is three times the number of trumpet playe

Oduvanchick [21]

T= trumpets

S= saxophones

T= s-10

S= 3t

Solve for t first in first equation by substituting the second equation into the first equation like this .

T=3t-10

T-3t=10

-2t=10

T=10/-2

T=5

Now substitute your t answer to second equation to find s .

S=3(5)

S=15

So you have 5 trumpets and 15 saxophones .

I hope this helps
