n > -6 is the inequality for 16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given statement is:

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

We have to write a inequality

From given statement,

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

Let the number be "n"

Therefore,

16 plus 5 times "n" is more than "n" minus 8

Here, "plus" means addition and "minus" means subtraction and "times" means multiplication

Thus the statement is translated into inequality as:

16 + 5n >n-8

Simplify the inequality

16 + 5n >n-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}16\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\16 + 5n -16 > n - 8 -16\\\\5n >n-24\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}n\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\5n-n>n-24-n\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\4n>-24\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\\\\frac{4n}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}\\\\n>-6

Thus the soultion is n > -6

A baseball player has a batting average of 0.25. What is the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at bats
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is 0.3115.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a baseball player has a batting average of 0.25 and we have to find the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats.

Let X = <u><em>Number of hits made by a baseball player</em></u>

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r}; x = 0,1,2,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 7 at-bats

            r = number of success = exactly 2 hits

            p = probability of success which in our question is batting average

                   of a baseball player, i.e; p = 0.25

SO, X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.25)

Now, the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is given by = P(X = 2)

          P(X = 2) =  \binom{7}{2}\times 0.25^{2} \times (1-0.25)^{7-2}

                        =  21 \times 0.25^{2} \times 0.75^{5}

                        =  <u>0.3115</u>

The amount of money that Li spends on a video game depends on how many game he purchases. if Li has at most $90 to spend on game
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Hence Domain set for function is {0,1,2,3,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount spend =90

22.5 $ each game cost

To Find:

What is domain for the function

Solution:

Now domain mean all possible value for input so that it gives real output as per condition mentioned

So Our condition is that li spends money on video game depends on how many game he purchases

so  total money  spent on game is output

i.e in order to get that much amount of games.

If he spends 22.5 $ for each game and Total amount spent is 90

So 90/22.5=4 Now amount of game he would purchase will be 4

i.e range for lil is 0 to 4 wiht 90 $ in hand

So Domain set will be ranging from{0,1,2,3,4}
