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

you are rolling a 10-sided die with sides numbered 1-10. you keep rolling the die until you roll a prime number and then stop. l
evablogger [386]

The formula for E(x) would be SUM[ X(n)P(n)] from n = 1 to n = infinity until we get the prime number

In the given problem, a 10-sided die with 1-10 numbers is rolled until we get a prime number

Prime numbers between 1-10 = 2,3,5,7 (4 prime numbers)

Non - prime numbers = 1,4,6,8,9,10( 6 non-prime number)

Let X be the number of times the die is rolled

The probability of getting a prime =

P(Prime) = \frac{4}{10}

Now, the value of

E(X)=∑x.P(x) [ x-> {1, infinity}]

= P(1)X(1) +P(2)X(2)+P(3)X(3)+P(4)X(4)........+ P(n)X(n)

= 1.\frac{4}{10} + 2. \frac{6}{10}.\frac{4}{10} + 3.\frac{6}{10}.\frac{6}{10}\frac{4}{10} + 4. \frac{6}{10}.\frac{6}{10}.\frac{6}{10}.\frac{4}{10}.......

Hence, this is the value of E(x)
