of the project) in applying for a building permit. Let Y=the number of forms required of the next applicant. The probability that y forms are required is know to be proportional to y, that is, p(y)=ky for y=1,...,5.
(a) What is the value of k?
(b) What is the probability that at most three forms are required?
(c) What is the probabilty that between two and four forms (inclusive) are required?
(d) Could p(y)=y^2/50 for y=1,...,5 be the pmf of Y?

5x-7=2x+8 solve for x
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5
