Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello $!$

I think the "6b2" part is confusing you. Remember if the digits are next to each other, it represents multiplication.

The simplified expression with b = 3:

6 × 3 × 2 - 5

Now, we apply PEMDAS:

36 - 5

That gives:

31.

Thus, the final value of the expression is $\boxed{\boxed{31}}$ .

Hope this helps!

The answer should be 31, if I’m doing this correctly.
6(3)2-5 (multiply 6 and 3, you get 18)
18(2)-5 (multiply 18 and 2, you get 36)
36-5 (subtract 36 and 5)
31

Linear function :The characteristic property of linear functions is that when the input variable is changed, the change in the output is proportional to the change in the input. Linear functions are related to linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

The walking distance that is saved by cutting across the lot is

dezoksy [38]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 6.9 per year. a. Find t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) 9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b) 4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.

c) The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

6.9 per year.

This means that $\mu = 6.9$

a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

This is P(X = 4).

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-6.9}*(6.9)^{4}}{(4)!}$

$P(X = 4) = 0.0952$

9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?

For each year, the probability is 0.0952.

Multiplying by 45

45*0.0952 = 4.284.

4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?

The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.

A bowl contains equal-sized gumdrops. If the bowl has 30 green gumdrops and 1 blue gumdrop, plot an X on the number line below w

Andrej [43]

Answer:

≈ 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of green gum drops = 30

Number of Blue gum drops = 1

Total number of gum drops :

(Number of blue + number of green gum drops)

(30 + 1) = 31

Probability = Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(green gum drops) = number of green drops / total number of gum drops

P(green gum drops) = 30 / 31 = 0.967 ≈ 0.97
