Subtract 5 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 6x - 1 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                            x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                            x = [ -6 ± √((6)^2 - 4(-2)(-1)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                            x = [-6 ± √(36 - (8) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                            x = [-6 ± √(28) ] / (-4)
                                            x = [-6 ± 2*sqrt(7) ] / (-4 )
                                            x =3/2 ± -sqrt(7)/ 2
The answers are 3/2 + sqrt(7)/2 and 3/2 - sqrt(7)/2.

An oil exploration firm is formed with enough capital to finance ten explorations. The probabil- ity of a particular exploration
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

μ = 1 The firm expects that one oil exploration will be successful.

v(x)= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to define the random variable x as:

x: number of oil explorations being succesful

Then x can be take this values:

x = 0 , x =1 ... x =10

x is a binomially distributed random variable with parameters.

p = 0.1 and  n=10

And the mean or the expected value of x is:

μ = E(x) = np

Then μ = 10*0.1 = 1

And the variance of x is:

V(x) = np(1-p)

V(x) = 10(0.1)(1-0.1)= 0.9
