X+(x-20)=44
2x= 64
x=32

Therefore the bigger number is 32 and the smaller number is 12

Sum means add
x and y are the numbers
sum i 44
x+y=44

smaller s 20 les than larger
x=20+y
or
y=20+x
doesn't matter, just pick one
x=20+y

substue 20+y for x since they are equal
x+y=44
(20+y)+y=44
20+y+y=44
20+2y=44
subtract 20 from both sides
2y=24
divide by 2
y=12
subsitue
x=20+y
x=20+12
x=32

the numbers are 12 and 32

The manager of a music store has kept records of
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

(a) P(x\le 3) = 0.75

(b) P(x\le 3) = 0.75

<em>(b) is the same as (a)</em>

(c) P(x \ge 5) = 0.10

(d) P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55

(e) P(x > 2) = 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

Solving (a): Probability of 3 or fewer CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

This gives:

P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20

P(x\le 3) = 0.75

Solving (b): Probability of at most 3 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

This gives:

P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20

P(x\le 3) = 0.75

<em>(b) is the same as (a)</em>

<em />

Solving (c): Probability of 5 or more CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x \ge 5) = P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)

This gives:

P(x\ge 5) = 0.05 + 0.05

P(x \ge 5) = 0.10

Solving (d): Probability of 1 or 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = P(1) + P(2)

This gives:

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.30 + 0.25

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55

Solving (e): Probability of more than 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccccc}{CDs} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x > 2) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)

This gives:

P(x > 2) = 0.20+ 0.15 + 0.05 + 0.05

P(x > 2) = 0.45
