Find the value of x.
1 answer:
This is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, at the base we have congruent angles (look at the picture).
We have the equation:
(5x + 13)° + (3x + 7)° = 180°
5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180 <em>combine like terms</em>
(5x + 3x) + (13 + 7) = 180
8x + 20 = 180 <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>
8x = 160 <em>divide both sides by 8</em>
<h3>x = 20</h3>

Option C: np is the expression used for calculating the mean of a binomial distribution.
Explanation:
From the options, we need to determine the expression that is used for calculating the mean of a binomial distribution.
<u>Option A: npq</u>
The variance of the binomial distribution can be calculated using the expression npq.
Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.
<u>Option B: </u><u></u>
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution can be calculated using the expression
Hence, Option B is not the correct answer.
<u>Option C: np</u>
The mean of the binomial distribution can be calculated using the expression np
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
<u>Option D</u>:
The mean of the binomial distribution cannot be determined using the expression
Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.
