Let, the number = x
x/3 + x = 16
x+3x /3 = 16
4x = 16*3
x = 48/4
x = 12

So, the number would be 12

Hope this helps!

We are given :

\sqrt{4x^{2}-20x+25}

Step 1: factor the part inside square root

The function given inside square root is of quadratic form.

So let us try to factorise it using AC method.

Here A*C = 4*25 = 100

so we have to find factors of 100 that add up to give -20.

the two factors are -10 and -10.

Rewriting the function :

4x^{2} -20x+25

=4x^{2} -10x-10x+25

=2x(2x-5) - 5(2x-5)

=(2x-5)^{2}

Step 2:

Now we take square root of the factorised form

\sqrt{(2x-5)^2}

= 2x-5

Answer : (2x-5)

The sample space of a random experiment is {a, b, c, d, e} with probabilities 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.2 respectively. Let A de
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a) P(A) =P(a)+P(b) +P(c)= 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

b) P(B) =P(c) +P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c) P(A') = 1-P(A) =1-0.4=0.6

d) P(A \cup B) =0.4 +0.8-0.2 =1.0

e)  The intersection between the set A and B is the element c so then we have this:

P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following space provided:

S= [a,b,c,d,e]

With the following probabilities:

P(a) =0.1, P(b)=0.1, P(c) =0.2, P(d)=0.4, P(e)=0.2

And we define the following events:

A= [a,b,c], B=[c,d,e]

For this case we can find the individual probabilities for A and B like this:

P(A) = 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

P(B) =0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

Determine:

a. P(A)

P(A) =P(a)+P(b) +P(c)= 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

b. P(B)

P(B) =P(c) +P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c. P(A’)

From definition of complement we have this:

P(A') = 1-P(A) =1-0.4=0.6

d. P(AUB)

Using the total law of probability we got:

P(A \cup B) =P(A) +P(B)-P(A \cap B)

For this case P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2, so if we replace we got:

P(A \cup B) =0.4 +0.8-0.2 =1.0

e. P(AnB)

The intersection between the set A and B is the element c so then we have this:

P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2
