Yes there is an error in this statement.

because x^2 = 25 
so x = 5...this is one condition

Another condition is x = -5
(-5)^2 = 25 (this is also true)

No because 5 to the power of 2 equals 5 x 5 and 5 x 5 = 25 hope this helped

Find the distance between the points -18 and -42. Show your work for full credit. (2 points.)
Masja [62]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way: 42 - 18 = 24, then translate it to negative 24 because your numbers are negative.

A little bit harder way: -42 + (-18) or -42 + 18 = -24

34​% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so n = 10

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so \pi = 0.34

(a) exactly​ two

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than​ two

This is P(X > 2).

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)

In which

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 356 yards. If the length of the field is 96 yards, what is its width?
Marina86 [1]
Let x equal the width.  Since the length of the base is 96 yards, multiply that times 2 for 192.  Then using the parameter formula 2w+2b=P, you get 2x+192=356.  Subtract both sides by 192, then divide by 2.
