Solve for y 8(3y-5)=9(y-5)

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To solve for y, you want to use the distributive property

First you want to distribute the 8 through the 3y-5 and the 9 through the y-5

8(3y-5)= 24y-40

9(y-5)= 9y-45

24y-40=9y-45 (get the x on one side, so first add 40 to each side)

24y=9y-5 (now subtract 9y to each side)

15y=-5 (divide both sides by 15)

y= -5/15= -1/3

Hope this helps ;)

An airplane has 100 seats for passengers. Assume that the probability that a person holding a ticket appears for the flight is 0
zmey [24]

Answer:

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 105, p = 0.9

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 105*0.9 = 94.5

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{105*0.9*0.1} = 3.07

What is the probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

100 or less people appearing to the flight, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 100. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{100 - 94.5}{3.07}

Z = 1.79

Z = 1.79 has a pvalue of 0.9633

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat
