A 100% increase followed by a 50% decrease

Answer:

We end up with our original number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be our number

We increase by 100

increase = old number * 100%

increase = x*1

increase = x

New number = old number + increase

                       = x+x

                         =2x

Now we decrease by 50%

decrease = number *50%

                = 2x*.5

                =x

Final number = new number - decrease

                       = 2x-x

                         =x

Find 4 consecutive even integers whose sum is 156?
snow_tiger [21]
X+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=156
4x+6=156
4x=150
x=37.5 (not an integer)
If x=37 you get 37+38+39+40=154 and if x=38 you get 38+39+40+41=158[/tex]

Solve the following quadratic equations by completing the square.<br><br> y^2-14y+48=0
NISA [10]

Answer:

  y = 6 or 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract the constant:

  y^2 -14y = -48

2. Add the square of half the y-coefficient:

  y^2 -14y +49 = -48 +49

Write as a square, if you like:

  (y -7)^2 = 1

3. Take the square root:

  y -7 = ±√1 = ±1

4. Add the opposite of the constant on the left:

  y = 7 ±1  =  6 or 8

The solution is y = 6 or y = 8.

A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the given parameters. Compute the probability of x successes in the n indepe
Naddik [55]

Answer:

P (X ≤ 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability formula can be used to find the probability of a binomial experiment for a specific number of successes.  It <em>does not</em> find the probability for a <em>range</em> of successes, as in this case.

 

The <em>range</em> "x≤4" means x = 0 <em>or</em> x = 1 <em>or </em>x = 2 <em>or</em> x = 3 <em>or</em> x = 4, so there are five different probability calculations to do.

 

To to find the total probability, we use the addition rule that states that the probabilities of different events can be added to find the probability for the entire set of events only if the events are <em>Mutually Exclusive</em>. The outcomes of a binomial experiment are mutually exclusive for any value of x between zero and n, as long as n and p don't change, so we're allowed to add the five calculated probabilities together to find the total probability.

 

The probability that x ≤ 4 can be written as P (X ≤ 4) or as P (X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4) which means (because of the addition rule) that P(x ≤ 4) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P (x = 2) + P (x = 3) + P (x = 4)

Therefore, the probability of x<4 successes is P (X ≤ 4)
