Answer:
The correct answer is 10+6p
Step-by-step explanation:
The mistake is that for the first step instead of distributing 2 to 3p and 1 they added 8+2 first. your actually supposed to distribute and get, 8+6p+2, then combine like terms and get 10+6p
In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number.
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
Answer:
0.80589
Step-by-step explanation:
So all of the numbers of correct answers less than 4 are 0,1,2,3
We need to calculate the probability for each separately and then add them together.
To find the probability we have to first find the combination. We know that there’s n=8 trials and that p=0.3. So 1-0.3 gives us 0.7.
The combination formula is: ! / (!(−)!)
So the n would always =8, and the r would be 0,1,2,3. So you would have to calculate it for 0,1,2,3 Separately. This can be done by hand or you can use a simple combinations calculator online.
For 0;
The combination is 1,
1 x 0.3^0 x 0.7^8-0 =
0.057648
For 1;
The combination is 8,
8 x 0.3^1 x 0.7^8-1 =
0.19765
For 2;
The combination is 28
28 x 0.3^2 x 0.7^8-2 =
0.296475
For 3;
The combination is 56
56 x 0.3^3 x 0.7^8-3 =
0.254122
All that’s left is to add these four numbers;
0.057647 + 0.19765 + 0.296475 + 0.254122 = 0.80589
