Answer: 426.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that she spent 34.12 on gas and you also know that that amount of money was the 8% of her paycheck.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you can write the following expression, where x is the total amount of money of her paycheck:

0.08x=34.12

When you solve for  x, you obtain the result shown below:

x=\frac{34.12}{0.08}\\\\x=426.5

What is a postulate?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

A statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition Postulate: If you have one apple and Sally has one apple, when you both add the same quantity to your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples. Using algebra, the postulate states:

If x = y, then x + 4 = y + 4

The Subtraction Postulate: If you have ten apples and Sally has ten apples, when you both subtract the same quantity of apples from your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples.

If x = y, then x - 3 = y - 3

Without being repetitive, these same principles apply to both multiplication and division.

The Multiplication Postulate: If x = y, then x * 3 = y * 3

The Division Postulate: If x = y, then x / 7 = y / 7

(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a
Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a)

X ~ Bernoulli (p_x) and Y ~ Bernoulli (y_x)

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

b)

If X and Y can not be both equal to  1

then,

p_z = P(X=1 or Y=1)\\

p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1 and Y =1)

p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y

c)

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a  Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution
