Alan has two more than twice as many chocolates as does alice, and half as many chocolates as does nadia. if alice has ‘a' numbe

Alan has two more than twice as many chocolates as does alice
Alan = 2Alice + 2 ----(1)

Alan has half as many chocolates as does nadia
Alan = 1/2 Nadia
so Nadia = 2Alan ----(2)

if Alice has 'a' number of chocolates
from (1)
Alan = 2a + 2 ----(3)
from (2) and (3)
Nadia = 2 (2a+2) = 4a+4 ----(4)

So Alan Alice and Nadia have
(2a+2) + a + (4a+4) = 7a+ 6 #

Find the prime factorization of 36
Dmitrij [34]

prime factoring, oddly enough, is simply dividing by primes, anyhow, without much adieu.

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3.


but anyway, prime factoring, is dividing by first 2, till you can't, then 3 till you can't, then 5 till you can't, and so on, and that plucks out all possible factors on any number.

According to a​ survey, 65​% of murders committed last year were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. Fifty murders committed
monitta

Answer:

a) P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421

b) P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714

P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502

P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319

And adding these values we got:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535

c) We can find the expected value given by:

E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number cleared by arrest or exceptional", on this case we can model this variable with this distribution:

X \sim Binom(n=50, p=0.65)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421

Part b

We want this probability:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)

We can find the individual probabilities:

P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714

P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502

P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319

And adding these values we got:

P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535

Part c

We can find the expected value given by:

E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

Solve this system of equations using the substitution method.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x = 1.2

y = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y= -2x+9

2) 8x-3=y

Substitute y in equation 1 using y in equation 2.

8x - 3 = -2x + 9

+ 3 on both sides

8x = -2x + 12

+ 2x on both sides

10x = 12

x = 1.2

To find y, plug in x

8x - 3 = y

9.6 - 3 = y

6.6 = y

Hope this helps :)

An ice cream shop sells 6 different flavors, 4 toppings, and 3 types of cones. How many different combinations of two different
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

360 combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of different combinations of 2 different flavors, 1 topping, and 1 cone, we are going to use the rule of multiplication as:

<u>               6          </u>* <u>        5             </u> * <u>            4           </u>* <u>          3             </u>= 360

       1st flavor           2nd flavor              topping              cone

Because first, we have 6 possible options for the flavor, then we only have 5 possible options for the 2nd flavor. Then, we have 4 options for the topping and finally, we have 3 options for the cone.

It means that there are 360 different combinations of two different flavors, one topping, and one cone are possible
