Answer:

21-14a

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to distribute the (2/3) into the (15-21a) then add it to the 11.  So after distributing the (2/3) into the (15-21a) is (10-14a).  Then add that to the 11

Answer:

-14a + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

11 + 2/3(15 - 21a)

Expand brackets.

11 + 2/3(15) + 2/3(-21a)

11 + 30/3 + -42/3a

Evaluate.

11 + 10 + - 14a

21 + - 14a

A telemarketer is successful at getting people to donate money for her organization in 55% of all calls she makes. She must get
Tems11 [23]
An interesting twist to a binomial distribution problem.

Given:
p=55%=0.55 for probability of success in solicitation
x=4=number of successful solicitations
n=number of calls to be made
P(x,n,p)>=89.9%=0.899  (from context, it is >= and not =, which is almost impossible)

From context of question, all calls are assumed independent, with constant probability of success, so binomial distribution is applicable.

The number of successes, x, is then given by
P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}where
p=probability of success
n=number of trials
x=number of successesC(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Here we need n such that
P(x,n,p)>=0.899
given
x>=4, p=0.55, which means we need to find

Method 1: if a cumulative binomial distribution table is available, we can look up n=9,10,11 and find
P(x>=4,9,0.55)=0.834
P(x>=4,10,0.55)=0.898
P(x>=4,11,0.55)=0.939
So she must make (at least) 11 calls to make sure the probability of meeting her quota is 89.9% or more.

Method 2: using technology.
Similar to method 1, we can look up the probabilities directly, for n=9,10,11
P(x>=4,9,0.55)=0.834178
P(x>=4,10,0.55)=0.8980051
P(x>=4,11,0.55)=0.9390368

Method 3: using simple calculator
Here we need to calculate the probabilities for each value of n=10,11 and sum the probabilities of FAILURE S=P(0,n,0.55)+P(1,n,0.55)+P(2,n,0.55)+P(3,n,0.55)
so that the probability of success is 1-S.
For n=10,
P(0,10,0.55)=0.000341
P(1,10,0.55)=0.004162
P(2,10,0.55)=0.022890
P(3,10,0.55)=0.074603
So that
S=0.000341+0.004162+0.022890+0.074603
=0.101995
and Probability of getting 4 successes (or more) 
=1-S
=0.898005, missing target by 0.1%

So she will have to make 11 phone calls, bring up the probability to 93.9%.  The work is similar to that of n=10.

Whats the answer will give brainliest solve for x
Mkey [24]
X = arctan(32/19)

x = 59.30 degrees.

 You don't say if the answer needs to be rounded, so round it as needed.

24=3x-16-8x thank you, sorry not to good at math
antiseptic1488 [7]
First, simplify the equation 3X-8X is -5X. So 24=16+-5X. Then subtract 16 from both sides. So you get 8=-5X. Then divide by -5.
So X= -8/5
