8x - 13 = 2x + 3

8x - 2x = 13 + 3

6x = 16

x = 16/6 = 8/3

ans: x = 8/3

Answer:

x=16/6 or x=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-2x-13=3

6x-13=3+13

6\6x=16/6

For the first part:

Every shirt she grabs, will cost her dollars, so if she grabs 3 shirts, then the cost of the shirts is:

$12+12+12=3(12)$

With the same rationale, if she grabs 2 pairs of jeans, the cost of the jeans is:

$19+19=2(19)$

So, her total is:

$3(12)+2(19)$

If you subtract 3 from the total, then the expression is:

$3(12)+2(19)-3=36+38-3=71$

For the second part:

If she's paying 3 less for each shirt, then the cost of 3 shirts will become:

$(12-3)+(12-3)+(12-3)=3(12-3)$

In the same fashion, for the two jeans:

$(19-3)+(19-3)=2(19-3)$

So the expression for the total cost is:

$3(12-3)+2(19-3)=36-9+38-6=59$

For number three:

The amounts are different because the cost of the total purchase is different than the cost of each element that makes up the total purchase.

For number four:

If you're the owner, you want to give the smallest amount of discount (the one in part 1/a).

So you could clarify by saying there's 3 dollars of the TOTAL purchase's cost.

Answer:

a) Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

b) $X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

c) $P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

d) $P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

e) $E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

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

Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part b

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part c

For this case we just need to replace into the mass function and we got:

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

Part d

For this case we want this probability: $P(X\geq 15)$

And we can solve this using the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

Part e

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

Can someone help me with this? thx :)

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Table 1 is not a function because there are two y-values with the same x-values. Remember... y values can repeat but x values cannot repeat when their corresponding y values are different.

Table 2 is a function.

You would need to omit either (3,7) or (3,-2).
