Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{N=-18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, multiply 3 from both sides.

3*2/3n=3(-12)

Solve.

3*-12=-36

2n=-36

Next, divide 2 from both sides.

2n/2=-36/2

Solve.

-36/2=-18

Therefore, the correct answer is n=-18.

Answer:

-1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's multiply left and right by 3n:

2 = -12 * 3n =>

-36n = 2

now divide by -36:

n = 2/-36 = -1/18

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) $P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302$

b) $P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)$

$P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107$

$P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268$

$P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302$

And replacing we got:

$P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678$

c) For this case we want this probability:

$P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

$P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302$

$P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268$

$P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 8) = 0.677$

And replacing we got:

$P(X\geq 8)=0.0000779$

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".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Bin (n=10 ,p=0.2)$

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:

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

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable "number of women that have never been married" , on this case we now that the distribution of the random variable is:

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.2)$

Part a

We want to find this probability:

$P(X=2)$

And using the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)$

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

$P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107$

$P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268$

$P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302$

And replacing we got:

$P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

$P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302$

$P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268$

$P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 8) = 0.677$

The city is replacing all the streets, curbs, and gutters in Middleville. The homeowners on both sides of the street are charged

bija089 [108]

Mr. Kyle will be expected to pay $8,100.

The total cost for his land would be 120 x 90 = 10,800.

Since the city is paying 25%, he must pay the other 75%.

0.75 x 10800 = 8100

How do you solve 42 divided by 63

Dafna1 [17]

42 ÷ 63

63 -> 420

63x6=378

420-378=42

63->420

So, how many times does 63 go into 42? Well, it doesn't. So put down a zero on your paper, and then a decimal. So if we add a zero onto 42, it becomes 420. Well, 420 is divisible by 63. In fact, 63 goes into 420 6 times, making a total of 378. 420-378 = 42. Then the process begins again. So you've got a 0.6, and that six just keeps on repeating. On paper, you're gonna wanna put a dash over the six to show that it's repeating.

Anyways, the answer is .66 repeating.
