Answer:
p(blue or red) = 0.52 = 52%
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of marbles = 7 + 10 + 14 + 19 = 50
number of blue marbles = 7
number of red marbles = 19
number of blue or red marbles = 7 + 19 = 26
p(blue or red) = 26/50
p(blue or red) = 0.52 = 52%
The picture below shows the formula for calculating slope
In this example:
y2 = 4
y1 = -4
x2 = 5
x1 = 3
(These are the numbers you substitute into the formula)
Calculations:
4 - (-4) = 8
5 - 3 = 2
8/2 = 4
As you can see, after the values are substituted into the equation & simplified, the slope is equal to 4
Answer:
Binomial
There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each copy of the document, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.
Binomial probability distribution:
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem
Of the 20 copies, 2 are defective, so .
What is the probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine?
This is P(X = 0) when .
There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Subbing in:
a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:
Group together in groups of 2:
Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:
We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:
Remember that
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.
The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and
You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
3(x + 8) = 17....distribute the 3 thru the parenthesis
3x + 24 = 17...subtract 24 from both sides
3x = 17 - 24
3x = -7...divide both sides by 3
x = -7/3 or -2 1/3 <===
