There are 5 pans of banana nut bread. If each pan is sliced evenly into eighths, how many total slices are there?

Is the question asking to see if x = 1, y=-2, and z=2 by solving the three equations?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

2 × 1 +2 +2×2 =8

2+2+4=8

8=8

3×1 +3× -2 + 4×2 =5

3-6+8=5

5=5

1+2 × -2 +2 = -5

1-4+2= -5

-5 = -5

Please Help!!!<br><br> What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1, 2, -3, and -1 ?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Numeric expressions apply operations to numbers. For example, 2(3 + 8) is a numeric expression. Algebraic expressions include at least one variable and at least one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). For example, 2(x + 8y) is an algebraic expression.

A college student is taking two courses. The probability she passes the first course is 0.73. The probability she passes the sec

zhenek [66]

Answer:

b) No, it's not independent.

c) 0.02

d) 0.59

e) 0.57

f) 0.5616

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, a Venn diagram should be useful. The diagram with the information of Event 1 and Event 2 is shown below (I already added the information for the intersection but we're going to see how to get that information in the b) part of the problem)

Let's call A the event that she passes the first course, then P(A)=.73

Let's call B the event that she passes the second course, then P(B)=.66

Then P(A∪B) is the probability that she passes the first or the second course (at least one of them) is the given probability. P(A∪B)=.98

b) Is the event she passes one course independent of the event that she passes the other course?

Two events are independent when P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)

So far, we don't know P(A∩B), but we do know that for all events, the next formula is true:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

We are going to solve for P (A∩B)

.98 = .73 + .66 - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) =.73 + .66 - .98

P(A∩B) = .41

Now we will see if the formula for independent events is true

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

.41 = .73 x .66

.41 ≠.4818

Therefore, these two events are not independent.

c) The probability she does not pass either course, is 1 - the probability that she passes either one of the courses (P(A∪B) = .98)

1 - P(A∪B) = 1 - .98 = .02

d) The probability she doesn't pass both courses is 1 - the probability that she passes both of the courses P(A∩B)

1 - P(A∩B) = 1 -.41 = .59

e) The probability she passes exactly one course would be the probability that she passes either course minus the probability that she passes both courses.

P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = .98 - .41 = .57

f) Given that she passes the first course, the probability she passes the second would be a conditional probability P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

P(B|A) = .41 / .73 = .5616

Thirty percent of all customers who enter a department store will make a purchase. Suppose that 6 customers enter the store and

torisob [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use binomial distribution, because we are interested in find the total number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments.

In probability, a binomial distribution is used in a Bernoulli process. That is, a sequence of experiments of n independent trials, each asking a dichotomous question, that means it only has two answers. One answer is a success (probability: p) and the other is a failure (probability: 1-p). In this case, every customer who enters in the store is the experiment. If they make a purchase is a success event, taking into account that every purchase decision has to be independent.

$P(X=x) = C(n,x)p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}$

x= total number of success

n= total number of experiments

p=probability of success on an indivual trial

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

a) x= 5 ------> customers that make a purchase

n= 6 ------> total customers

p=0.3

$p(X=5)= C(6,5)(0.3)^{5} (1-0.3)^{6-5} \\p(X=5)=0.102$

b) At least 3 customers make a purchase. x ≥ 3

$P(X\geq 3)=1-P (X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)\\P(X\geq 3)=1-(C(6,0)(0.3^{0})(0.7)^{6}) - (C(6,1)(0.3^{1})(0.7)^{5}) - (C(6,2)(0.3^{2})(0.7)^{4})\\ P(X\geq 3) = 1-0.11765-0.30253-0.32414\\P(X\geq3)= 0.2557$

c) At most 2 customers make a purchase. x ≤ 2

$P(X\leq2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)\\P(X\leq2) = (C(6,0)(0.3^{0})(0.7)^{6}) + (C(6,1)(0.3^{1})(0.7)^{5}) + (C(6,2)(0.3^{2})(0.7)^{4})\\P(X\leq2) = 0.11765-0.30253-0.32414\\P(X\leq2)=0.7443$

d)At least 1 customer makes a purchase. x ≥ 1

$P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\P(X\geq 1)= 1-C(0,6)(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{6} \\P(X\geq 1)= 1-0.11765 = 0.8824$

e)They must be kind to customers, always willing to help and give information about products clearly and honestly.

Have enough inventory and offer promotions for the purchase of more than one product

Have an agile payment system that avoids rows and delays in purchases.

Is this correct? if not what is the answer

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct.

x + m<PQS + m<PSQ = 180

m<PQS = m<QRT = 70

m<QST + m<PSQ = 180

120 + m<PSQ = 180

m<PSQ = 60

x + 70 + 60 = 180

x + 130 = 180

x = 50

Great job!
