Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that p = 0.051

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that n = 6

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

We want P(X \geq 1)

Then

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Answer:

12x^4-20x^2+32x=4x(3x^3-5x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Common Factors</u>

An algebraic expression that is formed by sums or subtractions of terms can be factored provided there are numeric or variable common factors in all the terms.

The following expression

Z=12x^4-20x^2+32x

Can be factored in the constants and in the variable x.

1. To find the common factor of the variable, we must locate if the variable is present in all terms. If so, we take the common factor as the variable with an exponent which is the lowest of all the exponents found throughout the different terms. In this case, the lowest exponent is x (exponent 1).

2. To find the common factors of the constants, we take all the coefficients:

12 - 20 - 32

and find the greatest common divisor of them, i.e. the greatest number all the given numbers can be divided by. This number is 4, since 12/4=3, 20/4=5 and 32/4=8

3. The factored expression is

Z=12x^4-20x^2+32x=4x(3x^3-5x+8)

\boxed{12x^4-20x^2+32x=4x(3x^3-5x+8)}

If cot xº = 3/4 what is the value of b?
balandron [24]

Answer:

\cot(x)  =  \frac{3}{4}  =  \frac{10.5}{2b}

4 \times 10.5 = 2 b \times 3

42 = 6b

b = 7
