2/3 = x/(3x + y)

Cross multiply:

3x = 2(3x + y)

Distribute 2:

3x = 6x + 2y

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3x = 2y

Divide 'y' to both sides:

-3x/y = 2

Divide -3 to both sides:

x/y = -2/3

2/3 = x/3x + y
2(3x + y) = 3x
2(3x) + 2(y) = 3x
    6x + 2y = 3x
<u> - 6x           - 6x</u>
           <u>2y</u> = <u>-3x</u>
            2       2
             y = -1.5x

Certify Completion Icon Tries remaining:2 A town recently dismissed 10 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. T
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees are removed from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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)!}

In this question:

7 + 18 = 25 employees, which means that N = 25

7 over 50, which means that k = 7

10 dismissed, which means that n = 10

What is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50?

This is P(X = 5). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 5) = h(5,25,10,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{18,5}}{C_{25,10}} = 0.055

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

The length of a rectangle is three more than twice its width the perimeter of a rectangle is 42 cm what is the length of the rec
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

breadth(b)=?

length(l)= 3+2b

perimeter(P)= 42 cm

Now,

  P = 2 ( l+b )

or, 42= 2 ( 3+2b+b)

or, 42 = 2 ( 3+3b)

or, \frac{42}{2} = 3+3b

or, 21 = 3+3b

or, 21-3 =3b

or, 18 = 3b

or, \frac{18}{3} = b

or, 6 = b

Here, Breadth(b)= 6 cm

Length (l) = 3 + 2*6

              = 3 + 12

              =15 cm
