Answer:

Stephen has 9 trees

Alice has 21 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>At the beginning:</u>

Stephen = x trees

Alice = x + 12 trees

<u>At the end:</u>

Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees

Stephen = x + 10 trees

Total = 36

Then

((x+12)-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+12-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+8)+(x+10)=36\\ \\x+8+x+10=36\\ \\2x+18=36\\ \\2x+18-18=36-18\\ \\2x=18\\ \\x=9

Stephen - 9 trees

Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees

In a box of 25 external hard disks, there are 2 defectives. An inspector examines 5 of these hard disks. Find the probability th
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%

The probability that there is at least 1 defective hard disk is 0.3667 or 36.67%.

What is Y increased by 22
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

y+22

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant the variable as lower case, sorry if I misinterpreted, but...

<em>Increased by  </em>just means addition. so y <em>increased by  </em>22 would translate to y+22.

Hope I helped :)
