Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation -2.5(5-n)+2=15. Shawna says, “I can begin by dividing each side of the equat

ion by –2.5 to get 5-n-2/2.5=-15/2.5." Dexter says, “I can begin by distributing -2.5 to get -12.5+2.5n+2=15." Tilana says, “I can begin by multiplying each side of the equation by -1/2,5 to get 5-n-0.8=-6." Which students are correct?

Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the  5-n you have to do the opposite which is division. 
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Hope this helps!

<span>The probability that a house in an urban area will develop a leak is 55​%. if 20 houses are randomly​ selected, what is the probability that none of the houses will develop a​ leak? round to the nearest thousandth.

Use binomial distribution, since probability of developing a leak,  p=0.55 is assumed constant, and
n=20, x=0
and assuming leaks are developed independently between houses,
P(X=x)
=C(n,0)p^x* (1-p)^(n-x)
=C(20,0)0.55^0 * (0.45^20)
=1*1*0.45^20
=1.159*10^(-7)
=0.000
