Answer:
x < 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that: 1 + 2x < 9. Let's solve this as if the < sign was an = sign:
1 + 2x < 9
Isolate the variable:
2x < 9 - 1
2x < 8
Divide by 2:
x < 8/2
x < 4
The answer is x < 4.
Answer:
The concentration is simply 36%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are concerned with calculating the concentration of a new mixture formed from mixing some liters of each of two vinegar variants of different concentrations.
We proceed as follows;
The concentration of the new solution will contain 12% of 13L vinegar A and 70% of 9L vinegar B
13L of vinegar A will contain 13 * 12% = 13 * 0.12 = 1.56
9L of 70% vinegar B will contain 9 * 70% = 9 * 0.7 = 6.3
Now, the new mixture has a total volume of 13 + 9 = 22L
The concentration of the new mixture will thus be;
(1.56 + 6.3)/22
= 0.357 and that’s approximately 0.36 or simply 36%
The expected value of the discrete distribution, if you have to pay $.50 to pick one package at random, is of -$0.08.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
For this problem, considering the cost of $0.5, the distribution is given as follows:
- P(X = 0.2) = 12/(12 + 15 + 23) = 12/50 = 0.24.
- P(X = -0.1) = 15/(12 + 15 + 23) = 15/50 = 0.3.
- P(X = -0.2) = 23/(12 + 15 + 23) = 23/50 = 0.46.
Hence the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.2 x 0.24 - 0.3 x 0.1 - 0.2 x 0.46 = -$0.08.
