Answer:
Option C: 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a binomial probability distribution problem.
Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;
P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)
From the histogram;
P(5) = 0.02
P(4) = 0.02
P(3) = 0.05
P(2) = 0.19
Thus;
P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02
P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28
Answer:
(a) 12 hours
(b) $220
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) First we plug in $364 for C
C=76+24h
364=76+24h
Subtract 76 from both sides
24h=288
Divide both sides by 24
h=12
She spent 12 hours fixing the drain
(b) First we plug 6 hours in for h
C=76+24(6)
Multiply it out
C=76+144
Add
C=220
It costs $220 for fixing a drain that takes 6 hours
Answer:
The expressions are not equivalent because -3(2)(5-4)+3(2-6)=-18 and -12(2)-6=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
Two expressions are said to be equal if after a number is substituted to the expression, they produce the same result (that is they have the same value).
To determine whether -3x(5-4)+3(x-6) is equivalent to -12x-6, we have to substitute the same number to the expression and see if it produces the same result.
Substituting 2 to the first expression gives:
-3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18
Substituting 2 to the second expression gives:
-12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30
Since -3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18 and -12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30, the expressions are not equivalent because they do not produce the same result.
