Answer:

x=-4 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+1)=8-x

x^2+x=8-x

x^2+2x-8=0

x^2+4x-2x-8=0

x(x+4)-2(x+4)

(x-2)(x+4)=0

x-2=0

x=2

x+4=0

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know it's direct variation using the direct variation equation.

$y=kx$

Where k is the constant.

Since 7 times x is the y values, $k=7$

Now we can substitute 7 into k of the direct variation equation.

$y=7x$

A construction company was contracted to build a cylindrical storage tank with a diameter of 48 feet and height of 25 feet. Just

Mrrafil [7]

V=hpir^2
d/2=r

so, at first, diameter is 48ft
48/2=24ft is radius
height is 25ft

so volume=25pi24^2 or 14400pi cubic feet

max of 9ft

if we want 9ft height
find r
hmm

14400pi=9pir^2
divide both sides by 9pi
1600=r^2
sqrt both sides
40=r
2r=d
2(40)=80=d

the new diameter is 80ft

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

$P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107$

Then,

$P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007$

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

$P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924$

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

$P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366$
