Answer:

The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22

Step-by-step explanation:

For each client, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a sales contract, or there is not. The probability of having a sale contract with each client is independent of other clients. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem, we have that:

n = 18, p = 0.29

What is the expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week?

E(X) = np = 18*0.29 = 5.22

The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22

What is 3/8x + 15/2=18
mart [117]


Let's solve for x --

Isn't it always a little easier to solve a math problem with starting by rewriting the equation?

3/8x + 15/2 = 8

Step 1) Subtract 15/2 from both sides

3/8x + 15/2 - 15/2 = 8 - 15/2

3/8x = 1/2

Step 2) Multiply both sides by 8/3

(8/3) × (3/8x) = (8/3) × (1/2)

x = 4/3

FINAL ANSWER -

x = 4/3

5.Solve the quadratic equation.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

x=5 twice

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-10x+25=0

multiply the coefficient of x^2 and the last term

1X25=25

find two numbers you can multiply to get 25 and add to get -10

-5 + (-5)=-10 the middle term

replace -10x with -5x -5x and solve the equation

x^2-5x-5x+25=0

factorise by grouping

x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-5)=0

Either x-5=0,x=5 or x-5=0,x=5

Therefore x=5 twice.

Geometry Values of a Kite
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

x=7

y=18

The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5

Solve for x first

2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.

2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.

x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.

y-4 = (7)+5

y-4 = 12

y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.

y = 18

Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.

(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
