Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Just solve for x by combining like terms:

2x+18=20

2x=20-18

2x=2

x=1

2x + 18 = 20

-18 -18

2x = 2

(Divide by 2)

x = 1

Hope this helps you!!!

Are 30/80 and 24/64 proportional

Flura [38]

Answer:

Yes, they are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify each fraction

30/80 can be simplified by dividing each number by 10

30/80

= 3/8

24/64 can be simplified by dividing each number by 8

24/64

= 3/8

So, each fraction will simplify to 3/8, meaning that they are proportional.

Ari stocks shelves at a grocery store.He puts 35 cans of juice in each display case.The case has 4 shelves with an equal number

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

There are 8 cans on each of the equal shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cans put in display = 35

Shelves with equal no of cans = 4 Shelves

And one shelf displays only 3 cans

Therefore, 4 shelves with equal no of cans + 1 shelf with 3 cans = 35 cans

Let us assume equal no. of cans be x

We get, 4x + 3 = 35

4x = 35 - 3

4x = 32

x = 32 ÷ 4

x = 8

<u><em>Thus, 4 shelves with equal no of cans contains 8 cans each.</em></u>

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett

valentinak56 [21]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is $\frac{211}{243}$ , hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is $\frac{232}{243}$ , hence:

$(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}$

$\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}$

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527$

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012$

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

Slips of paper are numbered 1 through 10. If one slip is drawn and replaced 40 times, how many times should the slip with number

Masja [62]

Hey there!

We have 10 pieces of paper. The probability of drawing a 10 is 1/10. Therefore, if we were to draw ten times, the ten should probably be drawn once. If we multiplied our number of drawings by four (10*4=40), our outcome of seeing our slip with the ten should also quadruple and become four times. (1*4=4)

I hope that this helps! Have an awesome day!
