Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1.49/3=.49 each

2)12(5x+4)-(24-12)

60x+48-24+12 (dont forget to distribute the negative sign)

60x+36

3)1.24/4=.31

.31x6=1.86

4)17+(-28)

same thing as saying 17-28=-11

Which one is equivalent to the problem ? please help me!!!

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a power to a power problem. -3 times 2 equals-6. Usually when a number is raised to a negative power, the number is the denominator over 1...with the exponent in the denominator ad well. 5 to the -6 power is 15,605 which is the same as 1/5 to the 6th power....1/15,605

Which facts could be applied to simplify this expression? Select three options.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

A, B, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract like terms, you're supposed to subtract the coefficients, so Option 1 is correct. The statement like terms are terms that contain the same variable, raised to the same power, is true, so Option 2 is correct. The simplified expression is -4 - 3y + 3z, so Option 3 is wrong and Option 4 is correct. Option 5, -(-x) = -x is wrong, so Option 5 is not correct. Therefore, the answers are Options 1, 2, and 4 (or A, B, and D).

Hope this helps! I got it right on Edgen.

The fish population in a local lake is 10,000. The population increase by half every year. Which function represents the fish po

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.

Let's test it.

Initial:

10,000

After 1 year

10,000 + (.5*10000)

10,000 + 5000 = 15,000

After 2 years

15,000 + (.5*15000)

15,000 + 7500 = 22,500

Let's try our equation.

f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x

x = 2

10,000(1.5)^2

10,000(2.25) = 22,500

The same!

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
