Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+1=4x+(-4)\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\3x-4x+1=4x-4x-4\\\\-x+1=-4\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-x+1-1=-4-1\\\\-x=-5\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=5$

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen

noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 5, p = 0.93$

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is $P(X \geq 1)$

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807$

Finally

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193$

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Ariana has a collection of 100 coins. How many coins represent 10% of her collection?

AnnZ [28]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

10% is the same as 10/100

10% would equal 10 (out of the 100) coins

Multiply 3xyz ^ 2 / 6y ^ 4 by 2y / x z ^ 4

Marat540 [252]

$\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}=\dfrac{3}{6}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{y^4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xz}{y^3}=\dfrac{xz}{2y^3}\\\\\\\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{xz^2}{2y^3}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{2}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{xy^3z^4}=1\cdot\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}=\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}$
