Answer:

m=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1 blue jar = 21 marbles

1 blue jar = 3 red jars

Therefor

21 marbles= 3 red jars

(Now let m=1 red jar)

21= 3m

(Then sine we have 3m dived both sides by 3 to isolate the m)

21/3= 3m/3

7=m

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

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

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

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

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Factor x^2-5x-24 i need help to figure this out

Mrac [35]

Answer:

(x-8)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?

2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?

In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.

Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that

8+ −3=5

which is one of the factors of -24.

This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:

(x−3)(x+8)

Hope this helped!
