The land area of a country is about 5.0 million square​ miles, and the population is about 600 million people. What is the avera
podryga [215]

Answer:

120 people/sq. mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Density is the concept of how "crowdy" a place is. The more the population density, the more crowded that place is.

The population density is found by dividing the "number of people" by the "land area" (in sq mile or sq km).

Here, it is given there are 600 million people, so

Number of People = 600,000,000

And, the land area is given as 5 million square miles, so

Land Area = 5,000,000 sq. miles

Hence,

Population Density = 600,000,000/5,000,000 = 120 people/sq. mile

the combined area of two squares is 45 square centimetres each side is twice as long as a side of the other square what length o
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Let the side of  one square be x.    Area = x*x = x²

Then the side of other square  would be 2x ,   Area = 2x*2x = 4x²

Combined area = x² + 4x²  = 5x²

This combined area = 45 cm²

you simplify

Therefore  5x²  = 45   Divide both sides by 5

                 x²  =  45/5

                 x²  = 9        Take square root of both sides

                 x   =  √9

                 x  = 3

Length of larger square is 2x  = 2*3 = 6 cm

Length of larger square = 6cm

A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the given parameters. Compute the probability of x successes in the n indepe
Naddik [55]

Answer:

P (X ≤ 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability formula can be used to find the probability of a binomial experiment for a specific number of successes.  It <em>does not</em> find the probability for a <em>range</em> of successes, as in this case.

 

The <em>range</em> "x≤4" means x = 0 <em>or</em> x = 1 <em>or </em>x = 2 <em>or</em> x = 3 <em>or</em> x = 4, so there are five different probability calculations to do.

 

To to find the total probability, we use the addition rule that states that the probabilities of different events can be added to find the probability for the entire set of events only if the events are <em>Mutually Exclusive</em>. The outcomes of a binomial experiment are mutually exclusive for any value of x between zero and n, as long as n and p don't change, so we're allowed to add the five calculated probabilities together to find the total probability.

 

The probability that x ≤ 4 can be written as P (X ≤ 4) or as P (X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4) which means (because of the addition rule) that P(x ≤ 4) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P (x = 2) + P (x = 3) + P (x = 4)

Therefore, the probability of x<4 successes is P (X ≤ 4)

Can someone please help me with this question ASAP
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

  • x - 7.31 ≤ 10
  • x ≤ 17.31

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the amount of money in the second piggy back

We assume that the second piggy bank has MORE than the piggy bank with $7.31 in it:

x - 7.31 ≤ 10

<u>Solution</u>

Add 7.31 to both sides:  x - 7.31 + 7.31 ≤ 10 + 7.31

                                                       ⇒ x ≤ 17.31
