Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the third number, then x−1 and x−2 are the second and first numbers.

10(x−2) + 10(x−1) = 10 + 10x

x − 2 + x − 1 = 1 + x

2x − 3 = 1 + x

x = 4

Do rational expressions contain logarithmic functions? A. always B. sometimes C. never

bazaltina [42]

The right answer is C. never

The quotient of two algebraic expressions is a<em> fractional expression. </em> Moreover, the quotient of two <em>polynomials</em> such as:

$\frac{1}{x} \\ \\ \frac{3x-2}{1+x} \\ \\ \frac{x^2-4}{x^2+2}$

is called a rational expression. So according to this definition rational expressions does not contain logarithmic functions. In fact, a rational expression is an expression that is the ratio of two polynomials like this:

$f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} \\ \\ with \ Q(x) \neq 0$

ABCD×9=DCBA<br>(what is the value of A, B, C and D)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value that would make sense is if at least one of the variables (A , B , C , D) is 0 (if not all of them). When multiplied, the answer will still be 0, thereby making the equation true.

What is the area of a circle, if it's radius is 2cm?

slega [8]

25.13cm^2 or 8pi. The radius of a circle is 2 x pi x r^2. R is the radius. 2 x pi x 2^2cm -> 2 x pi x 4cm -> 8cm x pi -> 25.13cm^2. Leaving the answer in terms of pi would be 8pi.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) P(x≥6)=0.633

b) P(4≤x≤8)=0.8989 (one standard deviation from the mean).

c) P(x≤7)=0.8328

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can model this a binomial experiment. The probability of success p is the proportion of customers that prefer the oversize version (p=0.60).

The number of trials is n=10, as they select 10 randomly customers.

We have to calculate the probability that at least 6 out of 10 prefer the oversize version.

This can be calculated using the binomial expression:

$P(x\geq6)=\sum_{k=6}^{10}P(k)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)\\\\\\P(x=6) = \binom{10}{6} p^{6}q^{4}=210*0.0467*0.0256=0.2508\\\\P(x=7) = \binom{10}{7} p^{7}q^{3}=120*0.028*0.064=0.215\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\P(x=9) = \binom{10}{9} p^{9}q^{1}=10*0.0101*0.4=0.0403\\\\P(x=10) = \binom{10}{10} p^{10}q^{0}=1*0.006*1=0.006\\\\\\P(x\geq6)=0.2508+0.215+0.1209+0.0403+0.006=0.633$

b) We first have to calculate the standard deviation from the mean of the binomial distribution. This is expressed as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{10*0.6*0.4}=\sqrt{2.4}=1.55$

The mean of this distribution is:

$\mu=np=10*0.6=6$

As this is a discrete distribution, we have to use integer values for the random variable. We will approximate both values for the bound of the interval.

$LL=\mu-\sigma=6-1.55=4.45\approx4\\\\UL=\mu+\sigma=6+1.55=7.55\approx8$

The probability of having between 4 and 8 customers choosing the oversize version is:

$P(4\leq x\leq 8)=\sum_{k=4}^8P(k)=P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)\\\\\\P(x=4) = \binom{10}{4} p^{4}q^{6}=210*0.1296*0.0041=0.1115\\\\P(x=5) = \binom{10}{5} p^{5}q^{5}=252*0.0778*0.0102=0.2007\\\\P(x=6) = \binom{10}{6} p^{6}q^{4}=210*0.0467*0.0256=0.2508\\\\P(x=7) = \binom{10}{7} p^{7}q^{3}=120*0.028*0.064=0.215\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\\\P(4\leq x\leq 8)=0.1115+0.2007+0.2508+0.215+0.1209=0.8989$

c. The probability that all of the next ten customers who want this racket can get the version they want from current stock means that at most 7 customers pick the oversize version.

Then, we have to calculate P(x≤7). We will, for simplicity, calculate this probability substracting P(x>7) from 1.

$P(x\leq7)=1-\sum_{k=8}^{10}P(k)=1-(P(8)+P(9)+P(10))\\\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\P(x=9) = \binom{10}{9} p^{9}q^{1}=10*0.0101*0.4=0.0403\\\\P(x=10) = \binom{10}{10} p^{10}q^{0}=1*0.006*1=0.006\\\\\\P(x\leq 7)=1-(0.1209+0.0403+0.006)=1-0.1672=0.8328$
