Vanessa uses the expressions (3x2 + 5x + 10) and (x2 – 3x – 1) to represent the length and width of her patio. Which expression

Brut [27]

The area of rectangle with length l and width w is

$A=l\cdot w.$

If the length of rectangle is expressed as $l=3x^2 + 5x + 10$ and the width of rectangle is expressed as $w=x^2-3x-1$ , then the area of rectangle is

$A=(3x^2 + 5x + 10)(x^2-3x-1)=3x^4-4x^3-8x^2-35x-10.$

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi

ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles carry just one person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291$

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

$\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60$

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

$P(x \geq 47)$

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

$P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%$

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

Evaluate the expression a + b for a = 2 and b = 11

Lesechka [4]

If a+b= 2+11 then your sum will be 13.

heres an example...

If you have eleven dollars and I give you 2 more you can simply count up 2 more from 11 leaving you at 13.

you're welcome.

The larger of two numbers is 7 times the smaller number. Three times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number

Juliette [100K]

Let the smaller number be x.

Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.

So, the larger number = 7x.

Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.

So we can write the equation as,

$3(7x) = 4(x)+7$

$3(7x) = 4x+7$

$21x = 4x+7$

Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.

$21x-4x = 4x-4x+7$

$21x-4x = 7$

$17x = 7$

To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,

$\frac{17x}{17} = \frac{7}{17}$

$x = \frac{7}{17}$

So the smaller number = $\frac{7}{17}$

The larger number = $7(\frac{7}{17} )$ = $\frac{49}{17}$

So we have got the required numbers.

Smaller number = $\frac{7}{17}$ and larger number = $\frac{49}{17}$ .
