Answer:

6/5 < x < 10/3 is the desired solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given compound inequality is :

x + 1 < -2 x + 11 < 3 x + 5

Now, consider the first two term of the inequality, we get:

x + 1 < -2 x + 11

Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get:

x + 1 - 1 < -2 x + 11 - 1

or, x < -2x + 10

or, x + 2x < 10

or, 3 x < 10

or, x < 10/3

Similarly, considering the last two terms of the given inequality, we get:

-2 x + 11 < 3 x + 5

Subtracting 11 from both sides, we get:

-2 x + 11 - 11 < 3 x + 5 - 11

or, - 2 x < 3 x-6

or, 6 < 5 x

or, x > 6/5

Hence, combining two solutions, we get: 6/5 < x < 10/3

So, the desired value of x should be more than (6/5) but less than (10/3)

Answer:

P(X < 126) = 0.0418

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
