Answer: There is probability of 0.367 that there will be no breakdown on his car in the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean (λ) = 0.5 breakdown per week

Number of weeks the owner of the car is planning to have a trip on his car for = 2 weeks

So, mean for 2 weeks would be

0.5\times 2=1.0

We need to find the probability that there will be no breakdown on his car in the trip.

Probability that there will be no breakdown on his car in the trip is given by

P(X=0) is given by

\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^k}{k!}\\\\=\dfrac{e^{-1}1^0}{0!}\\\\=0.367

Hence, there is probability of 0.367 that there will be no breakdown on his car in the trip.

Which expression is a difference of squares with a factor of 5x − 8? 25x2 − 16 25x2 + 16 25x2 − 64 25x2 + 64
erastovalidia [21]
Ok so differnce of 2 perfect ssquares are
x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y)
we are given
one factor is 5x-8
remember that all you do is square both terms individually to get them
(5x)^2=25x^2
8^2=64
they are difference so
25x^2-64 is answer

4x+y=15,3x+5y=41 solve by substitution and check the solution
melomori [17]

Answer:

{x,y} = {2,7} 

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y 

 

[1] y = -4x + 15

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [2]

  [2] 3x + 5•(-4x+15) = 41   [2] -17x = -34

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  x 

  [2] 17x = 34    [2] x = 2 

// By now we know this much :

  x = 2   y = -4x+15

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y 

  y = -4(2)+15 = 7
