What is the value of x in the proportion (x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35

(x-1)/5 = (4x + 2)/35

lets start off by multiplying each side by 5

(x-1) = 5(4x + 2)/35

then let's multiply both sides by 35

35(x-1) = 5(4x + 2)

now let's distribute the coefficients (5 and 35) into everything in the brackets

35 times x is 35x
35 rimes 1 is 35

5 times 4x is 20x
5 times 2 is 10

(35x - 35) = (20x + 10)

we can add 35 to both sides

35x = 20x + 45

then subtract 20x on both sides

15x = 45

then divide both sides by 15

x = 3

P(A) = 0.12
$P(A\cap C)=0.05$
$P(A\cup C)=0.17=P(A)+P(C)-P(A\cap C)$
$0.17=0.12+P(C)-0.05$
$P(C)=0.17-0.12+0.05=0.10$

Answer:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Answer:

The answer is "Option A".

Step-by-step explanation:

$\to Base= 2 \ cm\\\\\to height=3.1 \ cm\\\\$

Formula:

$\bold{Area= base \times height}\\\\$

$=2 \times 3.1 \\\\= 6.2 \ cm^2$

if the height value is 3 then area is =6
