Answer:

  -4 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. Then the problem statement tells us ...

  x^2 -2x = 28+x

  x^2 -3x = 28 . . . . . subtract x

  x^2 -3x +2.25 = 30.25 . . . . add the square of half the x coefficient

  (x -1.5)^2 = 30.25 . . . . . . . . write the left side as a square

  x -1.5 = ±5.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  x = 1.5 ±5.5 = {-4, 7} . . . . . . . add 1.5

The number may be either -4 or 7.

The nth term of 50, 80, 110 is...
Olenka [21]

Answer:

a_n=50+(n-1)30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given series is,

50,80,110....

First term, a = 50

Common difference, d = 80-50 = 30

We need to find the nth term of the given sequence.

The nth term of an AP is given by :

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Put a = 50 and d = 30 in the above formula

a_n=50+(n-1)30

Hence, the nth term of the sequence is a_n=50+(n-1)30.

Acceptance Sampling Random sampling from a large lot of manufactured items yields a number of defective items X with an approxim
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let β = np, n= 5 and p= 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.9 and 1

x > a, a= 0

The probability of an item inspected, P(x) = β∧x*e∧-β/x!

a) For x= 1: β = 5 X 0 = 0

P(x=1) = 0

For x = 2: β = 5 X 0.1 = 0.5

P(x=2) = 0.5²*e∧-0.5/2!

For x = 3: β = 5 X 0.3 = 1.5

P(x=3) = 1.5³*e∧-1.5/3!

For x =4: β = 5 X 0.5 = 2.5

P(x=4) = 2.5∧4*e∧-2.5/4!

For x = 5: β = 5 X 0.9 = 4.5

P(x=5) = 4.5∧5*e∧-4.5/5!

For x= 6: β = 5 X 1 = 5

P(x= 6) = 5∧6*e∧-5/6!

b) For plan1, x = 1: β + 10 X 0.1 = 1

P(x=1) = e∧-1/1! = 1/e = 1/2.718 = 0.368

For plan2, x=20: β = 100 X 0.1 = 10

P(x=20) = 10∧20*e∧-10/20!

Plan 2 is preferable because the probability of success is very small and the number of trial is comparatively large, hence, the poisson distribution will be suitable probability model.

d) Plan 1 is prefered instead, because the probability of success is larger and more profit is made.

e) Plen 2 is prefered, because it will be cheaper to afford.

4(1+0.5m)=7m what is m?
tatyana61 [14]

1 Expand


4+2m=7m



2 Subtract 2m from both sides

4=7m−2m



3 Simplify 7m−2m to 5m


4=5m




4 Divide both sides by


4/5=m




5 Switch sides


m=4/5
