X=y+2
x=3y
2x=4y+2
4y+2=2(y+2)
4y+2=2y+4
2y+2=4
2y=2
y=1
x=3
1+3=4

Their sum is 4

Hope this helps :)

What is the solution to the equation 41/5 =15-(2x+3)

likoan [24]

$\frac{41}{5}=15-(2x+3) \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=15-2x-3 \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=12^{(5}-2x^{(5} \\\\ 41=60-10x \\\\ 41-60=-10x \\\\ -19=-10x \\\\ 19=10x \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{19}{10}}$

The probability that a male will be colorblind is .042. Find the probabilities that in a group of 53 men, the following are true

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

$\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=5)=\binom{53}{5}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{53!}{(53-5)!*5!}(0.042)^5(0.958)^{48}\\\\P(X=5)\approx0.0478$

Part B

$P(X\leq5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\P(X\leq5)=\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^1(1-0.042)^{53-1}+\binom{53}{2}(0.042)^2(1-0.042)^{53-2}+\binom{53}{3}(0.042)^3(1-0.042)^{53-3}+\binom{53}{4}(0.042)^4(1-0.042)^{53-4}+\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X\leq5)\approx0.9767$

Part C

$\displaystyle P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq1)=1-(1-0.042)^{53}\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx1-0.1029\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx0.8971$
