Answer:

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply the question a little by finding what percent of the original Wesley is currently reading. Instead of saying 65% fewer, we can say he is reading 35% of what he used to read

Now we need to set up a proportion to solve the problem.

35% of 20

35/100=x/20

Cross multiply

35x20=700

700/100=7

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

To Rationalize the denominator of 5-√7/9-√14, you should multiply the expression by which fractions?
beks73 [17]

<u>Answer</u>

9+√14


<u>Explanation</u>

To Rationalize the denominator of 5-√7/9-√14.

To rationalize this we multiply both the denominator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

The denominator is 9-√14 and its conjugate is (9+√14).

(5-√7)/(9-√14) = (5-√7)(9+√14)/(9-√14)(9+√14)

                        =  (5-√7)(9+√14)/(9²-14)

                       = (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - √98)/(81-14)

                        =  (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - √98)/67

                        = (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - 7√2)67

This is the rationalized expression.  

The denominator is (9-√14) and its conjugate is (9+√14).

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The 0 and 1 outcomes would be considered unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define as usual outcomes, the ones that fall between \bar{x}\pm 3s.

According to a binomial distribution, s value is

s=\sqrt{n*p*(1-p)}\\s=\sqrt{8*0.65*(1-0.65)}\\s=\sqrt{1.82}=1.35

The expected value out of a 8 people sample is

\bar{x}=p*n=0.65*8=5.2\\

Then, our interval of usual values lies between

\bar{x}- 3s\leq x \leq \bar{x} +3s\\\\5.20-3*1.35\leq x \leq 5.20+3*1.35\\1.15\leq x \leq 9.25

We can conclude that 0 and 1 (the results that lie outside of the interval) are unusual.

Ms. Smith puts a variety of wrapped
marusya05 [52]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the number of students that would be expected to select a gold-wrapped candy  from the bag is given by:

  • B. 5 students

The candies are chosen with replacement, which means that for each student, the probability of choosing a gold wrapped candy is independent of any other student, hence the binomial distribution is used.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution?</h3>
  • The <em>binomial distribution</em> is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial</u>.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem:

  • There are 15 students, hence n = 15.
  • Of a totlal of 5 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 12 candies, 4 are gold wrapped, hence p = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Then, the <em>expected value</em> is:

E(X) = np = 15\times \frac{1}{3} = 5

Hence, option B is correct.
