Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Solve for x:

-3x(x-8)-7x=12

-3x^2+24x-7x=12

-3x^2+17x+12=0

Can you factor it further?Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only

Karolina [17]

donuts and cream puffs were 45 & 4 respectively !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts We need to find how many donuts and cream puffs were there . Let's find out:

Let number of donuts and cream puffs are x & y respectively ! So ,
