Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5=3x+4

-4 -4

2x+1=3x

-2x -2x

1=-x

1/-1 =-x/-1

-1=x

A simple die is thrown 100 times and the number five appears 14 times. Find the experimental probability of throwing a five, giv

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The experimental probability of throwing a five is 0.087.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of trials (n) = 100

Number of times 5 appears (x) = 14

Let the event of occurrence of 5 be success and the probability represented by 'p'. So, all the other numbers occurrence is failure and its probability is represented as 'q'.

Probability of success is given as:

$p=\frac{Number\ of\ favorable\ events}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}$

Favorable event is occurrence of 5. So, its number is 1 as there is only one 5 in the die. Total outcomes are 6 as there are six numbers. So,

$p=\frac{1}{6}$

Now, probability of failure is given by the formula:

$q=1-p=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$

Now in order to find the experimental probability of 14 successes out of 100 trials, we apply Bernoulli's theorem which is given as:

$P(x) = ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}$

Plug in all the given values and find the probability of 14 successes. This gives,

$P(x=14)=^{100}C_{14}(\frac{1}{6})^{14}(\frac{5}{6})^{100-14}\\\\P(x=14)=0.087$

Therefore, the experimental probability of throwing a five is 0.087.

Help! Need by 10:30 to turn in and I'm confused!

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

8 boxes of tissues

5 bags of cough drops

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write a system of equations.

x = number of tissue boxes

y = number of cough drop bags

x (number of tissue boxes) + y (number of cough drop bags) = 13 (total number of tissues and cough drops combined.

So, your first equation is

x + y = 13

Then, you need to write the second equation.

(1.69 [cost of 1 tissue box] * [number of tissue boxes]) + (1.19 [cost of one bag of cough drops] * [number of cough drop bags] = 19.47 [total cost of tissues and cough drops]

That's a lot to read, so here's the equation simplified!

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you have two equations:

x + y = 13

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

I would solve with the substitution method.

the first equation can be changed to x = 13 - y by subtracting y from both sides.

Then, your two equations are:

x = 13 - y

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you can plug in that value of x into the second equation!

1.69(13 - y) + 1.19y = 19.47

21.97 - 1.69y + 1.19y = 19.47

subtract 21.97 from both sides

-1.69y + 1.19y = -2.5

Add the y values

-0.5y = -2.5

divide both sides by -0.5

so, y equals 5 bags of cough drops

now that you know what y equals, plug it back into your original equation to find x!

x + y = 13

plug in y

x + 5 = 13

x = 8

so, x = 8 boxes of tissues

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
