Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

Subtract 2b by both sides which gets -b+4=-5 then subtract 4 by both sides so you get -b=-9 and divide -1 by both sides so that b=9

A sample of 30 distance scores measured in yards has a mean of 7, a variance of 16, and a standard deviation of 4. You want to c
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

21, 144, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sample of 30 distance scores measured in yards has a mean of 7, a variance of 16, and a standard deviation of 4.

Let X be the distance in yard.

i.e. each entry of x is multiplied by 3.

New mean variance std devition would be

E(3x) = 3E(x) = 21

Var (3x) = 3^2 Var(x) = 9(16) =144

Std dev (3x) = \sqrt{144 } =12

Thus we find mean and std devition get multiplied by 3, variance is multiplied by 9

If X is a random variable denoting number of defective items, which discrete probability distribution is appropriate
Lesechka [4]

Considering that for each item, there are only two possible outcomes, and the probability of an item being defective is independent of any other item, the binomial distribution is appropriate.

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

It is the probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
