|–2x| = -6

=> 2x = 6  

=> x = 3 

and,

=> 2x = -6

=> x = -3.

Two points, one at negative 3 and one at 3.

One strange phenomenon that sometimes occurs at U.S. airport security gates is that an otherwise law-abiding passenger is caught
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

c. 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are caught with a gun, or they are not. The probability of a passenger being caught with a gun is independent from other passengers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 3000000, p = 0.00001

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 3000000*0.00001 = 30

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{3000000*0.00001*(1-0.00001)} = 5.48

What is the probability that tomorrow more than 35 domestic passengers will accidentally get caught with a gun at the airport?

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{35 - 30}{5.48}

Z = 0.91

Z = 0.91 has a pvalue of 0.8186

1 - 0.8186 = 0.1814.

The closest answer is:

c. 0.16

The speed of a stream is 4 mph. A boat travels 8 miles upstream in the same time it takes to travel 16 miles downstream. what is
sasho [114]

The speed of the stream = 4 mph.

Let us assume speed of the boat in still water = x mph.

Total speed upstream = (x-4) mph.

Total speed downstream = (x+4) mph.

We know,  time, speed and distance relation.

Time = Distance / Speed.

Total time taken upstream = 8 / (x-4)

Total time taken downstream = 16/(x+4).

<em>Time taken upstream = time taken downstream.</em>

Therefore,

8 / (x-4)  =  16/(x+4).

On cross multiplication, we get

16(x-4) = 8(x+4).

16x - 64 = 8x +32.

Adding 64 on both sides, we get

16x - 64+64 = 8x +32+64

16x = 8x + 96.

Subtracting 8x from both sides, we get

16x-8x = 8x-8x + 96.

8x = 96.

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x = 12.

<h3>Therefore, 12 mph is the speed of the boat in still water.</h3>
