Let's assume the number as x .

15% of x = $\dfrac{x \times 15}{100}$

→ $\dfrac{3x}{20}$

So after reducing 15% the number will be 6154 .

→ x - 3x/20 = 6154

→ 17x/20 = 6154

→ 17x = 6154 × 20

→ 17x = 123080

→ x = 123080/17

→ x = 7240

So the number is 7240

Convert y-5=-3( x+2) in standard form

Semmy [17]

Answer:

3x + y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-5=-3( x+2)

once you distribute, you get y-5=-3x-6

then, add 5 to each side and get y=-3x-1 (this is slope intercept form)

finally, add 3x to each side to get 3x+y=-1 (standard form: Ax + By = C)

A random variable X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3. What is the probability that X P(1≤X≤3) ?.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

P(1≤X≤3) = 0.5974

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Mean of 3

This means that $\mu = 3$

P(1≤X≤3) ?

$P(1 \leq X \leq 3) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240$

$P(1 \leq X \leq 3) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.5974$

A child care center has three rooms, and the same number of children are in each room. If c children attend the center, write an

raketka [301]

Answer:

Number of children in each room = c / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of rooms in care center = 3

Number of children attend the center = c

Find:

Number of children in each room

Computation:

Number of children in each room = Number of children attend the center / Number of rooms in care center

Number of children in each room = c / 3
