What is y? ( thank you for anyone who helps)

Evaluate 2b + c<br> for b = 5 and c = 5<br> Please help

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

2(5)+5=15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. you have the equation 2b+c

2. then you add the numbers for c and b

3. so b=5 and c=5

4. once you add it into the problem then you get 2(5)+5 make sure you remember to times 2 x 5

5. then you do PEMDAS

6. you do multiply so 2x5 is 10

7. then do 10+5 and you get 15 as your answer.

Eight times a number plus five times another number is -13. The sum of the number is 1. What are the nymber?

azamat

Answer:

x=-6 y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=-13; x+y=1

Isolate x and substitute

(-13-5y)/8 +y=1

Isolate y

y=7

substitute y=7

(-13-5*7)/8=-6

Stephanie is a taxi driver. She rents her taxi for $300/week. She feels she can take in $120/day in fares. Let D be the number o

Lesechka [4]

Answer: a. (0, -300), (1, -180), (2, -60), (7, 540)

b. T=120D-300

c. $28080

Step-by-step explanation:

a. T=120D-300 ==> per week

D=0: T=120(0)-300

D=0: T=-300 ==> (0, -300)

D=1: T=120(1)-300

D=1: T=120-300

D=1: T=-180 ==> (1, -180)

D=2: T=120(2)-300

D=2: T=240-300

D=2: T=-60 ==> (2, -60)

D=7: T=120(7)-300

D=7: T=840-300

D=7: T=540 ==> (7, 540)

b. T=120D-300

c. T=120(7)-300

T=840-300

T=$540 per week

1 year = 52 weeks

540*52=$28080

The Center for Medicare and Medical Services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other Part A Medic

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a) 0.00605

(b) 0.0403

(c) 0.9536

(d) 0.98809

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 40% of first-round appeals were successful (The Wall Street Journal, October 22, 2012) and suppose ten first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.

This situation can be represented through Binomial distribution as;

$P(X=r)= \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 10

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is % of first-round

appeals that were successful, i.e.; 40%

So, here X ~ $Binom(n=10,p=0.40)$

(a) Probability that none of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0}$

= $1*0.6^{10}$ = 0.00605

(b) Probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 1)

P(X = 1) = $\binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= $10*0.4^{1} *0.6^{10-1}$ = 0.0403

(c) Probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful = P(X>=2)

P(X >= 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

= 1 - $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0} - \binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= 1 - 0.00605 - 0.0403 = 0.9536

(d) Probability that more than half of the appeals will be successful = P(X > 0.5)

For this probability we will convert our distribution into normal such that;

X ~ N( $\mu = n*p=4,\sigma^{2}= n*p*q = 2.4$ )

and standard normal z has distribution as;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

P(X > 0.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{0.5-4}{\sqrt{2.4} }$ ) = P(Z > -2.26) = P(Z < 2.26) = 0.98809
