II. We learned in Exercise 3.25 that about 70% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008. We now consider a random

Answer:

You would expect for 35 people to have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they consumed alcoholic beverages, or they did not. The probability of a person having consumed alcoholic beverage is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

We learned in Exercise 3.25 that about 70% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008.

This means that p = 0.7

We now consider a random sample of fifty 18-20 year olds.

This means that n = 50

How many people would you expect to have consumed alcoholic beverages

E(X) = np = 50*0.7 = 35

You would expect for 35 people to have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Which expression is equivalent to 6x+7-12*2-(3 to the power 2 +3)-x
kow [346]

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions about equivalent expressions usually feature both simple expressions and complex expressions. To check which complex expression is equivalent to the simple expression:

Distribute any coefficients: a(bx\pm c)=abx\pm aca(bx±c)=abx±aca, left parenthesis, b, x, plus minus, c, right parenthesis, equals, a, b, x, plus minus, a, c.

Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: xxx-terms with xxx-terms and constants with constants.

Arrange the terms in the same order, usually xxx-term before constants.

If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.

Example

How do we solve for unknown coefficients?

Some questions will present us with an equation with algebraic expressions on both sides. On one side, there will be an unknown coeffient, and the question will ask us to find its value.

For the equation to be true for all values of the variable, the two expressions on each side of the equation must be equivalent. For example, if ax+b=cx+dax+b=cx+da, x, plus, b, equals, c, x, plus, d for all values of xxx, then:

aaa must equal ccc.

bbb must equal ddd.

To find the value of unknown coefficients:

Distribute any coefficients on each side of the equation.

Combine any like terms on each side of the equation.

Set the coefficients on each side of the equation equal to each other.

Solve for the unknown coefficient.

Example

How do we rearrange formulas?

Formulas are equations that contain 222 or more variables; they describe relationships and help us solve problems in geometry, physics, etc.

Since a formula contains multiple variables, sometimes we're interested in writing a specific variable in terms of the others. For example, the formula for the area, AAA, for a rectangle with length lll and width www is A=lwA=lwA, equals, l, w. It's easy to calculate AAA using the formula if we know lll and www. However, if we know AAA and www and want to calculate lll, the formula that best helps us with that is an equation in which lll is in terms of AAA and www, or l=\dfrac{A}{w}l=

w

A

l, equals, start fraction, A, divided by, w, end fraction.

Just as we can add, subtract, multiply, and divide constants, we can do so with variables. To isolate a specific variable, perform the same operations on both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated. The new equation is equivalent to the original equation.

A missing fraction on a number line is located exacly halfway between 3/6 and 5/6. What is the missing fraction?
kap26 [50]
The missing number would be 4/6, or 2/3.

The missing number can be found by finding the absolute distance in between the numbers, dividing it and then adding it to the smaller number.

(5/6-3/6)/2=(2/6)/2=1/6
3/6+1/6=4/6 or 2/3
