Answer:

ADD them

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/5+ 5 1/4 is 19/20

If you were subtracting the fractions your answer would be different (look at attachment)

Answer:

To find the difference of the weights, you must subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.

First, we want to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions

5 1/4 = 20/4 + 1/4 = 21/4

11 1/5 = 55/5 + 1/5 = 56/5

Now, we make the denominator for both to be equal to 20, and subtract to get the answer: 119/20, or about 5.95 pounds.

Let me know if this helps!

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(2), substitute x = 2 into f(x), that is

f(2) = 2(2)² - 5(2) = 2(4) - 10 = 8 - 10 = - 2 → A

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components arerandomly selected. Find the probability tha

solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components are randomly selected. Find the probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

First six not defective, each with 0.98 probability.

7th defective, with 0.02 probability. So

$p = (0.98)^6*0.02 = 0.0177$

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

Find the expected number and variance of the number of components tested before a defective component is found.

Inverse binomial distribution, with $p = 0.02$

Expected number before 1 defective(n = 1). So

$E = \frac{n}{p} = \frac{1}{0.02} = 50$

Variance is:

$V = \frac{np}{(1-p)^2} = \frac{0.02}{(1-0.02)^2} = 0.0208$

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Set up a proprtion and cross multiply.

18/7.5=22/4x+1

7.5×22=18 (4x+1)
165=72x+18
