What is the solution for x in the equation?

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms (so 1/2 and 3/2): 2 - x = x - 4

add x to both sides: 2 = 2x - 4

add 4 to both sides: 6 = 2x

divide both sides by 2: 3 = x

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26. a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there wil

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26.

This means that $p = 0.26$

a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures?

Five trials means that $n = 5$

4 failures, so 1 success, and we have to find P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.26)^{1}.(0.74)^{4} = 0.3898$

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Find the approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio of a bowling ball with a radius of 5 inches.

Nataly_w [17]

Surface area of a ball:
S=4πr^2=4*π*5^2=100π

Volume of a circle:
V=4/3*π*r^3=4/3*π*125=(500/3)*π=165π

The approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio would be 1:1,5

12x-4x+3+11 help me solve this problem

daser333 [38]

Answer:

8x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 4x + 3 + 11 (Subtract 12x - 4x)

8x + 3 + 11 (Add 3 + 11)

8x + 14

Tip: the like-terms 12x and 4x can be subtracted like regular numbers because they have the same variable and exponent.

A credit card company charges 18.6% percent per year interest. Compute the effective annual rate if they compound, (a) annualy,

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

a) Effective annual rate: 18.6%

b) Effective annual rate: 20.27%

c) Effective annual rate: 20.43%

d) Effective annual rate: 20.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

The effective annual interest rate, if it is not compounded continuously, is given by the formula

$I=C(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-C$

where

C = Amount of the credit granted

r = nominal interest per year

n = compounding frequency

t = the length of time the interest is applied. In this case, 1 year.

In the special case the interest rate is compounded continuously, the interest is given by

$I=Ce^{rt}-C$

(a) Annually

$I=C(1+\frac{0.186}{1})-C=C(1.186)-C=C(1.186-1)=C(0.186)$

The effective annual rate is 18.6%

(b) Monthly

There are 12 months in a year

$I=C(1+\frac{0.186}{12})^{12}-C=C(1.2027)-C=C(0.2027)$

The effective annual rate is 20.27%

(c) Daily

There are 365 days in a year

$I=C(1+\frac{0.186}{365})^{365}-C=C(1.2043)-C=C(0.2043)$

The effective annual rate is 20.43%

(d) Continuously

$I=Ce^{0.186}-C=C(1.2044)-C=C(0.2044)$

The effective annual rate is 20.44%
