When dividing an inequality with a negative value , the inequality sign changes direction.
The original Less than or equal to sign should heave been changed to greater than or equal to.
The answer is: When dividing by −8, she did not change the direction of the sign.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the unknown number
double it :
2x
add 11:
2x + 11
I get 25:
The equation is
2x + 11 = 25
2x = 25 - 12
2x = 14
Divide both sides by 2
x = 14/2
x = 7
Answer: 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 70 cookies in total.
The gingerbread cookies number 28.
The percentage that are gingerbread will therefore be:
= Number of gingerbread/ Total number of cookies * 100%
= 28 / 70 * 100%
= 40%
Answer:
3 pieces left over
Step-by-step explanation:
Laurie has a total of 45 pieces of candy, if she has 6 friends, you can do

each friend can get 7 pieces of candy

if each friend gets 7 pieces, you have used 42 pieces out of you total 45

which leaves 3 pieces left over.
Answer:
a) 0.96
b) 0.016
c) 0.018
d) 0.982
e) x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the Probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 where x > 1.
<em>Firstly we will calculate the general probability that of P(a < X < b) </em>
P(a < X < b) =
=
=
{ Because
}
=
=
=
=
a) Now P(X < 5) = P(1 < X < 5) {because x > 1 }
Comparing with general probability we get,
P(1 < X < 5) =
=
= 0.96 .
b) P(X > 8) = P(8 < X < ∞) = 1/
- 1/∞ = 1/64 - 0 = 0.016
c) P(6 < X < 10) =
=
= 0.018 .
d) P(x < 6 or X > 10) = P(1 < X < 6) + P(10 < X < ∞)
=
+ (1/
- 1/∞) = 1 - 1/36 + 1/100 + 0 = 0.982
e) We have to find x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 ;
⇒ P(1 < X < x) = 0.75
⇒
= 0.75
⇒
= 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
⇒
=
⇒
= 4 ⇒ x =
Therefore, value of x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 is 2.
