Hey there!

The answer to your question is $-2 \frac{3}{11}$

$-2(4x+4) - 3x -2= 34$ Write the equation

$-8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34$ Distribute -2

$-11x-10 = 34$ Combine like terms

$-11x = 24$ Add 10 to both sides

$-2 \frac{3}{11}$ Divide both sides by -11

Hope it helps and have a great day!

Brainliest, what is the total measure of angles 8 and 5 of angle 7 equals 61

guapka [62]

Lines equal 180°. The line with angles 5 and 7 equals 180°. If angle 7 equals 61°, then angle 5 equals 119° (180° - 61°= 119°).

Angles 5 and 8 are opposite vertical angles, which are always congruent (equal), so angles 5 and 8 both equal 119°.

119° (angle 5) + 119° (angle 8)= 238°

ANSWER: The two angles total 238° (bottom choice).

Hope this helps! :)

2. The quality assurance department inspects its production line. The product either fails or passes the inspection. Past experi

Answer:

(a) $E(X) = 950$

(b) $COV = 0.007255$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using binomial distribution since the product either fails or passes, the probability of failure or success is fixed and there are n repeated trials.

probability of failure = q = 0.05

probability of success = p = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

number of trials = n = 1000

(a) What is the expected number of non-defective units?

The expected number of non-defective units is given by

$E(X) = n \times p \\\\E(X) = 1000 \times 0.95 \\\\E(X) = 950$

(b) what is the COV of the number of non-defective units?

The coefficient of variance is given by

$COV = \frac{\sigma}{E(X)}$

Where the standard deviation is given by

$\sigma = \sqrt{n \times p\times q} \\\\\sigma = \sqrt{1000 \times 0.95\times 0.05} \\\\\sigma = 6.892$

So the coefficient of variance is

$COV = \frac{6.892}{950}$

$COV = 0.007255$

(c) What is the probability of having more than 980 non-defective units?

We can use the Normal distribution as an approximation to the Binomial distribution since n is quite large and so is p.

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(X < 980)\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\$

We need to consider the continuity correction factor whenever we use continuous probability distribution (Normal distribution) to approximate discrete probability distribution (Binomial distribution).

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{979.5 - 950}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{29.5}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < 4.28)\\\\$
