2.5(a + 4) + 0.5a = 12.4

Mathematics
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First I distributed 2.5 into (a+4) and got (2.5a+10)+0.5a=12.4. I then combined like terms which are 2.5a and 0.5a and got 3a+10=12.4. I subtracted 10 from both sides to get rid of it and got 3a=2.4. Later, I divided 3 from both sides to get a which comes out to be 0.8.

Hope this helps you :)

Substitute u=\ln x, so that \mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x. The integral is then equivalent to

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{x\ln^px}=\int\frac{\mathrm du}{u^p}=\begin{cases}\dfrac{u^{p+1}}{p+1}+C&\text{for }p\neq1\\\\\ln|u|+C&\text{for }p=1\end{cases}

Then transforming back to x gives

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{x\ln^px}=\begin{cases}\dfrac{\ln^{p+1}x}{p+1}+C&\text{for }p\neq1\\\\\ln|\ln x|+C&\text{for }p=1\end{cases}

Solve using the substitution method.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is very simple

Since you have 2 equations with the same coefficient of x, just minus one equation from another:

          x + 3y = 13

       -      

          x + 2y = 9

                1y = 4

Sub y = 4 into any of the 2 equation,

x + 3(4) = 13

x + 12 = 13

x = 13 - 12

  = 1

(10 points)Assume IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15. Suppose a president, vice
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the binomial and the normal probability distributions.

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.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5

IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15, which means that \mu = 100, \sigma = 15

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 107.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{107.5 - 100}{15}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

Probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

First, we find the probability of a single person having an IQ of at least 130, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 130. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{130 - 100}{15}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

Now, we find the probability of at least one person, from a set of 2, having an IQ of at least 130, which is found using the binomial distribution, with p = 0.0228 and n = 2, and we want:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.9772)^{2}.(0.0228)^{0} = 0.9549

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.0451

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130?

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Independent events, so we multiply the probabilities.

0.3082*0.0451 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.
