Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8

2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8

2x - 4x + 12 = -8 + 5x - 8

2x - 4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8

-7x + 12 = -16

-7x = -16 -12

-7x = -28

x = -28/-7

x = 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4x+12=5x-16

12-2x=5x-16

12+16=5x+2x

28=7x

4=x

A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (dents, scratches, paint chips, etc.). While

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car = 0.64

standard deviation = 0.93(approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

7% had exactly three, 11% exactly two, and 21% only one defect in cars.

Let X be no of defects in a car

P(X=3) = .07 , P(X=2) = .11 , P(X=3) = .21

P(X=0 ) = 1 - .07 - .11 - .21 = 0.61

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car =

E(X) = $\nu$ = $= \sum X P(X) =3\times 0.07 + 2\times0.11 + 3\times0.21 + 0\times0.61$ = 0.64

$\sigma^{2}$ = variation of E(X) = $\sum (X - \nu) ^{2}P(X)$ = $(3 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.07 + (2 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.11 + (1 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.21 + (0 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61$

= $(2.36) ^{2}\times0.07 + (1.36) ^{2}\times0.11 + (.36) ^{2}\times0.21 + ( 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61$ = 0.8704

standard deviation = $\sqrt{\sigma^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{0.8704^{2}}$ = 0.93(approximately)
