1 answer:
Given:
I have walked 20% of the way to school.
I have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
To find:
The distance from home to school.
Solution:
Let x be the distance from home to school.
I have already walked 20% of the way to school and i have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
It means 1200 is of the total distance from home to school.
Therefore, the distance from home to school is 2000 metres.

To solve this quadratic, use factoring:
add 5 to both sides
factor this into two binomials using factors 3 and 8 for 24
(x-3)(x-8)=0 for this to be a true statement either the first binomial factor or the second binomial factor must equal '0'..
so x=3 and x=8
Answer:
a) P(x) = 0.67
b) P(y) = 0.67
c) P(x=4) = 0.3325
d) P( x = 0 ) = 0.0039
e) The fact that the rise and fall of the stock market relies on market sentiments violates independence used in Binomial distribution and the years are independent
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The probability that the stock market will rise next year = P(x) = 0.67
assuming next year to be X
B) Probability that the stock market will rise the year after next year
= P(y) = 0.67 and this is because the probability is independent of that of the previous years
C) Probability that the stock market will rise in four of the next five years
= P(x=4) = 0.3325
D) probability that the stock market will rise in none of the next five years
= P( x = 0 ) = 0.0039
E) The fact that the rise and fall of the stock market relies on market sentiments violates independence used in Binomial distribution and the years are independent
