<h2>5 grams</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Information :

Mass of a stack of nickels = 45g

No of nickels in a stack = 9 nickels

Mass of one nickel = ?

Let the mass of one nickel be x

$9 \: nickels = 45g \\ 1 \: nickels = xg$

Cross Multiply

$9x = 45$

Divide both sides of the equation by 9

$\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{45}{9}$

Simplify

$x = 5$

Answer:

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

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

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

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Answer:

x - 4(x - 2) = -37

x - 4x + 8 = -37

-5x = -37 - 8

-5x = -45
