Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-40x + 8y = -24

 3x  -  8y = 24

-37x = 0

x = 0

0 + y = -3

y = -3

(0, -3)

Answer:

I will show you how to solve for x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -3

3x - 8y = 24

You can isolate y in the first equation, and substitute that into the second equation.

so to isolate y in -5x + y = -3, you would add 5x to both sides

this gives you y = 5x - 3

Then substitute this y into the equation below.

3x - 8(5x-3) = 24    <u> (this way, the y variable disappears)</u>

then distribute the 8 into the bracket

3x - 40x + 24 = 24

combine the variables

-37x + 24 = 24

isolate x by moving the constants to one side

-37x = 0

so x = 0

I am not sure if you want the rest, but here it is.

substitute x = 0 into one of the equations.

-5x + y = -3

-5(0) + y = -3

y = -3

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly​ selected, 42​% use them in meetings or classes. If 5 adult smartphone use
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 2 of 5 use their smartphones in meetings or classes is 0.3442.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of adults who use smartphones in meetings or classes.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is, P(X) = <em>p</em> = 0.42

A sample of <em>n</em> = 5 adult smartphone users are selected.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

Compute the value of P (X = 2) as follows:

P(X=2)={5\choose 2}0.42^{2}(1-0.42)^{5-2}\\=10\times 0.1764\times0.195112\\=0.344177\\\approx0.3442

Thus, the probability that exactly 2 of 5 use their smartphones in meetings or classes is 0.3442.
