Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

If u add all 5 puppies ages together including the 7 week old one it will equal 45 divide that by 5 and you get an average of 9 weeks.

Suppose a friend is having difficulty solving -2(q-5) > -3(q+1). Explain how to solve the inequality, showing all the necessa

IgorC [24]

Firstly, use the distributive property of multiplication (A(B + C) = A×B + A×C) on -2(q - 5) and -3(q + 1): $-2q+10>-3q-3$

Next, apply the addition property of equality (whatever you add to one side you have to add the same quantity to the other), and add 3q on both sides: $q+10>-3$

Lastly, apply the subtraction property of equality (whatever you subtract on one side you have to subtract the same amount on the other side), and subtract 10 on both sides. <u>Your final answer will be $q>-13$ </u>

Which expression is equivalent to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) Superscript one-half?

Phantasy [73]

The expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) is x Superscript one-eighth Baseline y Superscript 8.

<h3>What is an Expression?</h3>

In mathematics, an expression is defined as a set of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations formed according to rules dependent on the context.

The expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) can be found by simplifying the given algebraic equation,

$(x^{\frac14}y^{16})^{\frac12}\\\\=x^{(\frac14 \times \frac12)} \times y^{(16 \times \frac12)}\\\\= x^{\frac18}y^{8}$

Hence, the expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) is x Superscript one-eighth Baseline y Superscript 8.

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failuresif a success is 5 or 6.

erastova [34]

Answer:

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a failure is obtained, or a success is obtained. Trials are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

A success is 5 or 6.

A dice has 6 sides, numbered 1 to 6. Since a success is 5 or 6, the other 4 numbers are failures, and the probability of failure is:

$p = \frac{4}{6} = 0.6667$

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.

This means that $n = 10$

Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

This is:

$P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

So

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

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.6667)^{8}.(0.3333)^{2} = 0.1951$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.6667)^{9}.(0.3333)^{1} = 0.0867$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.6667)^{10}.(0.3333)^{0} = 0.0174$

Then

$P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1951 + 0.0867 + 0.0174 = 0.2992$

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.
