Answer:

$x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 2 - 6 to -4.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(3 + 1 \times x - 2)$

2) Simplify 1 × x to x.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(3 + x - 2)$

3) Simplify 3 + x - 2 to x + 1.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(x + 1)$

4) Simplify 2x × -4 to -8x.

$- 8x = 4(x + 1)$

5) Divide both sides by 4.

$- 2x = x + 1$

6) Subtract x from both sides.

$- 2x - x = 1$

7) Simplify -2x - x to -3x.

$- 3x = 1$

8) Divide both sides by -3.

$x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Therefor, the answer is x = -1/3.

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if you distribute and simplify:

4x-12 = 12+4x-8

4x-12 = 4x+4

-12 ≠ 4

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1.76% probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

The arrivals of clients at a service firm in Santa Clara is a random variable from Poisson distribution with rate 2 arrivals per hour.

This means that $\mu = 2$

What is the probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

Either 5 or less clients arrive, or more than 5 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1$

We want P(X > 5). So

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)$

In which

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2707$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2707$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1804$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0902$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0361$

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1353 + 0.2702 + 0.2702 + 0.1804 + 0.0902 + 0.0361 = 0.9824$

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9824 = 0.0176$

1.76% probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive
