Answer:

n = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{n + 5}{-16} = -1$

We want to solve for n.

Currently, it is in a fraction.

Let's get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by -16.

(n + 5) = (-1)(-16)

(n + 5) = 16

Isolate n further by subtracting 5 from both sides.

n = 16 - 5

n = 11

Let's check our answer by plugging n = 11 back into the original equation.

$\frac{n + 5}{-16} = -1$

Plug n = 11 in.

$\frac{11 + 5}{-16} = -1$

Add.

$\frac{16}{-16} = -1$

Simplify.

-1 = -1

Your answer is correct!

Hope this helps!

In a class of 25 students, 15 of them have a driver's license. If ten students are randomly selected, what is the expected numbe

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Expected number of students would have a driver's license = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given data In a class of 25 students, 15 of them have a driver's license

The sample proportion

$p = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{15}{25} = 0.6$

Let 'X' be the binomial distribution

Given sample size 'n' = 10

mean of the binomial distribution or expected number of students would have a driver's license

μ = n p

= 10 × 0.6

= 6

Conclusion:-

Expected number of students would have a driver's license = 6
