3 0

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = - 5x + 1,  h(x) = - 4

- 4 = - 5x + 1

- 5 = - 5x

x = 1

Solve the system of equations by elimination <br> 3x+4y=31<br> 2x-4y=-6
ANEK [815]
3x + 4y = 31
2x - 4y = -6

*The +4 and -4 in the center of the equation cancel out because 4-4 = 0*

3x = 31
2x = -6
------------

*add like terms*

3x + 2x = 5x

31 - 6 = 25

So now you should have this written on your paper ... > 5x = 25

*Divide by 5 on each side*

5x = 25

Solve |2x - 1| + 3 = 6.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

x =2                         x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 1| + 3 = 6.

Subtract 3 from each side

|2x - 1| + 3-3 = 6-3

|2x - 1|= 3

An absolute value has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2x-1 =3                   2x -1 = -3

Add 1 to all sides

2x-1+1 =3+1             2x-1+1 = -3+1

2x = 4                      2x =-2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2                 2x/2 = -2/2

x =2                         x = -1

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a. f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c.  the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e.  86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let  X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability  density function can now be determined as :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A

where A and B  are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The  probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}

F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)

P(X\geq11) = 0.2857

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.2857*}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.8571

NOW; The Number of iPad  that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours
