Chase has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to create 1.13 t

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Well the way I see it is he started with 4 villager so I would see the equation to be

1.13x times 17+4 would equal the amount of villagers he could have which would be 23.21 as for the equation it would be 1.13x times 17 plus four equals the number of villagers total

Approximately 5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect. Fifty calculators are randomly selected from t

baherus [9]

Answer:

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each calculator, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a calculator being defective is independent of any other calculator, 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.

5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect.

This means that $p = 0.05$

Fifty calculators are randomly selected from the production line and tested for defects.

This means that $n = 50$

What is the probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective?

This is P(X = 2). So

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{48} = 0.2611$

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

Manuela solved the equation 3−2|0.5x 1.5|=2 for one solution. her work is shown below. 3−2|0.5x 1.5|=2 −2|0.5x 1.5|=−1 |0.5x 1.5

irakobra [83]

The other solution to the absolute value equation 3 − 2|0.5x + 1.5| = 2 is x = -4

<h3>How to determine the solution?</h3>

The equation is given as:

3 − 2|0.5x + 1.5| = 2

Subtract 3 from both sides

-2|0.5x + 1.5| = -1

Divide both sides by -2

|0.5x + 1.5| = 0.5

Expand the equation

0.5x + 1.5 = 0.5 or 0.5x + 1.5 = -0.5

Subtract 1.5 from both sides

0.5x = -1 or 0.5x = -2

Divide both sides by 0.5

x = -2 or x = -4

Hence, the other solution to the absolute value equation 3 − 2|0.5x + 1.5| = 2 is x = -4

jane is twice as old as Barbara. Michael is 7 years older than Jane. If Michael is 21, which equation could be used to find Barb

dedylja [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

J = 2b

M = J + 7

M = 21

J = 21 - 7

J = 14

B = 7

<em>Equation:</em>

If M is J+7, so then J = 21-7. J is 2*b, so 2*b = 21-7. Then you subtract and divide.
