Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of finding 4 or more, so first, you must add up all of the teenagers that have 4 or more shoes. Both the 4 and 5 categories fit, so add 20 and 10. Then, find the total number of people in the sample size. Overall, 100 teenagers are represented. Finally, put the number of people that have 4 or more shoes, 30, over the sample size, 100. This equals 30/100 which should be simplified to 3/10.

1/3 (x + 4 ) = 20 wt the answer

sashaice [31]

Answer:

x = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20

We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3

1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)

1/3x = 56/3

The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.

56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)

So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56

A truck can be rented from Company A for $70 a day plus $0.50 per mile. Company B charges $20 a day plus $0.60 per mile to r

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of renting a truck from Company A can be expressed as;

Total rental cost(Company A)=Cost per day+Total rate

where;

Cost per day=70

Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.5×m)=0.5 m

replacing;

Total rental cost(Company A)=70+0.5 m...equation 1

2. The total cost of renting a truck from Company B can be expressed as;

Total rental cost(Company B)=Cost per day+Total rate

where;

Cost per day=20

Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.6×m)=0.6 m

replacing;

Total rental cost(Company B)=20+0.6 m...equation 2

Equating equation 1 to equation 2

70+0.5 m=20+0.6 m

0.6 m-0.5 m=70-20

0.1 m=50

m=50/0.1

m=500 miles

The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles

Answer:

0.1324 = 13.24% probability that no less than 96 out of 145 people will not get the flu this winter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
