Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

They are put in ratio form so

$\frac{2x + 1}{15} = \frac{x - 1}{7}$

so crisscross them

7 (2x+1)=15 (x-1)

14x+7=15x-15(collect the like terms)

14x-15x=-15-7

-x=-22 (divide both sides by -1 to find x)

x=22

(2 x + 1):15=(x-1):7
7(2x+1)=15(x-1)
14x+7=15x-15
14x-15x=-15-7
-x=-22
x=22

Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 117 and a standard deviation of 9.6. If 144 people a

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mean blood pressure be = x

Pr ( x < 119 ) can be found using ' z value ' = ( x - u ) ÷ ( s / √n ) ; where x = 119 , u = mean = 117 , n = no. of sample items = 144 , s = standard deviation = 9.6

z = (119 - 117) ÷ (9.6 / 144) = -2 ÷ (9.6 / 12) = -2 / 0.8 → z = 2.5

Pr (x < 119) = P (z < 2.5)

P = 0.9938

500 students. if 200 students= 40% and you need to find the full 100% they you would add another 200 students or 40% and then you would add another 100 students or 20%. when you add all them up you get 40%+40%+20%= 100% and 200+200+100=500.

A baseball team has 4 pitchers, who only pitch, and 16 other players, all of whom can play any position other than pitcher. F

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

First 8 batters

8 players from a set of 16. So

$P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400$

Last batter:

Any of the four pitchers.

How many different batting orders may occur?

4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
