The residents of a city voted on whether or not to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 3. If there

were 1716 no votes, what was the total number of votes?

The answer would be 13,728 because you have to multiply 1716 by 3 and multiply 1716 by 4 and add them, then add 1716 and get 13,728.

Answer:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.05)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 2)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

11. If f(x)=4x-9, what is the equation for f^-1(x)?

FrozenT [24]

F(x) = 4x - 9

let f(x) = y, this implies that x = f⁻¹(y)

y = 4x - 9 Let us solve for x.

4x - 9 = y

4x = y + 9

x = (y + 9)/4

Recall that x = f⁻¹(y),

x = (y + 9)/4

f⁻¹(y) = (y + 9)/4

That means that for f⁻¹(x)

f⁻¹(x) = (x + 9)/4

Hope this explains it.

The expression represents the cost of Janelle’s cell phone bill, where m represents the number of minutes of use. 0.05m + 12 Wha

inn [45]

Answer:

The constant in the expression is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of the expression is the value that is independent of the number of minutes Janelle uses. The expression can be written as :

f(m)=0.05m +12

Example if m is 1 or 2

f(1) = 0.05(1) +12 = 12.05

f(2= = 0.05*2 +12 =0.1 +12 = 12.1

The value 12 is the minimum price of the bill indepent of the consumption of minutes of Janelle. She will always be charged this value.
