Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

White - 20 marbles
DochEvi [55]

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of not being purple is the probability of the three other colors. Suppose the number of purple marbles is x. Then we have 20+30+40+x = 90 + x marbles. Then the probability of not being purple is 90/(90+x). If this fraction can have a lowest term for some value of x, then the numerator of this lowest term must be a factor of 90.

Checking through the options, only option D has a non-factor of 90 as its numerator.

USA Today reports that about 25% of all prison parolees become repeat offenders. Alice is a social worker whose job is to counse
pychu [463]

Answer:

a) P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039  

P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469  

P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211  

P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422  

P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316

b) E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3

c) Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866

d) P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75

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=4, p=1-0.25=0.75)

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!}

Part a

P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039  

P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469  

P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211  

P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422  

P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316

Part b

The expected value is givn by:

E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3

Part c

For the standard deviation we have this:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866

Part d

For this case the sample size needs to be higher or equal to 9. Since we need a value such that:

P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75

We can verify this using the following code:

"=1-BINOM.DIST(3,9,0.75,TRUE)" and we got 0.99 and the condition is satisfied.
