The question has omitted  options but i will solve, so you will just check my answer from the options you have.

Answer: The equation  to find the value of x = 3x+ 2= 5x-4

The value of x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The sum of 3 times the value of x and 2 is equal to four less than five times the value of x can be expressed as

3x+ 2= 5x-4

Step 2

Solving this equation  to find the value of x , we have that

3x+ 2= 5x-4

3x-5x= -4-2

-2x= -6

x= -6/-2

x=3

A genetics experiment involves a population of fruit flies consisting of 1 male named Bart and 3 females named Charlene, Diana,
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(b) \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1 male named Bart (b)

3 females named Charlene(c), Diana(d), and Erin(e).

Since there is replacement, the possible samples are:

bb, bc, be, bd, cb, cc, cd, ce, db, dc, dd, de, eb, ec, ed, and ee.

Total Number of pairs = 16

Event of picking 2 males:bb

Event of 1 male:bc,cb,bd,db,be,eb

Event of picking 0 males:

cc, cd, ce, dc, dd, de, ec, ed, and ee.

\begin{equation*} \begin{matrix}Proportion of males & Probability \\0 & 9/16 \\1 & 6/16 \\2 & 1/16 \end{matrix} \end{equation*}

b. The mean of the sampling distribution

\mu = (\frac{9}{16} X0 ) +(\frac{6}{16} X 1)+(\frac{1}{16} X 2) = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}

c.  No; the proportion of males is \frac{1}{4} while the mean is \frac{1}{2}.

B. No, the sample mean is not equal to the population proportion of males. These values are not always equal, because proportion is an unbiased estimator.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

300 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original amount = x

x - 2/5x  was what his mother's share looked.

5/5 x - 2/5 x

3/5x is what is left.

3/5 x - 1/4 * 3/5 x - 2/3x * 3/5 = his sister's share and his brothers

3/5x - 1/4*3/5 x - 2/3 * 3/5 = 15

3/5x * (1 - 1/4 - 2/3) = 15

3/5 x 5/60 = 15

15 / 300 * x = 15

1/20  x = 15

x = 15 * 20

x = 300

Consider an election with 681 votes a) If there are 5 candidates, what is the smallest number of first-place votes a candidate c
joja [24]

Answer:

137 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election

dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates

= 681 / 5 = 136.2  hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method  would be = 137 votes

136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )

136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680

hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1

least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes
