Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4

What's (X+3 (X+5) it's really confusing me and I need some help please

notsponge [240]

Well when you see parentheses set up like these together that automatically means to multiply. The solution is:
Apply the FOIL method: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd
x2+5x+3x+15
Simplify
x2+8x+15

A center for medical services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other services. For this group, 4

pshichka [43]

Answer:

a) 0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

b) 0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

c) 0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

Step-by-step explanation:

For each appeal, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is succesful, or it is not. The probability of an appeal being succesful is independent of other appeals, so we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

45% of first-round appeals were successful.

This means that $p = 0.45$

Suppose 10 first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.

This means that $n = 10$

(a) Compute the probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.45)^{0}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.0025$

0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

(b) Compute the probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.45)^{1}.(0.55)^{9} = 0.0207$

0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

(c) What is the probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

This is $P(X \geq 2)$

Either less than two appeals are succesful, or at least two are. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0025 + 0.0207 = 0.0232$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.0232 = 0.9768$

0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

HELP ME PLEASE ASAP!

givi [52]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually triangles equal 180 so if that's the case then you just add all of the angles together and set it equal to 180. So your equation should be 50+ 2x+ 3x-10= 180 and then solve that equation and you will end up with x=28. Hope this helped!!
