Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

5x + 3 - 2x = 12 + 7x - 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = 7x + 10
[SPE] Subtract 3x on both sides: 3 = 4x + 10
[SPE] Subtract 10 on both sides: -7 = 4x
[DPE] Divide 4 on both sides: -7/4 = x
Rewrite: x = -7/4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(-7/4) + 3 - 2(-7/4) = 12 + 7(-7/4) - 2
Multiply: -35/4 + 3 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
Add: -23/4 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
Add: -9/4 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
Subtract: -9/4 = -1/4 - 2
Subtract: -9/4 = -9/4

Here we see that -9/4 does indeed equal -9/4.

∴ x = -7/4 is the solution to the equation.

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

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".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$
