Answer:

( 2×8) - [ ( 5 + 15 ) ÷ 5] = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Given equation = 2x18-5+15/5=32

First we multiply first two letters,

then ( 2 × 18) = 36

Now, we add 5 and 15 then divide it by 5,

So, ( 5 + 15 ) ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Now we subtract 4 from 36,

Then 36 - 4 = 32

Hence the correct parentheses = ( 2×8) - [ ( 5 + 15 ) ÷ 5] = 32

Answer:

1. The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2. The 55th percentile is 26.38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 26 and standard deviation 3.

This means that $\mu = 26, \sigma = 3$

1 Find the probability that x will be more than 25.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 26}{3}$

$Z = -0.333$

$Z = -0.333$ has a p-value of 0.3695.

1 - 0.3695 = 0.6305.

The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2 Find the 55th percentile of x.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.55, so X when Z = 0.125.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.125 = \frac{X - 26}{3}$

$X - 26 = 0.125*3$

$Z = 26.38$

The 55th percentile is 26.38.

A bowl has 3 red beads and 7 blue beads. Two beads are selected at random one at a time. First a red bead is drawn and placed on

IceJOKER [234]

The probability that first a red bead is drawn and next a blue bead is drawn is 7/30,and both events are dependent

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The distribution of the beads are:

Red = 3

Blue = 7

Total = 10

The probability of selecting the red bead first is:

P(Red) = 3/10

When the red bead is selected, the number of beads becomes 9

So, the probability of selecting a blue bead is

P(Blue) = 7/9

The probability of the event is then calculated using:

P = 3/10 * 7/9

Evaluate

P = 7/30

Hence, the probability of the event is 7/30
