What is the solution to –2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5?
1 answer:
Answer:
x >
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 2 (8x - 4) < 2x + 5 ← distribute left side
- 16x + 8 < 2x + 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 18x + 8 < 5 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 18x < - 3
Divide both sides by - 18, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.
x > , that is
x >

Using the uniform distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus.
<h3>What is the uniform probability distribution?</h3>It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
In this problem, the time is uniformly distributed between 0 and 15 minutes, hence the bounds are a = 0 and b = 15.
The probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus is given by:
