Two consecutive odd number have the form: 2n+1; 2n+3.
We have:
(2n+1)(2n+3)=399
=> 4x^2+8x+3=399
=> 4x^2+8x-396=0
=> 4(x+11)(x-9)=0
=> x=-11; x=9
(3,0) and (0,6)
Y= -2x + 6
0= -2x + 6
-6/-2 = 3
X= 3
(3,0)
Y = -2(0) + 6
Y=6
(0,6)
Take $1.29 times 3(number of nights) and add $.50 = $4.37
Linear functions have to have the same slope between any 2 points
find the slope betwen them
slope betwen 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,12) and (3,9)
slope=(9-12)/(3-1)=-3/2
if we wanted to chek furthere, we check (3,9) and (5,6) and fnd that the slope is also -3/2
so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=-3/2x+b
find b
if x=1 then y=12
12=-3/2+b
add 3/2 both sides
12+3/2=b
13+1/2=b
26/2+1/2=b
27/2=b
y=-3/2x+27/2
try them
we have 2 x values
7 and 3
input them and see their outputs
for x=7
y=-3/2(7)+27/2
y=-21/2+27/2
y=6/2
y=3
(7,3) is a valid point
for x=3
hold a second, we already have a x=3
it is (3,9)
none of them
answer is (7,3)
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the expected values are given by:
a) 120.
b) 150.
<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>
It is the probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
In this problem, for both items, we consider that the number cube is rolled 180 times, hence n = 180.
Item a:
4 of the 6 possible values are greater than 2, hence p = 4/6 = 2/3.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 2/3 = 120.
Item b:
5 of the 6 values are less than 6, hence p = 5/6.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 5/6 = 150.
