Hi there!

The answer to the inequality given is p ≥ 5

To get there follow these steps:
1. Distribute the -3, -3p-3≤-18
2. Add -3 to both sides, {-3p (-3 + 3 = 0) ≤ (-18 + 3 = -15)} = -3p ≤ -15
3. Divide both sides by -3, $\frac{-3p}{-3}$ ≤ $\frac{-15}{-3}$ 
4. The final answer is p ≥ 5

If you need this graphed see below:

What is negative 21/9 times negative 18/7

diamong [38]

Answer:

negative 21/9 times negative 18/7 is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase negative 21/9 times negative 18/7 can be written mathematically as

$-\frac{21}{9} \times -\frac{18}{7}$

Lets first convert the fractions into decimal values

$-\frac{21}{9}$ = -2.33

$-\frac{18}{7}$ = -2.57

Now on simplyfying

=> $-2.33 \times -2.57$

=> 5.988

=>6 (rounding off)

We will get a positive value because the multiplicative law states that the product of two negative number is positive

Complete Question

According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267 Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze

(a) What is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 6 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Answer:

$P(X=6)=(0.162)$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size $n=18$

Probability $P=0.267$

No. that do not cover their mouth when sneezing $x=6$

Generally the equation for The Binomial distribution is mathematically given by

Parameters

B(18,0.267)

Therefore

$P(X=x)=(18..x)(0.267)^x(1-0.267)^{18-x}$

Where

$x=6$

Therefore

$P(X=6)=(18..6)(0.267)^6(1-0.267)^{18-6}$

$P(X=6)=(0.162)$

If CX = 5 units, then DZ = ___ units

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$DZ=4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If CD is parallel to XZ

then

Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle YCD

therefore

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

$\frac{XY}{CY}=\frac{ZY}{YD}$

we have

CX=5\ units, CY=25\ units, YD=20\ units,

$XY=CX+CY$

$XY=5+25=30\ units$

$ZY=YD+DZ$

$ZY=20+DZ$

substitute the values

$\frac{30}{25}=\frac{20+DZ}{20}$

$20\frac{30}{25}={20+DZ}$

$24={20+DZ}$

$DZ=4\ units$

A sixteen-sided number cube has the numbers 1 through 16 on each face. Each face is equally likely to show after a roll. What is

KonstantinChe [14]

Probaility in general is defined as the ratio of positive outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

In the first example, the total outcomes are 16; let us count the positive ones. There are 8 even numbers from 1-16. The prime numbers are 2,3,5,7,11,13. Out of those, only 5 are odd. Hence, in total there are 13 positive outcomes. Thus, the probability is 13/16=81.25%

Let's restrict the problem to the students that studied for the exam; the proportion is 0.57 of the total students. 0.52 of the total students studied and saw an increase in their exam. Hence, the probability that a student who studied saw an increse is 0.52/0.57 (here a positive outcome is the proportion that saw an increase and the total outcomes are all the students that studied). 0.52/0.57=91.22%
