Let’s take T for Trevon and R for Riggs.

T = 7 years older than R which can be written as T = R + 7

Their combined age is 49.

Therefore, T + R = 49

We need to find Trevon’s age (T.)

We can substitute R + 7 for T in the equation

T + R = 49.

We have:

R + 7 + R = 49
Now solve.

2R + 7 = 49

2R = 42

R = 21

We have found Riggs’ age which is 21.

Add 7.

Trevon’s age is 28.

Answer:

Trevon is 28 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Riggs =x

Trevon =7+x

7+x+x=49

7+2x=49

2x=49-7

2x=42

x=21

Trevon is 21+7= 28 years old

Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram. If one side measures 76 ft and 250 ft of fencing

Leni [432]

The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet

Solution:

Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram

Measure of one side = 76 feet

250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden

Therefore, perimeter = 250

The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:

Perimeter = 2(a + b)

Where, a and b are the length of sides

Here, a = 76

b = ?

Substituting in formula, we get

250 = 2(76 + b)

250 = 152 + b

2b = 250 - 152

2b = 98

b = 49

Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet

Answer:

$P(X \geq 5)=1-P(X$

We can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=0)=(19C0)(0.3)^0 (1-0.3)^{19-0}=0.00114$

$P(X=1)=(19C1)(0.3)^1 (1-0.3)^{19-1}=0.0092$

$P(X=2)=(19C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{19-2}=0.0358$

$P(X=3)=(19C3)(0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{19-3}=0.0869$

$P(X=4)=(19C4)(0.3)^4 (1-0.3)^{19-4}=0.1491$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.00114+0.009282+0.0358+0.0869+0.149]= 0.7178$

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, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=19, p=0.3)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 5)$

And we can use the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 5)=1-P(X$

We can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=0)=(19C0)(0.3)^0 (1-0.3)^{19-0}=0.00114$

$P(X=1)=(19C1)(0.3)^1 (1-0.3)^{19-1}=0.0092$

$P(X=2)=(19C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{19-2}=0.0358$

$P(X=3)=(19C3)(0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{19-3}=0.0869$

$P(X=4)=(19C4)(0.3)^4 (1-0.3)^{19-4}=0.1491$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.00114+0.009282+0.0358+0.0869+0.149]= 0.7178$
